Hamburger Helper

I diced up Jimmy Dean smoked hickory bacon and crisper it in a pan with some black pepper. I took it out and drained most of the grease before I started to cook the ground 80/20 ground beef. I added more black pepper to the beef, as well as a little garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Then I drained the grease again. Then I added the noodles and sauce while I heated up the vegetables in a separate pot. Once the noodles were cooked, I added everything to the main pan and mixed. It came out great. My girlfriend just finished her second plate. Next time I might use 2 boxes of noodles and I'm definitely going to add more cheese!
