I saw a comment somewhere on my social media the other day about hamburger helper. It reminded me of my early teens and going to my dad’s on the weekends. Boy, did we eat a good amount of hamburger helper style dinners. It may not be great for you, but it did taste great, and I loved that time with him. That comment, however, did inspire me to try and create my own style of hamburger helper, but homemade. Here’s the recipe I whipped up: - 1 package pasta (penne works well) - 1 tbsp olive oil - 1 medium onion chopped - 2 pounds ground beef - 1 tsp garlic powder - 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice - 1 (6 oz can) tomato paste - 1 tsp Dijon mustard - 1 tsp Italian seasoning - 3/4 cup heavy cream - Salt & pepper to taste - Freshly grated cheese—I used Parmesan and Gouda DIRECTIONS: * Cook noodles at any time. 1.) Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add in chopped onions and cook until translucent. 2.) In the same pan add in your ground beef and garlic powder. Brown your beef. 3.) Once browned, add in your diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Stir and bring to a simmer. 4.) Once simmering, add in your heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir in the cheese. 5.) Serve and enjoy!

I just dropped a new recipe book. There is one small catch. You have to be at level 3 inside this community to be able to download it. I view it as a reward to those who are most active and engaged inside here. I appreciate you all, but it’s just a little something extra to those who are joining in the discussion. Just a quick…it doesn’t take a whole lot to get to level three. 🤝 Here is the link to access (if you’re at level 3): https://www.skool.com/dinnerbelldays/classroom/7f746f81
