Best 6 Italian Hamburger Recipes

ZESTY ITALIAN HAMBURGER HELPER SOUP

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a Dutch oven or soup kettle, with a no-stick cooking spray.
• In the Dutch oven or kettle, add the ground beef, and season beef with a bit of black pepper. (Do not add salt to this recipe!).
• Brown the ground beef three quarters of the way, over medium heat; stirring to break up the meat.
• Add the onions, and sprinkle onions with a bit of the pepper, then add the garlic.
• Finish browning the beef and cooking the onions and garlic, this will just take a minute or two.
• In the meantime, cook the frozen green beans in a microwave, till they are about three quarters of the way done; drain beans and set them aside. (Note: I sprinkled the green beans with a bit of black pepper, before microwaving them.).
• Add the following ingredients to the kettle of cooked beef, the seasoning packet from the boxed hamburger helper, the beef broth, stewed tomatoes, the Rotel Tomatoes, zucchini, sliced baby carrots, whole kernel corn, the cooked green beans, and the Italian seasoning.
• Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and simmer the soup for 10 minutes.
• Uncover the kettle, stir the soup, and add the package of penne pasta, that's included in the box of hamburger helper.
• Bring soup to a second boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat, stir the soup, and serve.
• Note: I noticed after making this soup and using the 6.4 oz. box of Italian Lasagna Hamburger Helper (with the mini lasagna noodles in the box) verses the Zesty Italian (which adds mini penne pasta to the box), the next day when I reheated the soup, I had to add a bit more liquid, as the soup had thickened, and it had the consistency of a goulash. Since the mini lasagna noodles seem to absorb the liquid, I added more broth (a 1/2 cup) plus I added some V-8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice.

LASAGNA WITH HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Cook noodles until tender but not well done. Drain and rinse to help prevent from sticking together. Meanwhile, cook ground italian sausage in a large, deep skillet or pan until no longer pink. Rope or link style italian sausage is okay, just cut the casing off before cooking. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook untill all meat is starting to brown. Also meanwhile, combine the cheeses and parsley in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Use a large baking pan (I use a 13" wide x 18" long x 3" deep) Spread a layer of sauce across the bottom of the pan, slightly more than just enough to cover the entire surface. Place a layer of noodles on top of the sauce, overlapping the edges just a bit. Spoon some of the cheese mixture (about 1/4) on top of the noodles (in even globs). Sprinkle with 1/4 of the meat mixture. Spoon some sauce on top. Then another layer noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce -- noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce -- noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce. Then top with another layer of noodle and sauce spread evenly on top. Remember to slightly overlap the noodles in each layer. (You may have some left over noodles and sauce which is great to spread a little sauce on a noodle and roll up as a snack for an impatient child.)
• Cover tightly with foil. Cook in a preheated oven at 325 degrees on center rack for 1 hour. Let cool at least 20 minutes before cutting to help prevent the cheese from running. Serve with a side salad and garlic bread.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE HAMBURGER HELPER SOUP

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a stockpot, with a no-stick cooking spray.
• To the pot, add the sausage, and season it with a bit of black pepper, if desired. (Do not add salt to this recipe!).
• Brown the sausage over medium heat; stirring to break up the meat.
• While the sausage is browning, cook the frozen green beans in a microwave, till they are about three quarters of the way done; drain beans and set them aside. (I cooked the beans in an 850 watt microwave for 6 minutes, but stirring them after 3 minutes I also season the beans with a bit of black pepper).
• When sausage is done browning, then drain it in a colander.
• To the stockpot, lightly saute' the onions for a minute or two. (Add a bit of vegetable oil if need be).
• Add garlic to the pot, and saute' the garlic for about 1 minute.
• Place sausage back into the pot, then sprinkle the seasoning packet from the hamburger helper over all, and stir to coat the meat.
• To the pot add the following ingredients: the beef broth, one and a half soup cans of water, the stewed tomatoes, sliced baby carrots, zucchini, green beans, the Italian seasoning, and the rotini pasta that's included in the boxed hamburger helper.
• Bring soup to a boil, then lower the heat, and simmer the soup for about 14 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat, stir the soup, and serve.
• If desired, sprinkle each bowl of soup with a bit of the parmesan cheese.
• Note: I noticed after cooking the soup, the carrots seemed to be slightly crisp. For those who'd prefer them to be a bit more cooked, I would do the following after adding the cooked meat, the seasoning packet, onion, garlic, broth, water, and just the carrots to the stockpot. Bring those ingredients to a boil, then lower the heat, and simmer it for 5 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients, (the stewed tomatoes, zucchini, green beans and Italian seasoning) and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat, and simmer the soup for about 14 minutes.
