Goldkeys Recipes	Homemade Hamburger Helper	Share
Description:	When I first moved in on my own, Hamburger Helper was a staple. It was a quick and easy recipe and I enjoyed it – however unsophisticated the boxed meal might be. Eventually I moved on to real cooking and left it behind. Still, I remembered it fondly and decided to find a recipe to make a version from scratch. Here it is.

	1	Chop Onion into 1/2" pieces. Mince Garlic. Chop Bacon. Shred Cheddar Cheese.
	2	Heat a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, heat Canola Oil and add Onion. Season lightly with Kosher Salt,Black Pepper.
	3	Cook until the Onion turns light beige in color and begin to caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes.
	4	Add Garlic and cook until fragrant and starting to brown ever so slightly, about 2 minutes.
	5	Increase heat to medium-high and add Ground Turkey and Bacon. Use spatula to break up the meat into smaller pieces. Continue to cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the meat starts to sear and develop a crust on the bottom of the pan,12 to 15 minutes.
	6	Carefully drain off most of the fat, leaving a little in the pan to keep the meat moist.
	7	Add White Wine. Reduce until the mixture is almost dry, about 10 minutes.
	8	Add the Chicken Stock,Heavy Cream,Redhot Ceyenna Pepper Sauce,Smoked Paprika,Bay Leaf to the pan. Mix until combined and bring to a boil over medium-high.
	9	Once the mixture is boiling, add the Elbow Pasta and cook until al dente, stirring often, about 9 minutes.
	10	Reduce the heat to low and add Cheddar Cheese,American Cheese, stirring until completely melted and sauce is thickened.
	11	Remove the pan from heat, stir in Fresh Chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
