replacement hamburger helper!



Recommended Posts

So i used to be obsessed with beef stroganoff hamburger helper so i was playing around and found a decent replacement!

take 1 lb of 90% lean ground beef and brown it.

add 1 cup of peas and 1/2 a bag of baby spinach and sautee it until spinach is cooked.

then mix 98% fat free cream of mushroom Soup w/ 1/4 cup of skim milk and mix until thinned. Add the soup to the other ingredients and simmer together for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it thicken and it tastes amazing! it's all the tastes of hamburger helper with minimal fat and no pasta!

you can season to taste

Thanks for the recipe. I have been trying lots of new recipes too trying to eat better and also keep eating things that taste good. I keep up with all of my calories etc on My Fitness Pal and I was suprised that alot of the recipes on the major websites that i have tried are already on there calculated for me. That has been nice. I have been playing around with lots of new veggie recipes and have enjoyed making Cauliflower Crust pizza (it was really yummy), roasted brussel sprouts, stuffed mushrooms etc. Who knew I could eat tasty stuff and still lose weight and consider myself as eating healthy. I will try this recipe next week after I head to the store. Thanks for the recipe!

Just my personal preference, I always, even before surgery, drain the oil from ground beef. I also rinse it with hot Water, just to get rid of the fat.

I have a severe mushroom allergy, and I make some similar. I use the brown gravy packets (the powder that you mix with Water and boil) and then a good tablespoon of sour cream. It makes perfect stroganoff. Also if you don't want to use ground beef, go to the deli and get some sliced roast beef, just ask them to slice it a little thick. :) If you really love the mushrooms you can add canned mushrooms my dad does, and loves it that way.

Sooo good. Thanks for sharing. I added a little garlic powder and a teaspoon of Worcester sauce, as I always put that in my old recipe.

It works with sliced deli turkey too, I use the jar of turkey gravy, and serve it with mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
