Cheap homemade Hamburger Helper-style one-pan ground beef pasta, made with simple pantry ingredients and whatever else we have around the kitchen.

Tonight we’re using ground beef, onions, cilantro, pasta, a pepper, seasonings, and cheese to make an easy budget skillet dinner.

I’ll probably use cotija, but this is the kind of meal where whatever cheese you already have will work.

The idea is simple: no fancy recipe, no special ingredients, and no need for a box.

Just a filling ground beef pasta dinner made from what we already have.

I’ll show the ingredients and cost up front, cook everything together, and break down the final cost per serving once it’s plated.

If you’re looking for hamburger helper, homemade hamburger helper, ground beef pasta, budget meals, one pan dinner, cheap meals, or easy dinner ideas, this is our version.

Bigfoot Helps is mostly about fixing old cars, renovating our 1923 Texas farmhouse, and figuring out whatever else needs fixing. Every once in a while, we head into the kitchen and make something cheap and practical with what we already have.

After the live, I’ll cut the cook down into a shorter recipe video and pull a Short from the finished dish.
What should we throw into the next cheap skillet?
