This was quite good, I only added 3 crushed cloves of garlic, fresh ground pepper, and kosher salt, but otherwise left as is. Nice go to meal when u r using up produce or have a little of this and that left in the fridge.

Easy, fast and good! I added 1/2 cup of fresh cut carrots, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and 1 can green beans. I cooked as directed and it came out great! We all had seconds.

Homemade Hamburger Helper! I used leftover potatoes from a roast, chopped into small cubes. I also used beef broth and some steak seasoning instead of the bouillon and water. Threw in carrots and some chopped collard greens for extra veggies and it was really good! My kids were skeptical but once they took a bite, they were happy.

This was a really quick, one pan meal. I took some readers advice and added garlic when browning, and some worcestershire sauce after. It wasn't the greatest thing I've eaten, kind of plain. I would've only given it 3 stars, but my husband liked it and my 3 year old (who always pushes away her dinner) loved it. I will make it again.

My family liked this. I shredded the potatoes and added shredded carrots. Also added garlic, worcestershire, and a little basil. I used less water to brown the potatoes more. It turned out great.

To me, it was bland. I don't know if my bouillon is old, or what, though when I make this again, I will crisp up the potatoes first, and perhaps add a ranch flavor to it? I added about a 1/4 cup of water, let it evaporate, thickened it, and added corn, fresh garlic and cheddar cheese, salt & pepper to wake it up. Will be tweaking this recipe again.

I doubled this and added a bit of garlic and this recipe came out exactly as I anticipated. After reading through the reviews and looking at the submitted photo's I realize technique and expectation varies widely. Some are adding thickeners to make a gravy and describe it as stew like when I was after something like popping a can of hash. I diced the the potato and onion very small for starters and left some of the fat after browning the beef and onion. I brought it to a low simmer and stirred occasionally, uncovered, until all the liquid was gone and it started to brown a little (took about an hour). I refrigerated it overnight and in the morning made patties and pan fried them in a bit of olive oil until crusty on both sides, but soft in the middle. Absolutely delicious topped with a couple eggs.
