Homemade Hamburger Helper!!!

Of course there are several different ways that this can be made but the following is one of my most favorite ways of all. So tasty and Mexican-ish!  :)

INGREDIENTS:

3 lbs extra lean hamburger meat

1 large onion

3 cups boiling water

500 ml jar hot, medium, or mild salsa

1 large cubed zucchini (or veggie of your choice)

3 Tbls tex mex spice

1 tsp pepper

1 bag whole wheat egg noodles

METHOD:

Cook hamburger meat in a large skillet pan until dark brown, then add the onions and cook for five more minutes before adding the boiling water. Remove the excess grease from the meat before adding the onions or water. 

Bring to a simmering boil, then add tex mex and pepper spices, along with the jar of salsa. Simmer 10 to 20 minutes...or until thickened. Add zucchini pieces in last 10 minutes of cooking.

Mix beef and zuchinni mixture with cooked whole wheat egg noodles and serve.  

You may add corn niblets or beans to this recipe...I've done both in the past.  Use your imagination and change up my recipe as much as you like...I often do too!  It can even be served over mashed potatoes! 

Enjoy! :)
