I love hamburger helper.
When I was a poor young Batchelor, hardly able to scrape up enough money for beer, I would fry a pound of ground beef, and dump in a can of mushroom soup, and stir it around until it was all hot.
Sometimes I'd eat it on toast, some times I'd eat it on it's own.
I figured hamburger helper was a frivolous extra expense.

Hamburger Helper Potato Stroganoff, my fav. Can't ever seem to find it around the stores I shop, other flavors are ok but this is the one I remember eating a lot of at home growing up. Mom always used moose burger.
We also ate hotdogs and burgers with white bread lol

We actually have that couple of times a month at our place! Except we brown the hamburger in the pan first. Really yummy.

Yep same thing here. Mix it in with rice or pasta. Sometimes do the same with store bought meat balls as well.
Or brown up some hamburger and mix in with mac and cheese.
Fast meals when in a hurry or just to lazy to cook.

Meals came and the vegetable on everyone's plate was corn. My parents were shocked and looked at the corn with confusion. My dad said "they are feeding us like pigs" - how can they put a steak (the very best food) on the same plate a something (in Europe at least) that is not for for human consumption (and used almost exclusively to feed livestock).
Still laugh about it to this day.

Ha I was wondering when a Aussie was going to get on the old Vegemite vs. Marmite arguement lol. Far as l'm concerned both are equally barf worthy.

Used to have a desert that was whipped and chilled cream of wheat porridge made with garden raspberry juice served in a bowl with milk poured over it if wanted. Thinking about it might have to make it always did like it
