I need a recipe for homemade hamburger helper made with elbow macaroni that kids will like. I tried a couple recipes that I found online and they were not very good. Would appreciate tried and true recipes please.
 
You could make the macaroni into mac and cheese then mix in the cooked ground meat. Or make a stroganoff style meal with the cooked macaroni, some store bought or home made beef gravy (even just make some with boullion and thicken it with cornstarch or flour) then add a squirt of catsup and dollop or two of sour cream and the ground meat.
 
My kids like the taco flavor hamburger helper, I copy it by cooking hamburger with a packet of taco seasoning and a bit of water,while my macaroni is boiling. When cooked I add a can of tomato soup with half a can of milk or water. Heat through and mix with drained noodles. I put a little shredded cheese on top of the bowls ...you can add veggies, salsa or sour cream if you want.
For cheeseburger brown the hamburger then add 2 cups shredded cheddar, 2 cups milk and a tbsp of dissolved cornstarch...heat and stir until smooth and thickened then add cooked macaroni
Stroganoff - brown hamburger and a few chopped mushrooms. Add a packet or two of brown gravy and swap the water for milk...add a 2tbsp of sour cream before mixing with cooked macaroni
