Tonight I made Hamburger Helper for our dinner, but I jazzed it up a bit and it turned out so much better! So while this isn't exactly a "from scratch" recipe, it does make a very good and inexpensive dinner so I wanted to share it. Plus it is very "kid friendly." My 20 month old son could hardly get enough of it (for that matter, neither could I!). Yum!

1 box of Mexican "Crunchy Taco" Hamburger Helper (you will need milk, water, and one pound of ground beef also, detailed on back of box)
1 cup of frozen corn kernels
1 can of pinto beans (drained)
fresh cilantro leaves, finely cut up
Prepare the Hamburger Helper according to the directions on the box. During the last 10 minutes of cooking stir in the corn kernels, pinto beans, and cilantro leaves. Continue cooking until the rice is soft and it is heated through. Top with the cheese mixture and chips that came with the Hamburger Helper.
