How to Make Healthy Hamburger Helper
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- While the oil is heating, peel and dice one medium onion, chop two medium carrots, and mince three cloves of garlic.
- Add the diced onions, chopped carrots, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent.
- Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for approximately 10 minutes until browned.
- Sprinkle in salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in 2 cups of macaroni noodles, 3 cups of broth, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, and ¼ cup of ketchup. Ensure each ingredient is well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 5-8 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and mix in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Plate your Healthy Hamburger Helper hot, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or chives. Enjoy!
