Stockpiling Saturday – Using your Stockpile: Hamburger Helper

Okay, so were stockpiling! We’re buying things in bulk at super low prices.  But…what do you do when you have more body wash that your shelf will hold, enough light bulbs to last you a lifetime and so much Hamburger Helper that just looking at it makes you sick of it?  LOL!  We’ll I’m going to try to bring you some tips on using up things it a creative manner.

This week, I’ll start with Hamburger Helper because I have a lot.  LOL!   It’s easy to get this cheap.  I just recently got them at 48c a box!

I know, that’s a lot of Hamburger Helper!  I’ve found ways to use it other than cooking it by the directions on the box.  A lot of times, I don’t even put hamburger meat in it!

The Cheesy Enchilada and the Double Cheese Quesadilla are basically mexican rice and cheese sauce.   I don’t add hamburger meat when I cook them.  I make refried beans and we use that and the hamburger helper to fill tortillas and make rice and bean burritos!

Cheeseburger macaroni can be made without hamburger meat and just used as a side dish.

Cheesy Hashbrowns can be made with out the meat too.  Sometimes I will use shredded cheese instead of the cheese sauce in the box.  I love to add onions, bell peppers and tomatoes to the hashbrowns.

The Tuna Helper brand has several flavors like Creamy Parmesan that make nice side dishes like you would buy the Lipton/Knorr sides for.

So when it comes to Hamburger Helper, you have to think outside the box!!

Now you can snatch up those Hamburger Helper deals when they come along!
