Current Events > Anyone else really like Hamburg Helper

(+) Yeah! (+)

It could be that I am getting older and longing for my childhood. But I use to love that stuff. Stop eating it when I stop eating mammal meat. And I cant remember what kind I used to eat. So if ever did want to try it with some sad turkey meat I could not lol

I have nostalgic memories for it, but I haven't eaten it in years and have no plans to.

It's okay but you can also usually make much better versions of the different recipes for about the same price if you put a little effort into it

Hell yeah

I like Cheeseburger, and Cheddar Melt.

I remember Cheeseburger being better in the 90s. A number of recipes have changed over time.

Beef Romanoff was great, but I think they discontinued it...

I used to, but my idiot son put it in where the Nestle Quik mix is supposed to go. Needless to say, I poured it into my milk without realizing it until it was too late. Now I can't stand it anymore.

Tuna Helper was the shit

Yeah it just puts me into a food coma

I'll get it about once a month. It's not as good as back then but still decent.

That plus it makes so much less than it used to

I love the Cheeseburger Macaroni. It doesn't love me for sure, but sometimes you want what you want, consequences be damned.

Probably havent had it in over 20 years. I liked it. Not sure that Ill ever have it again, though.

Stroganoff and Lasagna are the only ones I eat and always use penne or rotini noodles instead of the ones that come with it.

I prefer Berlin Buddy, personally. Frankfurt Friend too, if the craving hits.

I survived through college on that stuff, it still hits, hamburger helper + one can of tuna goddayum gurl

Really liked both HH & Tuna Helper. Especially as a kid. Haven't had it ina long while but I'd be down for a plate or two.

I still eat it, albeit with half as much meat (premade meatballs instead of browned burger) and about 1.25x as much pasta.

Pretty much this. You realize it's just noodles, meat and sauce.
IDK if TC can have tuna, but it's a great way to shake up hamburger helper.

It's been a while, but I'll get a hamburger helper every now and again, usually the store brand stroganoff or cheeseburger.

It's not bad paying the convenience of it all together in a box.

Just ate some the other week, still good asf....

It's still incredible.
I love the Lasagna one.

A trick to make it taste better: Put a bit more hamburger in than it says on the box, it'll make it thicker and taste better overall.

Beef Stroganoff for daysssss

Yeah that's also good
I used to like their cheeseburger macaroni but nowadays the noodles are too thick, kinda gross.

I add in extra milk and cheese too!

They got rid of Rice Oriental which was by far my favorite so I don't eat it much anymore.

I can't imagine how rough that was.

... You sure they didn't just, uh, change the name?

Yeah, when the kids stay with us, I make it sometimes and it's pretty good.

Yup. Always preferred the rice ones, was like tacos and enchiladas or something and then there is one with hashbrowns too.

Yep. This happened awhile ago and no one knows why. No announcement or anything they just stopped making it. It was so good.

I don't buy boxed meals and tend to make stuff from scratch but I would make a dish that was very much like Hamburger Helper.

I would make macaroni and cheese and then turn hamburger into seasoned taco meat and then combine that with the mac and cheese.

Then I would usually make some garlic bread to go with it and it was pretty good.

I used to eat Hamburger Helper Crunchy Taco every other day.
