Frugal Living Friday- Hamburger Helper

I love Hamburger Helper! My favorite is cheeseburger macaroni. I also like Chicken Helper. Chicken Alfredo…mmm!

The only problem I had with it was a box barely feed four people much less five. I have three kids. But I found a way to make it go farther.

Add more noodles. Yes, you can add about a cup (sometimes 1-1/2 cups) of uncooked noodles to extend Hamburger Helper. Then it would be able to feed five very easily. Now that the kids are out of the house and in college, I still add extra noodles it cuts the salt per serving down (health benefit). And I use the leftovers for lunches at work.

Just my 2 cents. Jim @ ChangeJarSavings.com
