Live from Chicagoland, with little time to spare, we are shamelessly helping hamburger make a great meal! This one-skillet dinner is going to mash your comfort button with both thumbs, in about a half-hour. Yes, I am so going there. My mother, like plenty of mothers, used to make Hamburger Helper.

When I was growing up, the taco kit was a suitcase. Because, despite being born in SoCal, my father's company moved us to Connecticut, where TACO'S DID NOT EXIST! So Dad would come home from business trips with a suitcase full of tortillas, and Mom would fry them up, and I would eat about a dozen.
When my boys were little they lurved KD, so I bought it for them. And I would take what was left over, chop up pickled jalpenos, grate real cheddar all over top, and throw in the oven for a few minutes. I really hate getting old and just looking at carbs adds 10 pounds.

I was really hoping for my favorite, Cheesy Ranch Burger.
Also: Plaid Egg Sandwich.
