29 Comments

Do you suffer from dinner boredom? I love trying new things, but in all honestly, I don’t have a whole lot of extra time during the week. This week though, I served up something tasty and creative. Enter Cheese and Beef Melts baked up to glorious perfection. I was more than pleasantly surprised after being challenged to make a meal with the Helper Free Ground Beef Rebate. Wait, what? Did she say free beef? I sure did! Don’t worry, I’m going to share this easy and delish recipe AND tell you how to claim your free beef! Sweet, right? Who loves you best?

In case you have guess what the surprising filling is in these quick meaty pockets, let me tell you.  It’s Hamburger Helper!  Oh yes, it is! (Didn’t even think this was a.) a possibility and b.) that it would actually taste awesome.) I used the Hamburger Helper™ cheeseburger macaroni and some extra cheddar cheese to take these over the top. A little extra gooey cheese brings these right on home.  Let’s get to the how to make em’ now. Then, I’ll tell you how to claim your FREE BEEF.

  1. My fiance just printed the LUZIANNE POUR-N-STIR tea concentrate. She used coupons earlier to get a bunch of stuff at Rite-Aid including a blow dryer and a beard/moustache trimmer and makeup for about $3 and will get about $20 back in rebates. :-)

  2. I'd most like to print the coupon for the Philadelphia cream cheese. (I commented this but I am not sure if it registered or not.)

  4. I've already printed the coupon for the beef but I also want the coupon for the Kraft string cheese. It makes such a great snack.

  5. I would probably print the Truvia coupon since my fiance likes that for coffee. She is the couponer in our house, so I just let her print what she wants and she saves us a huge amount of money each month.
