I really like Hamburger Helper, but it is just better to make it homemade! I really enjoy making my own using the one-skillet method and lots of spices and taste! You can easily add frozen veggies (like I do) at the end to make it healthier and always use low-sodium condensed soups in your recipes so that you have more control over the salt content of your dishes!
