We have been avoiding processed foods and my hubby has been missing the hamburger helper. So, this is my take on it, made from scratch ! I used my dehydrated potatoes, and rehydrated them an hour or so before using them. (just pour lukewarm water on them and let set) You could use fresh potatoes, but would have to adjust the cooking time, to make sure the potatoes were cooked through. * Sometimes I'll use noodles instead of potatoes, which is very good, too ! (I guess that would make it noodles and beef stroganoff, lol)
