Instead of milk use water and cream cheese. It’s so good and thickens up really fast.

Say cheese!


Just think of the marketing meeting where they decided a severed body part would be the most appealing spokescreature for a ground-meat food product.

I agree with other tips -- drain the hamburger, cut back on the water, make a slurry, and/or let it cook uncovered a little longer.


+1! I like almond milk for my coffee and for oatmeal but wouldn't use it for Hamburger Helper or anything like that. Maybe a Stonewall Kitchen cake mix. It's likely too thin for HH.

As to the boxed stuff, try adding less water or a little corn starch slurry to thicken it.

That stuff sounds good!

Do not use more liquid then the recipe calls for. Using milk might make it "creamier" which is fine but don't use too much liquid - use a measuring cup.


*let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving

Sounds like you are adding too much liquid or not cooking high or long enough.

Are you draining the hamburger after browning? 😬
