Sweet & Spicy Ginger Hamburger Helper

I've been so excited to try this recipe out. I probably found it about a month ago but i either would forget about it or wouldnt have ground beef. FINALLY I remembered about it so i made sure I had everything for it. I thought this also would make a great night before a race dinner. This recipe is super easy & fast and very flavorful. :) definitely want to make it again!! I served this over my quinoa concoction that I came up with as I was waiting for the meat to brown.
