If you’re at the point in your life where you now realize that carbs are your enemy, but you miss having hamburger helper, here’s a healthier twist. It’s a low-carb, low-cost way to make a family meal. This plate could certainly use some fresh green to brighten the plate, but let’s be honest, Hamburger Helper isn’t exactly a gourmet dish. Of course, any other these ingredients can be substituted so feel free to put your own stank on it. Although be warned, you’re substitution may not be considered low carb. At any rate, post your recipe and show it off!
