Do you find yourselves eating a lot of Hamburger Helper since it's quick and easy?  Make your own!

Works with hamburger, turkey breast or turkey or regular ham and all of those are reasonably inexpensive.

Cook about 3/4 package wide egg noodles until not quite done.

Add two cans creamed soups of your choice.

Excellant ones to try are cream of broccoli, cream of mushroom, cheddar cheese, cream of celery, and cream of chicken.

Mix with about a pound of browned hamburger or cubed meat.

Bake at about 350 degrees for a 1/2 hour or so, stirring now and then to mix ingrediants together.

Then top with bread crumbs and sprinkle with paprika and parsley flakes for flavor and appearance. Some varieties do well with some shredded cheddar cheese too.

Bake for another 20 - 30 minutes or until slightly browned on top.
