Homemade Hamburger Helper

I try really, really hard not to buy processed foods.  Sometimes, I just can't help craving Three Cheese Hamburger Helper.  Why?  Growing up we had it several times a month (if not at least once a week).  To make it healthier my mom added veggies.  Such a comfort food for me, but as an adult I cringe at all the additives so I set out to make my own from scratch!

Seriously delicious!  The hubby ate all of it that night and requested that I make it again the next night!
