Very much like Hamburger Helper. It had a little kick to it, so if you don't like spicy cut the chili pepper in half. I added finely chopped green pepper to it also to get more veggies into my kids! My four year old really liked it, and my 6 year old said he liked it a little. I also used brown rice and my leftover pasta sauce rather than white rice and canned tomato sauce. Pretty easy; I would make it again. :)
