The untold story about Hamburger Helper

Haven't we all just taken that red and white box for granted? But, did you know that Hamburger Helper was introduced during a beef crisis? In 1972, a change in the population of anchovies used in animal feed caused beef prices to skyrocket.

Hamburger Helper was launched to help people stretch their beef and their dollars. The box mix paired with just one pound of beef put dinner on the table for America's families. Read more by clicking here.

4. Reduce the heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 10-12 minutes.

Ideas for changing this Hamburger Helper Beef Pasta – you can add your own twist

This beef stroganoff recipe is very flexible, and I'm sure you'll find ways to customize it to your preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started making your own fresh twist to this basic recipe.

• For a heartier dinner, you can go up to 2 pounds of lean ground beef.
• Instead of using hot water, you could swap the water for beef broth, this will give you more flavor, but it will have a higher sodium count.
• If you really like mushrooms, add a couple of small cans of them.
• Switch the mushroom soup with a roasted garlic variety of mushroom soup.
• To make a more complete meal, add some fresh broccoli or other vegetables. You can definitely hide vegetables that your kids will eat in this recipe.
• If you want a cheesy dish, use cheese instead of sour cream. Throw in some diced tomatoes and really enjoy something nice!
• Want to dial up the flavor, consider adding a couple of teaspoons of dijon mustard to the sauce mix.
• Add a chopped bell pepper when you add the noodles.
• Instead of using water, you can use beef stock

Frequently asked questions

Can I use cream instead of sour cream in stroganoff?

You can swap the sour cream for heavy cream or even creme frache. The consistency will be creamier without the characteristic tang of sour cream.

Can I use a different shape of pasta than farfalle?

You can use any shape of pasta you desire, you could swap the pasta for egg noodles, a gluten-free or grain-based pasta if you desire.

Storing, freezing, and reheating leftovers of Hamburger Helper Stroganoff

• Store – store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freeze – store in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 3 months.
• Reheat – this can be easily reheated when covered in the microwave. You may want to stir in a small amount of sour cream, as the pasta will absorb some of the sauce when it is stored.
