Thanks for watching Everyone! *Blew the focus on a shot... but the recipe is so good I decided to release the video anyway.* What's your go-to comfort food to make for weekday lunches?
Anything that goes into a crock pot. A nice creamy chicken casserole topped with crispy Ritz crackers, or a delicious Korean beef bulgogi over rice, topped with green onion.
Me: I'm an adult, my tastes have matured, I don't eat food out of boxes any more. Also Me: Spending the rest of my adult life trying to make something that tastes like Hamburger Helper.
I think a lot of families have their own take on this, also sometimes referred to as American Goulash. I sometimes add some red kidney beans and chili spices to give it more of a chili vibe. There are all sorts of alterations you can make to this sort of dish.
My family makes a version on this and we called it “junk” it is always such a comfort. Just mac and cheese, can of diced tomatoes, onions, and seasoned ground beef.
With ground beef, I'm finding adding lentils in is fantastic... Pantry staple, cheap, healthy, seasons up perfectly with the ground beef to add another 'beefy' texture to the mix. I cook it separately, then add to the browned beef. Would work fab in this recipe.
I should try this. My family (husband and adult son) are resistant to lentils, but if I combine them with ground beef, it might fly. I would happily eat beans (or lentils) and rice 3 times a week, but they are really meat-forward fellas. Thanks for the ideas!
Reminds me of a college favorite, combine 2 boxes mac & cheese, a can of Rotel, and a can of no bean chili con carne. Less than 20 minutes to feed 4 hungry roommates. Now I fancy it up a bit, but still aiming for the same taste, just with better ingredients.
excellent video. so many people say they dont like hamburger helper but when they are forced to eat it they finally admit they actually DO like it. i dont know why people put that kind of front on. i love it personally and im not ashamed to say it.
I love hamburger helper! About 6 to 8 months ago I did this very thing, only I made a seasoning blend so I can just keep it on hand to make Hamby Helpy whenever I get the urge. Good quality cheddar cheese powder (experimenting with freeze dried cheese as we speak to get an even better product.) garlic powder onion powder fresh cracked black pepper Magical savory goodness (msg) sweetener homemade stock powder made in my freeze dryer. Regular stock of course is fine. Add it to anything as you've stated above and boom, deliciousness!
Not everyone can afford freeze dryer units. Those thing are near $1000 CAD. All I have is a food dehydrator. So I'm stuck with the boxed stuff for broth as it's just something I never have extra of.
Canned diced tomatoes and taco seasoning and canned pinto beans, that is what I add when I make this same type of dish for my family and they love it. So simple, so quick so comforting.
Thanks Glen! I tried this last night and it was a hit. A word of caution for those that make this dish. Depending on the beef stock you use, it can bring a lot of sodium to the party. I would recommend adding your salt and pepper at the end instead of with the other ingredients to help mitigate that risk. Ours wound up only slightly over-salted and was still very delicious. Mushrooms are a great addition as well. Terrific flavours that take me back to when I was a kid. It will be a new regular in our recipe box.
Good recipe starter. Love seeing Julie come in at the end of your videos. I wait for "Hi, Friends" and her comments about what you've made. Hello from Texas. Thanks so much for all you do.
Thank You so much! My husband makes this about 3 times per week. He uses misc. meat, depending on what's available. He adds vegetables from the freezer and a little bit of stock. Neither of us can have alcohol, so we don't add those flavors. However as a go to simple warm meal it can't be beat! Thank you again for a lovely episode! Huge hugs from Minnesota, USA!
Tuna salad containing grapes and sliced almonds along with celery plus 2 boiled eggs. Make sandwich, eat as a salad, use as a dip with scoops or crackers. Love your shows.
My aunt used to make a version of this with more Latin/Mexican spices and called in goulash. I don't call it goulash, but I toss some corn and sliced black olives and it gives it a more CalMex feel.
Awesome. I always cut off the end of my tube-o-meats with kitchen shears. But today I learned to cut it length-wise! Yes, it's the small things sometimes.
Just made this with leftover Gouda, Jack, and Cheddar. We also used a ton of green onions that have sprouted from the backyard (Louisiana). Turned out great! Great channel. First time poster, long time viewer.
I tried this tonight for dinner & my family LOVED IT! I added a cup and a half of marinara sauce at the end to really enhance the pasta-ness of it and the flavors! Once it was done I also added Italian breadcrumbs on top , as well as a dollop of sour cream and 3 leaves of parsley ! It was wonderful. 🤍🙌🏽 Perfect one - pot dish and it was super FAST! Thanks Glenn. Always loved your videos since the day i first stumbled on you 3 years ago!
All of these comfort foods came from a homemade version which we perverted to make quick and easy and shelf stable....even bread. So good to see the original recipes. Some of us are curious and want to know the origins. Not to mention, we all need some comfort right about now. Thank you.
Brings back memories when I was a kid cooking some Hamburger Helper before my dad gets home for supper. I kind of burned it. Well, I learned that he says to turn it on high on the stove. lol When I got older, I learned to take it easy cooking. :)
As a single man I'm always looking to cook something fast and tasty and something I could put in the fridge and eat the next day and still taste good this is one of the meals that's on my list I'll be making this week and it's also one of my favorite fast dishes to make..
Pretty much like the Goulash Ma used to make. She "doctored" hers up with green peppers, garlic...well, just about anything she was feeling hungry for at the time. I find the dish very comforting too. I'm happy you shared this Glen :)
I grew up poor, but not as poor as my best friend. His mom used to cook Kraft mac and cheese, and then add a can of undiluted Campbell's beef barley soup. It sounds a bit sus, but I remember wishing my mom would make it because it was delicious.
@@raymreed Yep. Both products in full. They had a really big family, with six kids (all boys), so they were only "poorer" because they had so many more mouths to feed. They were all crammed into half a duplex. My friend, the second youngest, would come over to my house for dinner sometimes too. I remember the first time he was over, my mom made a nice pot roast with fondant potatoes and candied carrots (my mom could really cook). My buddy started crying while we were eating, which I didn't understand as a ten year old, but my mom made him feel better. She told me later he was crying because he hadn't ever really eaten anything like that and was sort overwhelmed. He and his brothers all went on to be really successful, even after their father killed himself. Crazy stuff. I should look that guy up...
@@raymreed We'd call that "Beans and Ground Beef" - it was a frequent at our large table. I have ten siblings, and my mom actually struggled to make small meals as we all left the nest. Hotdishes and food in bulk was all she did for decades.
@@raymreed a friend of mine years ago showed me how to make something she called cowboy beans, which was hamburger, baked beans with mustard and ketchup added. Hmm. That makes me want some...
I've been watching your videos on facebook for months and was too dumb to realize you had a youtube channel. Haha I love the recipes, the gf and I always check out what you're making to inspire our date night dinners. Thanks guys!!!! 🤘🏻
I grew up on Hamburger Helper at least several time a month. Hot foods that are some combination of meat, cheese, tomato sauce, or pasta is comfort food to me. I’m making this haven’t had it in a very long while. Thanks.
This was great! I added a can of tomato paste, nutritional yeast and cheddar powder in my attempt, then finished it with the real cheese. Whole family agreed it blows the boxed stuff out of the water.Thanks for this method!!
Well, you see... Canadians reproduction is different from American. When two Canadians love each other very much, they apologize energetically. Then the lady Canadian deposits her fertilized eggs in a tent with her ovipositor where her canadian babies can mature through the harsh winter. Then after the snow melts and spring returns, the matured Canadian offspring shed their tent and rove the land, searching for a more permanent wood and concrete structure to create cooking videos and eventually create more offspring. It's a beautiful and very polite cycle of life. /Just fun, I love Canada.
@@wackywankavatorWell sir I’m late to the party really but still I’m sure I’m there first to arrive. Great comment!!!!!!❤❤❤❤. Thank you for making my day. I’ve been counting trees out here and it gets cold at night.
I've made a version of this the same way for 20+ years. I never once thought of adding mustard to it. I can't wait to try this with some dijon. Excellent video Glen!
Aww I loved Hamburger Helper when I was first on my own. Then I realized they all tasted the same and I could do it myself with fresher ingredients. lol Ah adulthood.
Glen,I have never had hamburger helper in my life, neverthless, I have made this 4 times in the last month.... Barely measuring after the first time. The difference in what I do, is I add green pepper, don't put marmite or mustard, add onion powder and worcersteshire sauce. Less than half an hour, always great, not great for my 32 year old waistline maybe, but I love it. Thanks a lot
When I would be home for the summer from school I would make mac and cheese and add ground beef with pinto beans. I never knew about hamburger helper until I was older. Still a favorite that one and the Potatoes stroganoff. I usually add spinach.
Thanks for this recipe. I've had some ground beef in the fridge trying to figure what to make. I didn't have any marmite or vegemite, so used beef demiglaze. Also, instead of mustard, I used a tsp of mustard powder. Taste reminded me of the original hamburger helper. Husband even gave it a thumbs up.
Looks very similar to something we often had back when I was a teenager, main difference being we added in some tomato sauce with the stock for a bit extra flavour.
I appreciate how many purposes you use the braisers for... I love mine, and I have to say they are an underrated piece of cookware relative to the Dutch ovens and skillets most folks have
Turned out fantastic. Played around with it a bit, adding quite a bit more garlic as that's how we like it and it wasn't overpowering at all. Made it using gluten-free pasta so my better half could enjoy it and she loved it. A home run for great comfort food. Greetings from Alberta!
Chili Mac is always great. My college cafeteria used to serve something like a patty melt. If you add enough pickles and dip it in mustard and ketchup, it wasn’t half bad.
Lol, Jonathan. We need a recipe for that. :) PS I mix elbow macaroni with my chili for better digestion and it works. People might call it Chicago Chili.
@@GregSzarama It was the most consistent of all DEFAC foods. The scrambled eggs may be extra runny or rubbery. The green beans may be hard or mushy. The SoS may be extra S (the first one). But chili mac always tasted the same.
I use ground beef, onion, garlic any type of pasta I feel like (eggless noodles) and for spices I switch it up to tumeric and curry or garam masala....Amazing
I had to make two pretty big changes. First of all I do low-carb, so I put in a couple of cups of rice cauliflower at the point in the recipe where you put the macaroni in. I also had no marmite, so instead I put Worcestershire sauce, and a few dashes of fish sauce. Everything else I did exactly the same. It was absolutely fantastic!
Literally one of the only recipes where I cook the pasta in the sauce. I’ve tried other pasta dishes using the one pot method and they turn out horribly. But these Mac and beef type recipes are great using the one pot method. Great video and Happy New Year!
I’ve been in kind of a rut with my meals lately and this would be a really nice change! Thank you! *EDIT* I made this last night as soon as I got home and it blew my mind! I’ve gotta make it again, ASAP. I don’t have marmite so I used Worcestershire sauce. I also subbed a cup of stock for spicy v8, used ground Buffalo instead of beef, chickpea pasta, and mozzarella instead of cheddar. Going to get marmite and try it with that and cheddar.
This is my second comment on this channel I have been cooking since a young age taught by my gran who grew up in the depression I even became a chef for 20yrs anyway I hate Jamie Oliver and other TV chefs books because they contain ingredients that are NOT in your cupboards But Since watching these talented people I have gone back to my roots buying off eBay very old recipe books by unknown chefs and what I have realized is all the recipes contained within the pages are catered to NORMAL people..most of the ingredients YOU HAVE in your cupboards Potato onions tomato sauce..frozen veg..mince.. I have subsidiary started buying off eBay cooker books from 1970 backwards..I have made Hamburger helper Meatloaf Veg medley 1937 casserole The point being they are SIMPLE EASY FOOLPROOF NUTRITIONAL meals that are very tasty and well worth making with no waste.. Please if you do read this just bring up on ytube recipes from that era and guarantee you will have most of the ingredients in your cupboards no need to go to Alaska for the prime rib made by Eskimos 🤣👍
I made this tonight for tea. Living in New Zealand there's a few things I miss food wise. I'm looking forward to food tonight. I miss milk in bags which I reused to put stuff into the freezer after washing n drying. :)
Thanks for watching Everyone! *Blew the focus on a shot... but the recipe is so good I decided to release the video anyway.* What's your go-to comfort food to make for weekday lunches?
Anything that goes into a crock pot. A nice creamy chicken casserole topped with crispy Ritz crackers, or a delicious Korean beef bulgogi over rice, topped with green onion.
Chili, almost every week
Fresh hot bread and butter.
Thanks for telling us, I was squinting trying to figure out why I couldn't focus!
probably goulash
Me: I'm an adult, my tastes have matured, I don't eat food out of boxes any more. Also Me: Spending the rest of my adult life trying to make something that tastes like Hamburger Helper.
Mature people don't eat at McDonalds. Now come help me recreate a big mac from scratch.
I'm looking for homemade sloppy Joe myself
@@TerryMcQ79 sloppy joes are my go to comfort food. just google it, tons of recipes for homemade and it's so much better
I'm tempted to give you all my easy to make sloppy Joe recipe. lol :)
You're not missing much. When they changed the recipe of Hamburger Helper to make it healthy, most of the flavor went away.
I think a lot of families have their own take on this, also sometimes referred to as American Goulash. I sometimes add some red kidney beans and chili spices to give it more of a chili vibe. There are all sorts of alterations you can make to this sort of dish.
😮😅
I'm dying for a good copycat of Uncle Ben's wild rice. It's always been one of my all-time favorites!
@@minuteman4199 chef Jon is amazing to. Love all his recipes
Oooo tree planters! How about a “Foresters Breakfast” sometime .
I'd arm wrassle you over what's left. That looks great!
Thank for sharing Glen (and Jules!)

@@wendymclean9765 Normal stock is fine. Just add it like glen does in his version. I just wanted something completely shelf stable ready to go.

Canned diced tomatoes and taco seasoning and canned pinto beans, that is what I add when I make this same type of dish for my family and they love it. So simple, so quick so comforting.
Yummm 😋
This sounds perfect1
Yes! I was thinking that a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and chilies would be perfect as well.
@@mahna_mahna Yes! I vote Rotel... one of my go to's...
So a tomato sauce
2 years later and this still is my go to comfort food. Thanks Glen!
Oh boy! This brings back memories of my Mom making Hamburger Helper in the 1970s.

Yeah. Making this for Sunday night. Kids should love it. If not, Monday LUNCH!

A well favorite childhood dish. I had to also had to copy since I Couldn't afford it. Turned out healthier w more veggies. Thanks for memories

Awesome! And how the flavours will enhance at lunch everyday for the week when it just ferments a little everyday! YUM YUM!
Easy and comforting. My favorite type of food
Reminds of many one pot meals my mom made on nights she worked. Delicious!
You really can't go wrong with hamburger helper. And it's the cheeseburger flavor? You're a man of taste, Glenn.
This is such a great recipe! It stays true to the concept with a much better flavor. My family loves it. Thank you for sharing it!
I’ve been trying to eat healthier and cooking more and OMG I’m so glad to have come across this recipe!!!
Terrific recipe ❤️ tried it last night but i added some chopped carrots and green peas as well
Love the easy reheat for lunch recipes.
Awesome. I always cut off the end of my tube-o-meats with kitchen shears. But today I learned to cut it length-wise! Yes, it's the small things sometimes.
Yep... Saving this for dinner either tonight or tomorrow!!!

Fantastic recipe! We didn't have vegimite on hand so used the mustard you suggested instead and it turns out great every time! Thank you!

I think a can of petit diced tomatoes would make a good addition.

Nice haircut Glen, definitely will be doing this homemade hamburger helper!
Mmm, homemade hamburger helper. We add a small can of stewed tomatoes to ours. It's so good.
Literally one of the only recipes where I cook the pasta in the sauce. I’ve tried other pasta dishes using the one pot method and they turn out horribly. But these Mac and beef type recipes are great using the one pot method.
Great video and Happy New Year!

But
Since watching these talented people I have gone back to my roots buying off eBay very old recipe books by unknown chefs and what I have realized is all the recipes contained within the pages are catered to NORMAL people..most of the ingredients YOU HAVE in your cupboards
Potato onions tomato sauce..frozen veg..mince..
I have subsidiary started buying off eBay cooker books from 1970 backwards..I have made
Hamburger helper
Meatloaf
Veg medley
1937 casserole
The point being they are SIMPLE EASY FOOLPROOF NUTRITIONAL meals that are very tasty and well worth making with no waste..
Please if you do read this just bring up on ytube recipes from that era and guarantee you will have most of the ingredients in your cupboards no need to go to Alaska for the prime rib made by Eskimos 🤣👍
I made this tonight for tea. Living in New Zealand there's a few things I miss food wise. I'm looking forward to food tonight. I miss milk in bags which I reused to put stuff into the freezer after washing n drying. :)
I do a Stroganoff Hamburger Helper knock off. Turns out really well and is fast and easy and way better tasting than the box dinner.
Great video. Thanks! Mushrooms and Swiss cheese, with a tiny bit of worcestershire would also be great.
Try teriyaki or soy sauce instead. I only like Worcestershire with fish. Maybe that's just me?
