Are any of these closer to what you’re looking for?:
Ravioli Lasagna - I usually have to bake it longer if I use frozen ravioli

Taco Pasta
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 1.25 oz taco seasoning mix
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 8 oz shell macaroni, cooked & drained
- 1 4 oz can chopped green chilies (can be left out)
- 1.5 c shredded cheddar cheese
- Brown & drain beef. Add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, green chilies. Stir in macaroni.
- Place in 9x13 pan, top with cheese. Bake 30 minutes or until heated through.
I usually skip baking it & adding cheese. I just make sure it’s heated through & let people add however much cheese they want to their bowls. You can probably cook the pasta with the rest like you do for hamburger helper - I’d add it with some broth and/or water after mixing in the seasoning/sauce/chilies.

30 minute chili (from Taste of Home: Simple & Delicious)
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 1 large onion, chopped (I just use frozen chopped onion)
- 2 cans (16 oz each) chili beans, undrained
- 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups water (I leave this out for a thicker chili)
- 1 4 oz can chopped green chilies
- 1 envelope chili seasoning mix
- 2 T sugar
- Cook pork sausage & onion. Add remaining ingredients. Boil & reduce heat.
- Simmer covered 20 minutes, stirring often.

BBQ Turkey Sandwiches
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 T finely chopped onion (I just use some onion powder)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (I usually end up using a little more)
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt
- cheese (optional)
- Brown turkey with onion. Drain.
- Stir in bbq sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt. Cook over low heat until heated through.
This was originally a recipe similar to these bbq cups, but I just eat the bbq meat mix on hamburger buns with optional slices of cheese because it’s easier.
