Grandmas Hamburger Helper Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Put ground beef in a large bowl. Add all other ingredients EXCEPT for the canned milk and water. Whip the mixture with hand mixer to blend well.
• 2. Slowly add evaporated milk, beating constantly. Add 1/4 to 1/2 water - slowly add more if mixture is too 'stiff'. ***Grandma hadn't written down the amount of water, so my amount is a 'guesstimate'. I do remember that if you make them into regular patties to put into buns they will need to be firmer than the smaller mounds.
• 3. When all of the liquid is absorbed, cover the bowl and let stand in the refrigertor for a few hours. - It can be cooked right away, but the texture improves upon standing.
• 4. Drop into small mounds (about 16) in large skillet. Brown over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through OR form into four regular patties, cooking for several minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
