This recipe is similar in taste to a Hamburger Helper but so much better since it is homemade. We just call it Homemade Cheesy Noodles but you can call it whatever you like...probably delicious. :-)
Homemade Cheesy Noodles
1 lb. ground meat 6 c. egg noodles
4 c. milk 2 c. water
2 c. grated cheddar cheese 4 tsp. paprika
4 tsp. seasoning salt 2 tsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic powder
Start out by browning the meat. We used to make this with ground beef (hamburger meat) but since the price of beef has skyrocketed we now use ground pork and beef. Ground beef is about $4.50 a pound but we have found ground pork and beef for just $1.67 a pound at our local IGA store.
Once it is browned, drain and set the cooked meat aside. In a large pot, add in your water, milk and your spices and stir well. Dump in your egg noodles; stir and then add the cooked meat into the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir a few times as it cooks. Once it boils; turn the stove way down; cover the pot and simmer 8 minutes; stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the cheese and it is ready to serve.
We like to enjoy ours with homemade bread. This makes a large pot of food. If you are not big eaters or don't like left overs, cut the recipe in half. We are a family of 4 (3 of them are male) and we have 2 bowls left over for a meal the next day.
