Gluten Free Hamburger Helper

[momto4]

Hello All, I wanted to post this as it is scrummy. It is like a Humburger Helper (only better) it is Gluten Free and comes in different flavors. You can get it at the Gluten Free Mall and it is Mrs Leepers. Have tried them all and they are all good. My kids likes it with ground Turkey too. Not my DH though! He is suck a fuss bag about food. I should turn him veggy really.

Hi Mom,

I have not tried Mrs Leepers yet. I have been told by others that it is good. Hamburger Helper was one of my favorite quick meals pre-GF (call me strange...).

What we have done for a replacement is use Lundburg Organic Rice Mixes and add hamburger. It works for me.

Which boulion do you use that is GF? Or actually it said granulated. Do just the cubes have gluten? I never checked the granuels.
