Hamburger helper is bullshit. They give you some dry noodles and a "spice" pack of dubious powder, you have to provide the beef and milk. That's not helping very much.

    I remember in college they had an "instant" hamburger helper where you just added water and it had dehydrated bits of hamburger in it. It probably wasn't actually hamburger... Probably for the best to add the meat yourself.

    for real, and it's not even enough noodles. So you end up adding more noodles too... at that point you're paying for a box with some "spice" in it.

    For me, it's just too salty.

    Grab some mac n cheese and put some hotdogs in it. If you are wealthy*, you can add ground beef instead and toss in some green chilies and some Italian seasoning. (It's really good. Go ham on the seasoning.)

    • ground beef is freaking expensive nowadays 😩

    "hamburger" or "hamburger meat" is what many people in the US call ground beef. Just as in other places they might call it "mince."

    The product proposes to help make one pound of hamburger meat fill a family of 4. It's not as nourishing or effective as adding a bunch of vegetables and spices but it's shelf-stable and quickly prepared.
