In trying to teach my daughter that you can make your own Hamburger Helper without the box, I came up with this dish. It is now a regular on our menu and we love it.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This bacon cheeseburger skillet is a homemade Hamburger Helper, but so much better. It's filled with hearty ground beef, smoky bacon, and onion. Rotel adds a little kick of flavor. Stirring in shredded cheddar cheese adds creaminess to the skillet meal. A great budget-friendly dinner idea that your entire family will love.
