Homemade Hamburger Helper?

This recipe was taken from my Ward Cookbook, the Bishop's wife contributed it. And my kids LOVE it! Super simple... so why would I ever buy Hamburger Helper again for a quick meal?

 

The secret is in this great Season Salt we found! No MSG!! And it tastes GREAT!

(found at Costco, and more recently at Wal*Mart) 

Cook some pasta, al dente. It doesn't matter which kind, though my kids like the shells for some reason! LOL 

Brown your Hamburger, seasoning generously with the season salt.

Add a can of drained corn, heat through.

Drain the pasta. 

Add the meat to the noodles and smoother with grated cheese.

That is it!!

Isn't she brilliant?

5 ingredients and it is tasty!!!

And no added preservatives or funny "boxed food taste".

Serve with a great side salad and you are done!
