Pretty much anything is better than Hamburger Helper. My mother
occasionally added ground beef to mac & cheese to "stretch it".
Sometimes she'd add cubed kielbasa. It was a main dish meal in our house.

Isn't that the point?

the only HH I ever used was the Potato Stroganoff. I got it for when
we were camping for a couple of weeks.

What are these 'Helpers' made from, or should I say, what do they contain?

bad stuff, you supply the meat, usually ground beef. Seasonings,
pasta or potatoes, and the meat (special Helpers for tuna and chicken)
you have chosen. Thus, Hamburger Helper, i.e., helping your hamburger
meat become something.

Always happy to help. I don't know what your go-to Hamburger Helper
Delight is, so I just picked one.

Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Italian Cheesy Beef:
"enriched pasta (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin
mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), corn starch, salt, enriched
flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin,
folic add), whey, monosodium glutamate, sugar, ricotta cheese (whey,
milkfat, lactic acid, salt), natural flavor, citric acid, yeast
extract, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, monoglycerides, basil,
paprika, oregano, spice, color (artificial color, yellows 5 & 6 lake,
yellows 5 & 6), silicon dioxide (anticaking agent), onion, parmesan
cheese (milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), whey protein
concentrate, fennel seed, romano cheese (made from cow or goat of
sheep's milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes), sodium phosphate"

I can't wait! I especially look forward to yellows 5 & 6, because, as
we all know, we eat with our eyes!

You only eat home made stuff and you're just as opposed to bad
ingredients as me. You just don't choose to inform the sheeple. I have
that calling.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Hamburger Helper. If you like it,
why not? Not all varieties are good but some are. Wish I remember
the kind but I tried using a pound of ground sausage instead of
beef and a couple of them were way better.

Not all good meals need to be cooked from scratch. Many are a
good starting point to then enhance.

With an atrocious concoction by the food industry? You call that
"enhance", I call it "*******ise".

You might it a "kit". All things provided except the meat, water,
(sometimes milk). I rarely use them, but when I do I usualy serve a
green vegetable with them.

A kit of flavouring? If you have the meat, what more do you need to make
hamburger?

It's a casserole kit. They provide starch and flavoring. Hamburger Helper is one of those convenience foods designed
to make the consumer think they're cooking without actually
having to make decisions (apart from which box to buy) or
spend much time or effort. Like a box cake mix.

Some form of starch. Either potatoes, pasta or rice. All horrible because
they are designed to cook quickly in a skillet. Also a ton of chemicals and
salt. My mom was enamored with them. Ick.

They make what is akin to a casserole except done in a skillet and not in
the oven. A one pot meal.

It's a casserole kit. They provide starch and flavoring. Hamburger Helper
is one of those convenience foods designed
to make the consumer think they're cooking without actually
having to make decisions (apart from which box to buy) or
spend much time or effort. Like a box cake mix.

Ahh thanks very much for that explanation!

Starch and flavouring, eh?

I suppose it is helpful to some folk!

Trust me, it may not be haute cuisine, but it is solid family table fare.

Only sheeple in the process of breeding more sheeple would eat that

Usually noodles of some kind with a packet of powdered seasoning mix to
make a sauce. You add ground beef. Brown it, drain it, put it back in
the pan then add the stuff from the box with water or milk (varies
depending on the "kit") and simmer it on the stove until the noodles are
tender and the sauce is thickened.

by starch she means either potato, pasta or rice, plus seasonings.
Most of the ingredients are dehydrated, therefore you cook the meat in
the pan, add the boxed ingredients and then add the prescribed milk or
water, cook covered for the length of time indicated. Food Snobs
adore them because they are so easy to take a shot at.

your own narcissism and bile.
