Remember Hamburger Helper?

As a kid growing up, I remember Hamburger Helper as a really special treat. In college, it was a cheap staple for my roommate and I. Now, just the thought of that processed stuff in the box now sends chills all through me. But, several years ago, I created my own version of Hamburger Helper. Remember Hamburger Helper has become of favorite of many Slender For Life™ hypnosis for weight loss clients.

Remember Hamburger Helper is an easy-to-make, versatile, healthy and delicious meal. You never have to make it the same and there are limitless ways that you can use it. Remember Hamburger Helper is this weeks featured recipe in the Slender For Life™ Recipe Library.

Remember Hamburger Helper?

Here is my version:

1 Rice Cooker full of Roger’s Brown Rice (see recipe) – or your favorite brown rice
1 can Black Beans rinsed and drained
1 can Garbanzo Beans rinsed and drained
1 can Red Beans rinsed and drained
1 – 2 handful’s of Frozen Corn
1 can Mexican Stewed Tomatoes
1 can diced Green Chiles
Red, green, yellow and orange peppers diced
Zucchini diced
1 tub fresh salsa
Black pepper, chili powder ….. (I like it spicy, but season to your taste)

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. I fill several disposable single serving freezer containers and store in both the refrigerator and freezer.

Here is how I use it: 1) This is good cold or hot just by itself. 2) It is excellent in a tortilla wrap, heated and covered with peach or mango salsa. 3) Stuff a bell pepper and bake in the oven. 4) Stuff an acorn squash and bake. 5) Pour over a baked potato. 6) Use as a filling in a Pita Pocket. The possibilities are endless!!
