Hamburger Helper Budget Stretch
Is one box of Hamburger Helper not enough for your family? It's not enough for my family of boys so I created this easy 'stretch' in order to double the servings. My family likes the Salisbury flavor so that's what this recipe is based upon - but it'd go well with other flavors, too.

DIRECTIONS
- Follow the cooking directions on the Hamburger Helper box, using the enclosed seasonings and noodles and adding my list of ingredients (except sour cream); be sure to use the amount of water I've listed and not the amount listed on the box; you can sauté the onions with the hamburger if you'd like.
- Mix in sour cream just before serving.
- *You could substitute any thin or small noodles you have in the pantry and use corn or other veggies in place of the carrots.
- *We aren't salt lovers, if you are - double the salt.
