[quote=Anonymous]OP, follow the recipe exactly. Also -- I googled it -- there are a bunch of recipes online for homemade Hamburger Helper. It looks very easy. I notice the recipes include corn starch, which is a natural thickener. Maybe try adding a half teaspoon (to start) of corn starch (you can buy a box of it at any grocery store, it's not that expensive, I have a small box from Wegman's). Stir in the corn starch on low heat while it is still cooking, and let it sit for a few minutes off the burner. Try a taste. If the mix is still too runny, add a little bit more corn starch to taste. Corn starch should thicken it up. Another thickening option is tomato paste. You might add a small amount and it should thicken a bit. I use tomato paste in stove-top one-pan pastas or they come out too runny, as well. Good luck! Let us know how it goes![/quote]
