If you are looking for a healthy and wholesome skillet meal, put the Hamburger Helper back on the shelf and make this yummy dinner instead. I think my husband and kids were pretty glad that I chose to do so haha! I mean, really, who wants a boxed meal anyway? I know that we all use them from time to time but I try to avoid the practice if I can. I’m a home cooking kind of gall 🙂
This skillet meal is really easy to make. I was impressed by the robust flavors! My husband and kids thought it was pretty dang swell, too 🙂
