Recipe Makeover!!

This week, I found an awesome recipe. I used to LOVE Hamburger Helper but of course, it is far from healthy and contains so many additives and preservatives that I just haven't been able to even have it as a treat.  But I was searching Pinterest and found a homemade and somewhat healthy alternative to it. 

Here is the recipe, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!
