Hamburger Helper Budget Stretch

• 1 (6 1/4 ounce) box Hamburger Helper mix for beef pasta, use the enclosed seasoning package and noodles
• 1 lb hamburger
• 5 1/2 cups water
• 3 cups fancy cut dry noodles
• 1/3 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced carrots, un-drained
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream

1. Follow the cooking directions on the Hamburger Helper box, using the enclosed seasonings and noodles and adding my list of ingredients (except sour cream); be sure to use the amount of water I've listed and not the amount listed on the box; you can saute the onions with the hamburger if you'd like.
2. Mix in sour cream just before serving.
3. *You could substitute any thin or small noodles you have in the pantry and use corn or other veggies in place of the carrots.
4. *We aren't salt lovers, if you are - double the salt.
