HAMBURGER HELPER MIX
Comfort food in a jar is what F calls this. It was a rather chilly rainy time in the camper. We had to fire up the heater to take all the humidity from the air it was so damp. The day was spent mostly indoors….that day I made my Soldier Cookies, remember?
Well, I had a little two-cup jar of Hamburger Helper mix that I made up a while ago just for such an occasion. Within minutes we had dinner on the table with very little effort.
That’s it! That’s all! Nothing fancy. Just pure comfort.
Thanks for stopping by for our one way chat my Galley Friends. Come back soon because a local follower and personal friend share a recipe with me that is the absolute perfect one for summer, grilling and picnics. I had the chance to try hers recently first hand so am making it this week for us…and you all of course.
….peace and love…
