Hamburger Skillet Dinner a Fresh Take on Hamburger Helper

5.0(21)

This is a super helpful recipe I found in a "Company's Coming" cookbook. The whole family tucks into this dish with a salad on the side. I also like it because it follows the technique of Hamburger Helper (read: easy to do) without having to buy a box from the store.
