Instant thumbs up!
WOW!! I am cooking it right now abd my kitchen smells like hamburger helper!!!! 😆
I stopped eating animal products Feb of this year and my boyfriend just decided a month ago to not eat animal product 5 days a week! We are both 40years old and this has been a huge life change for us. But Dillion and Reebs have been a blessing for this family because these recipes all are delicious and healthy!! I am speechless and grateful. ❤🙏🏼😊
is there a way to print the recipe.. with it having a blue background it is not printer friendly. Thoughts, or do I write it out
I’m making this tomorrow. Thanks!
I just made this.. & it’s delicious and super easy.. thanks very much for sharing your recipe ❣️
Sending kindness to you both 🙏
I scoop the tomato paste into my silicone ice cube freezer trays by tablespoonfuls and freeze it. Then I don't feel the rush to use up the whole can. Once frozen, I transfer to a pyrex container so I can pop the lid whenever I need some 😉
Am I the only person who has never had hamburger helper? The recipe sounds good but I have nothing to compare it to …
I can't wait to make this! Thanks for the recipe and video!
Looks good but do the lentils get soft when cooking with the acidic tomato products? I cook the lentils first in recipes that call for tomatoes, otherwise the lentils stay crunchy.
I am from Sweden and have never heard of hamburger helper, but this looks amazing. Everything with lentils is! I will trye this today with brown rice.
Dang, my mom made all this (hamburger helper, and the like) instant crap. I came from the time of swanson tv dinners, tupperwear, and instant everything. Thankfully I became a vegan, then a healthier and healthier vegan, which was the gateway to so many worldwide flavour combinations. SO though this is very cool for those who have fond memories of this, I don't think I would like it. It kind of terrifies me.
I made it!!! I added some hot sauce, fabulous flavor!!!!
I usually love your recipes but this was not one of them. I really didn’t eat hamburger helper as a kid, so maybe my expectations were higher.
I decided to make this on a whim! I added chopped spinach & some olives for an extra pop of flavor! It was really delicious & I bet it'll reheat very well tomorrow!
Barilla makes a line of high protein, plant based pasta. it's good, but probably not GF. I think I might smooth the sauce out with my immersion blender, esp the lentils, before adding in the pasta. Or wait, maybe use the smaller black lentils. Yum.
Get the small containers from the dollar store put the remainder of the tomato paste in one of those and freeze
Solution to leftover tomato paste: Portion out in an ice cube tray & freeze, then get out what you need later. (Good idea for lemon juice also)
Double the recipe and freeze half so you can use all the tomato paste
I added a tablespoon of Well Your World Date Powder, it cut the acid from the tomato and really kicked it up a notch I thought! I used the tomato paste in the tube though so maybe that made it more tomatoey since it says it's double concentrated. Yummy! This is really good recipe!
I’m making this now following the directions exactly. The brown lentils are taking closer to 45 minutes or longer. Not 20 per the recipe. Next time I’ll try it in the instant pot.
What would really put this over the top would be a box of the soft silken tofu (shelf stable kind like mori-nu) but it would be more caloric for sure
I use the other half of the tomato paste to make a Thousand Island Dressing
Thank you for this recipe! I am vegan but my young adult children are not. I'm going to try this on them 😁😁😁
