 Here's a recipe for a classic Hamburger Helper-style dish:

Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 1 pound ground beef

 * 1 onion, chopped

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced

 * 1 tablespoon olive oil

 * 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

 * 1/2 cup milk

 * 1/2 cup water

 * 1 teaspoon dried parsley

 * 1/2 teaspoon salt

 * 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 * 1 cup elbow macaroni

Instructions

 * Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbled, and onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.

 * Sauté garlic: Add garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute more, until fragrant.

 * Make the sauce: Stir in cream of mushroom soup, milk, water, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

 * Cook the pasta: Add the elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.

 * Serve: Serve hot.

Tips and Variations:

 * Add vegetables: Stir in chopped carrots, celery, or frozen peas along with the ground beef and onion.

 * Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce for some heat.

 * Make it cheesy: Top with shredded cheddar cheese before serving.

 * Use different pasta: Try using other types of pasta, such as shells, rotini, or penne.
