1
pound lean ground beef
1
cup water
2
cups milk
1
package Hamburger Helper® cheeseburger macaroni
5
cups slightly crushed tortilla chips
1 1/4
cups Old El Paso® salsa (any variety)
2/3
cup sour cream
Sliced ripe olives, if desired
Green onion, sliced, if desired
  • 1 Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain.
  • 2 Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hambuger Helper box). Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
  • 3 Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Remove from heat and uncover (sauce will thicken as it stands).

The salt content in all Hamburger Helpers is so high that we have quit eating them....what is the problem with letting the consumer add salt and not forcing it on him (or her). The stroganoff had almost 4 GRAMS of salt in one box!

Why is the sodium content so high? Salt tastes good. Salt is cheap.
