Julie's Journal

Here’s another great recipe from the General Mills Table Talk event that we cooked in the Betty Crocker Kitchen. I have a weird hang-up about Hamburger Helper, but this was pretty tasty. I was surprised.

Garden-Fresh Lasagna
Prep Time: 35 Min
Start to Finish: 30 Min

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 2 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 box Hamburger Helper® lasagna
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 small tomato, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1 small bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced (1 cup)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

1. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
2. Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper box), oregano and garlic powder. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato, bell pepper, zucchini and cheese. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; uncover (sauce will thicken as it stands). Stir before serving.
