Expert Tips

The fat content of ground beef depends on the cut of meat it came from. Regular ground beef—made from less-expensive cuts—contains up to 30 percent fat. Moderately priced ground chuck contains just enough fat to give it flavor and make it juicy. The leanest (around 5 percent fat) is the most expensive and is made from round and sirloin cuts.

Of course you can use French-fried onions instead of the seasoned croutons!

I havent tried it with the veggies yet. If the hamburger helper seems a bit bland, you can add Herb Ox beef season (in packets). It has no sodium or MSG. I would only add 1/2 packet to start with and then add more to your taste if needed. I have used the Herb Ox and 1/2 the season that comes with in the Hamburger Helper box to cut down on the sodium. still tastes good. I will rate it 5 because it sounds very delicious.
