Helping Hamburger

One of my favorite boxed meals is hamburger helper.  So, one day, when it came to reworking a bunch of leftovers, I decided to see what I could do that would work.  I started out with some ground beef, and cooked and drained it.  Next I added some mushrooms.

 

Next I added a 1/3 bag of egg noodles, a half cup of milk, and a half can of cream of mushroom soup and a cup of water.

 

 I turned the heat to medium/high, in order for the dish to boil, while stirring occasionally.  When the noodles were cooked, I added peas, and turned the heat down, allowing the sauce to thicken.

 

The result was a delicious meal, that had the taste of my favorite boxed dinner!
