Off with his head! LOL

I inferred from Sheldon's comment Hamburger Helper is a time saver. I
fail to see how given the basic steps are all the same. The only
difference is the seasoning packet. I can understand your grandson may
not care about it, he just wants to eat and it's something he can cook.
I get that.

Adults who are actually interested in cooking probably do care. It
doesn't take more than a few minites longer to make a simple sauce right
there in the skillet. When push comes to shove it's the same simple meal.
