I added a slight twist to the original recipe and I got rave reviews for the dish! I used a packet of Taco Seasoning on the ground beef used monteray jack and colby cheeses instead of american and crumbled nacho cheese flavoured doritos on the top of it. Nearly everyone in my family helped themselves to seconds!!! Read More

Great recipe! Modifications that I made: 1 teaspoon of "Taco Seasoning 1" and used 1/4 cup of cheddar and 1/4 cup monterrey Jack cheese instead of the American slices. Since I was out of milk I used 1/3 cup light sour cream instead. My husband loves this one! Read More

One of my favorites now- One little tip: I've found if you use generic soy sauce- follow the recipe; however if you use the higher quality stuff you may want to use a little less- I've made this recipe with wheat pasta lean ground beef skim milk and fat-free Kraft Singles which turned it into a great low-fat dinner too!

Just got done eating this for dinner and my husband and I both agree that it is very tasty. I added some Velveeta cheese and a little bit of leftover shredded sharp cheddar and left out maybe one or two of the American cheese slices. What's weird is my husband and I both really like Hamburger Helper but I won't buy it anymore because of the trans fat in it (I try to avoid most foods with hyrdogenated oils). So this to us was like Hamburger Helper only better. Thanks for the easy quick and yummy recipe! Read More

This recipe is just like it says Beefy Cheesy Pasta. My husband I enjoyed this homemade version of Hamburger Helper. I did change the recipe a bit and added some sour cream and a little prepared mustard to it. My consistency before adding the sour cream was a bit too dry in my opinion. It was a nice change to our weeknight meal selections. It was fast easy tasty. Read More
