This shit will raise your cholesterol like nothing else.
Try it with Ramen instead of hot dogs for even cheaper calories /s
American food is insane
I mean pasta with meat in it isn’t that weird. Other than macaroni the only other thing in the box is the powder you make the sauce with. Is that the insane part?
read the ingredients!
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.
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.
Thats why I make 2 of them.
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 😩
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.
Try with dog food!

Brilliant
T-rumps in a blanket.
“real cheese” eh? sure
Depending on your definition of “real,” they’re probably correct. It was real cheese, before it was dehydrated, powdered, and mixed with an emulsifier (probably sodium citrate) so it would reconstitute itself into a cheese sauce. I’ve become a little more sympathetic to this sort of thing since I bought of pouch a sodium citrate off the interwebs and started emulsifying things I didn’t think could be emulsified, like an entire wheel of brie.
What the hell is this? are you supposed to eat that?
I mean, I can’t digest beef, so chicken and pork hotdogs would be an alternative. Dunno how it’d taste tho lmao
I mean, hotdogs in Mac n cheese is pretty ok.
Wait, so it doesn’t come with ground beef? Is it just mac n cheese then?
Hamburger Helper has always just been the noodles and sauce packs.
It’s Hamburger HELPER, not Hamburger Offerer.
But what does it help with? It sounds like you need to provide everything hamburger-y about it
The idea is you have the hamburger already, and you get this to help it be more stuff.
It helps with stretching your budget. You can use less meat to feed your family than if you say made burgers.
its a relatively inexpensive way to make a easy, low effort, very low stress meal. No prepping, no making a sauce from scratch, no hoping you have the right seasoning, oh wait, I dont, now I’ve got to run to the store, oh but I cant because I cant leave someone home alone so fuck it I guess I’ll use some other seasoning and hope it doesnt come out fucking awful, and yep it doesnt taste great but fuck it, todays been miserable enough and if you don’t fucking like it don’t fucking eat it because i’ve dealt with enough of your bullshit today I sure as fuck aint making a second meal that we absolutely cant afford.
bitching about it not having burger in it, is like bitching about having to provide your own milk in mac n cheese, or about your own eggs and oil in a box cake mix.
Who’s bitching? Not everyone is American and that stuff doesn’t exist here, it might be obvious to you because you’ve seen it all your life but to me it’s not. It’s called hamburger helper, I would have expected hamburger to have something to do with it
“This recipe for Sausage and Pepper Penne says I need Sausage! But I don’t have sausage! This recipe is stupid.”
Not quiet, more like “This penne has a recipe on the back for sausage and pepper penne, why arent there sausage and peppers in the box?!”
That’s a way better way of putting it.
It comes in a box on the shelf. That would make done interesting hamburger.
You don’t like your raw meat sitting at room temperature for months on end?
Give yourself so much hypertension that the inevitable heart attack is so quick you won’t need to worry about paying medical bills
We did this all the time when I was a kid, my dad would make macaroni and cheese and toss in some hot dogs. It was delicious then and its delicious now.
