Comforting, delicious and most definitely an easy Homemade Hamburger Helper. Most of you already have these ingredients in your fridge and trust me it is far better than the one you get from the box in your grocery store.

My family loves this so much…

Well, to be honest, they love anything with pasta and cheese. That being said, it is no brainer that the skillet is licked clean each time I make this beef and cheese pasta.

Lately, I have been making this with gluten-free pasta and it is equally fantastic. I just feel so much better when I eat gluten-free meals on my cheat days. By the way, I am on a low carb diet. Well, it is not a diet because it became part of my lifestyle.

Anyhow, the taste of this yumminess is very comforting and it warms you up like a blanket, especially in the cold winter day. Also, it makes a perfect lunch or dinner as well as if you have any leftovers.

Just place in the airtight container and in the fridge. You can keep it for up to 3 days. You can also double the recipe if you have a large family or big eaters.

Homemade Hamburger Helper

Simple, easy and delicious dinner idea.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef 20/80
• ½ tbsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp. salt, or to taste
• 1 tsp. ground black pepper
• 8 oz Mexican table cream
• 2 cups cooked shells or macaroni
• 1 cup pasta beef sauce, or any other on hand
• 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
• a sprinkle of red hot chili flakes

Instructions

1. Cook pasta according to the pack, but make sure not to overcook it. It's the best if it is "al dente" (cooked to be firm to the bite).
2. In a large skillet, add beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley then stir very well.
3. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is completely browned and done.
4. Add in pasta sauce, mix then pour table cream, and bring to a gentle bubbling.
5. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add in cooked pasta. You can use any pasta that is similar to shells or macaroni. Gluten-free or vegetable pasta works well as well.
6. Stir in about 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover the skillet with a fitted lid and let sit for a couple of minutes before serving so the cheese could melt.
7. Garnish with more dry parsley and red hot chili flakes if you wish.

I served it with steamed asparagus that after it's done, I seasoned it with a good pinch of sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil a good squeeze of lemon. It is absolutely perfect with this beef and cheese pasta or hamburger helper.

Notes

You can use a combination of shredded mild cheddar cheese and ragu cheese sauce or just ragu cheese sauce. Whatever you feel like using, or whatever you have in your fridge.

You may use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You may add vegetables such as blanched broccoli, or peas and carrots.

Pull Apart Two Cheese Bread- Simple, easy and a perfect bread for entertaining…

Don’t you just love cheesy loaves? I love em’ all. I could dive into the cheese and bread bowl and be a happy camper for the rest of my life.

These days, I am trying to cut back on both, but today was not one of those days that I am cutting back.

I planned it all out. Gameday, it’s Sunday, so a little indulges, or a guilty pleasure that I’d call this kind of food, wouldn’t hurt.

My kids are happy, hubby happy and I couldn’t be more pleased how this Cheesy Goodness turned out.

I think I should’ve added more butter before adding the cheese, but honestly this baked savory deliciousness was perfect regardless.

I served this bread with marinara sauce, of course. I am going to tell you that I made the most delicious chicken wings too, Spicy BBQ baked wings to go with these and they were finger licking freaking good.

Pull Apart Two Cheese Bread

Print

Pull Apart Two Cheese Bread is simple, tasty and perfect to serve any time of the week with any meal, especially pasta.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Book Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Artisan bread loaf mine is Italian bread
• 1 lb. Mozzarella Cheese block sliced
• 1 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4-1/2 cup Butter melted
• 1 tsp. Dried Parsley + Sprinkle more before baking
• 1 tsp. Garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C

2. Cut the bread into squares, but do not cut all the way through the bread -as shown in the video. First, you slice it, into the thickness of the slices that you want, then you go across and slice it again. You will end up with little squares.

3. In between add mozzarella slices, you can use more or less, I thought one slice per wedge is enough.

4. Open up those wedges that you placed mozzarella and add shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Melt Butter, you can use more butter and drizzle it in between the wedges or cracks too.

6. In the melted butter, add dried parsley and garlic powder, and drizzle over the bread. Sprinkle a bit more of dried parsley.

7. Place aluminum foil under the bread, then make a little dome and cover the bread. You want the cheese to melt, and not bake the bread.

8. The bread will become more crunchy as the cheese is melting due to the heat, but it will not get dark as it would be if you would do it without the aluminum foil.

9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and almost oozing out.

10. Serve the bread whole and immediately, or cut in between the wedges all the way down, place on the platter and serve with marinara sauce.

11. Leftover bread Wrap in the plastic wrap (film) or large ziplock bag and keep it in the fridge up to 3 days, it can be heated in the microwave and before serving.

Notes

The best bread, in my opinion, is the artisan, a bit harder, but not too dark. Try to pick one that is a bit lighter, because it will get a tad darker in the oven.

You can use, Mexican Cheese blend, or Italian Cheese blend, too. Mozzarella, a bit thicker slices are recommended. You can add about 1/2 stick of garlic-herb butter before adding the cheese, then on the end and before baking drizzle more butter. It gives you this amazing taste and aroma.

Recommending because I tried it!

I used 1/4 c of Irish Butter, added herbs, garlic powder, mix but keep it cold. Add in between the cracks, then add cheese. Before baking, melt 1/4 c of butter with garlic and herbs and drizzle on top. So good!
