I’ve never quite understood the appeal of “Hamburger Helper”—why rely on a box mix when you can whip up something just as quick and far more flavorful yourself? All it takes is some pasta, a pound of ground beef, and a few pantry staples to create a homemade dish that’s rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Case in point: this Garlic Butter Beef Pasta. It’s a one-pot wonder that comes together in under thirty minutes—simple, right? And with its velvety, garlicky goodness, there’s just no way to replicate this kind of comfort from a box.
