It’s time to celebrate National Hamburger Month! I had the hamburger, but needed some inspiration for a quick and easy dinner to make. Before I went shopping, I checked for Ibotta rebate offers and unlocked a coupon for Hamburger Helper®. Then I headed to Walmart to see what kind of Hamburger Helper meal jumped out at me. Walmart has quite a large selection on the shelves.

The Cheesy Taco Hamburger Helper® sounded tasty to me, so I picked it up. Then I realized that a taco salad sounded like a good idea to me, too. I decided to buy a head of lettuce and use the Cheesy Taco Hamburger Helper® to make a fresh taco salad. Added bonus: The corn chips are already included in the Cheesy Taco Hamburger Helper® box. I love eating taco salad with corn chips.

It has been a long time since I have made Hamburger Helper® and I forgot just how easy it is. All I have to do is brown the ground beef, then add the seasonings and/or toppings included in the Hamburger Helper® box. We also like the Cheesy Italian Shells for a quick pasta dinner.

I noticed that on the back of the Hamburger Helper® box, there are “Add a Fresh Twist Ideas.” I used both of the suggestions for the Cheesy Taco meal, using fresh grated Cheddar and sliced jalapeno peppers as toppings. I added my own twist (remember my salad craving?) by serving the Hamburger Helper® on top of a bed of iceberg lettuce.

Our family dinner turned out very well if I do say so myself. Best of all, it was fast for me to make — about 30 minutes from start to finish.
