- Weird History Food is serving you up some delicious nostalgia with the history of Hamburger Helper. If you remember this creepy little mascot finger-tipping across your TV set, you'll remember Hamburger Helper was a way cash-strapped American families looked for ways to stretch their meals further than ever before. Let's take a look back at this classic boxed food product.

My single Mom swore by Hamburger Helper! It was one of the first things she taught my brother and I to make. Find memories of both the time and food. My brother and I are in our late 40s and still see it as a comfort food. ❤
Same with my brother and I. Definitely always been a comfort food.
80's-90's Kid's!! I am One and the Same!! That, Campbell's soup, and Lunchables! 😂😂
80's kid here -- I am shocked Tuna Helper barely got a mention. Canned tuna used to be super cheap, had that plenty as well.
@@clint4951 There was plenty of canned tuna in my house too...along with loaves of store-brand 'wonder' bread and Cain's mayo (anyone who grew up in New England knows Cain's, "the good stuff.")
I feel like it doesn't taste as good as they used to. Such a shame.
I grew up poor in the 1980s, and this was a common staple in our family. I don’t think I’ve eaten hamburger helper for decades, but it still has some nostalgia associated with it for me. Thanks for the video!
Couple times a year I still make it for old times sake.
No one gives a shit about you being poor. No one cares today, no one will care tomorrow either or ever.
I actually like Hamburger Helper. It was something different from the standard stuff I ate growing up. Grew up eating lot of Asian food and sometimes you want something different.
HH was kind of the Ramen of its time!
Is this still available in stores? I'm a 70's kid.
A Weird History Food video on those “prosecutable” recipes of the 60s would be, like, the BEST thing ever!
I second this.
It's super interesting how the post ww2 economy transitioned into forcing pre packaged and processed foods out to americans. There was a huge push to canned and packaged goods because you had all of these factories that were producing goods for the war effort suddenly run out of contract. Banana Pie, one of my favorite desserts, is basically a made up thing to sell nabisco crackers.
A lot of it was aimed at giving housewives more free time as well. You can put everything in a jello mold, still go to your bridge club, and family will have a dinner.
@@toastedt140 The UK (and europe in general) also had this issue, in part due to the destabilized infrastructure. But because they had less money due to that, the concoctions are decidedly more... sad looking. That's where "beans on toast" and "toast hawaii" as british and german things, respectively, came from.
Agreed 😂
@@toastedt140Oh yes I loved Banana Pie! But like Twinkies, you could put one on a plate and leave it there for 100 years, and it would still probably be there intact, because even mold knows it's not food.😂
Weird History actually managed to associate Bruce Campbell and Hamburger Helper, they truly are doing the Lord's work
Hail to the King, Baby! 😆
The glove should be sainted. 😆
And a clip from the movie Kung Pow lol
@chrisbuchaniec3765 Groovy!
Shop Smart S-Mart
I'm 81, and was completly surprised that the Helper didn't come out until the 70s. I thought it was much older than that. But, now that I think about it, I never had it as a kid. Its been a long time since I've eaten it, and I'm not sure why. It was pretty good, and easy to make. May have to try it again.
Im genuinely surprised someone in their 80s watches RUclips, let alone leave comments. Kudos to you sir my grandfathers would never have the ability
@@richborn6700 Thank you for for your kind remarks.
Back in 1981 or so, punk icons Dead Kennedys did a song called 'Dear Abby' which featured the line 'just mix with my tuna helper and ta-daa!' Being in the UK I had no idea what a tuna helper was, so cheers for finally solving my mystery! I haven't covered what the song was about as this is a family channel, but if you know, you know.
Always loved Hamburger Helper night as a kid. Once every blue moon, I get a horrible craving for that cheeseburger macaroni.
You can't beat Hamburger Helper when it's on sale for $1.
Even if you just make it for just yourself, the leftovers are good for another meal.
Hamburger Helper is never good
It is when you haven't had it for a while, and you try a new flavor.
@@jer103 not at all. It has always been gross
@@alexwilliams5799 Maybe you haven't had one you would like yet. There are 40 different flavors now.
@@jer103 nope. Every Hamburger Helper was gross. I wouldn't eat dinner when my dad would make it. I am vegan now. That and Kraft macaroni and cheese were the two dinners I dreaded the most as a kid
As a 2002 kid, I used to have this sometimes when my mother couldn't cook. Definitely heavenly, at least in my opinion. My father was definitely a huge fan of it.
I went through college on that. I couldn't have survived without HH since it did what it was supposed to: fill you up without draining your wallet.
Two AGGRAVATING things about modern Helper:
1) They used to require only water, most of them now require water AND milk. I assume they used to incorporate powdered milk in the sauce packet. This makes them less convenient AND more expensive, and
2) They stopped bagging the carbs (noodles, rice, whatever) and put them straight in the box, making them more susceptible to water or dampness ruining them, spoilage in general, or vermin. Even my local Piggly Wiggly store brand CHEAPER knock-off dinners package the carbs/starches in plastic.
A great Helper tip: most flavors are amenable to the addition of diced canned tomatoes, plain/chili/Italian style. Just cut down the water a bit. Really adds something, especially to the Italian and Mexican inspired flavors. I also like to add mushrooms and/or black olives to the Italian type varieties. 😋😋😋
the milk was optional it made the cheese thicker and more kraft like, and for the bag part they used to do a bag also but stopped when they started giving us more pasta per box
Can confirm, you don’t NEED milk, just gives it better texture. I’ve done with milk/water, water only, and more milk than water. I’d rather have more milk to water ratio, than what it says on the box. If you don’t have milk, just use less water than the box calls for, or add in any thickeners you may have on hand like flour or more cheese if you have spare cheese
@dylanbinkley266 Corn starch (or any starch really) is probably better than using flour, since flour has a distinct taste to it that has to be cooked off, which takes at least 10 minutes
Hamburger helper was one of the only things our mom ever cooked. Almost all of our meals were pizza rolls and chicken nuggets, but hamburger helper night (once every two weeks or so) was always a good night.
You poor child...
How many tons do you weigh?
This was a staple dinner in my house as a kid I always loved it. I need to revisit it.
I would have sworn and be damned that tuna helper was the product of the 80’s health food craze. Also what I find funny is that all of these convenience foods are associated with being poor or stretching a dollar. When I was a kid I wanted to eat this because my family thought it cost too much. I was mad because we are pork chops for breakfast, and homemade spaghetti sauce 😂😂😂
Edit: Haggis is the OG helper.
So I'm not the only one that grew up being told that Hamburger Helper was too expensive! Dad always made his own..
I'm not sure if haggis is helping the hamburger there.
I assume you're not American? Most American convenience foods are dirt cheap in the US but are ridiculously expensive everywhere else.
@@thepusherwomanyea
@@thepusherwoman You assume wrong. I am super Dee duper American. I grew up in the south eating soul food. I’ve come to learn that if a person knows how to cook, they don’t need convenience food. One can be much more creative with their dollar.
Definitely ate my fair share of Hamburger Helper growing up! My family's favorite was always the cheesy hashbrown flavor, but it seems that flavor is either hard to come by or just plain discontinued now. One of my other favorite easy meal kit brands growing up was Chef Boyardee! I remember them having a pizza kit that had an extremely fluffy biscuit-like crust and didn't really taste like normal pizza and some sort of ravioli bake/skillet, and my sister and I loved them. Pretty sure those have gone the way of the dinosaur now too.
There is a Pizza Maker box for Chef Boyardee, my mother and I made it the other day. It was really good!
@@btetschner I'll have to see if I can hunt one down and give it a try! It's probably changed a lot since I was a kid
Cheesey hash browns is my all-time favorite!
My absolute favorite too! I’ve only found it at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati Ohio!
The other dinner staple from childhood that goes hand in hand, pun intended, is the LaChoy lineup. With the two cans and the hard as rock noodles, you knew dinner tonight was going to be special.
That would be a great Weird History Food video!
The Lachoy was the only "Chinese food" my mom would eat
LaChoy... oh god. The taste and crunch of water chestnuts alongside soggy canned sprouts has come back to haunt me once again!
I DESPISED La Choy when I was a kid. So much so that I didn’t want to try Chinese food from a restaurant for a long time. I was pleasantly surprised to find that type of Chinese food didn’t taste like soggy metallic bean sprouts!
@@stanggirl70 same here. I thought all Chinese food was going to taste like that crap and thank goodness it didn’t!
Coming home in the late 90s to the smell of hamburger helper simmering mmmm brings back memories
I grew up on Hamburger Helper, but the couple times I've tried to make it for my own family, I was the only one willing to eat it. Every now and then, though, I do get a nostalgic craving.
Same. My fiancé won’t eat it, but a few of times a year I’ll still make it for lunch lol.
I think my mom made it once, but nobody liked it.
Any particular reason why? It’s basically just macaroni and cheese with hamburger in it, is that really something only you can stomach?
@@SquadPoop My guess would be the seasoning.
Growing up, we mostly ate meals cooked from scratch - a lot of stews. My mom taught us all how to make these. Hamburger and Tuna Helper was a treat. The stroganoff and lasagna flavors were favorites. When I moved out on my own I cooked the Helper beef lasagna, the tuna tetrazini and an odd but delicious tuna pot pie. Though I still cooked a lot from scratch. Today I mostly cook from scratch, but I do appreciate how convenient and tasty the Helper meals could be.
How could you leave out the meatloaf one?!?! It even came with its own pan to bake it in! Truely an innovation in the 80's. I miss that one so much.
Damn, I didn't even know that existed. I was just a little kid in the 1980s (the GREATEST decade, I don't care who disagrees) so I must have missed that one or it wasn't very popular on the shelves at the local Albertsons. I did love their beef stroganoff. That was heavenly.
This stuff got us through the great recession. To this day my husband will ask "what helper are we having tonight?"😂 I'm not a chef or even a cook. HH saved our butts more than once.
My favorite was the Lasagna for the regular Hamburger Helper. But my favorites were the Tuna Helper line of dinners. Why? Because you didn't need to brown the ground beef, just open up and add two cans of tuna, skipping the whole messy step of cooking the beef then draining off the grease.
Never drained it. Just put the meat on the skillet w/o any additional oil. Wait 7 mins and it is done. There is some natural fat but it is eatable and tasty. What was the point to drain it? To lower the calories?
@@NormanFoxLee probably so it won't be runny
Loved it as a kid. Still love it.
As an incredibly lazy person who loves beefy pasta food byproducts, I love it. And the sodium isn't even that bad, I just checked the box in my cupboard.
It’s the perfect “don’t worry about it” meal. Just fry some hamburger, throw in everything from the box with some milk and water, then stare at it for 30 minutes until it’s done. Simple.
Yea, as long as you're not eating it everyday. The sodium really shouldn't be a problem
At least 45% of all meals I ate as a kid were probably the beef stroganoff hamburger helper. My parents aren't exactly cooks so hamburger helper made it a lot easier for them to make meals that weren't horribly bland. Although, it was a big reason why I started to teach myself to cook food for myself.
My favorite Hamburger Helper is Potato Stroganoff.
My Mom was a working college student. When she broke out a box of HH, I knew it was gonna be a good dinner time.
I've loved Hamburger Helper since i was a kid. Thanks for doing a video on its history. :)
Awesome intro!
Latchkey Kids deserve their own cuisine, they earned it.
That cheeseburger macaroni with a little bit of tiger sauce (sweet chili like sauce) is just amazing
Does anyone else remember the Tuna Helper Tuna Pot Pie? Me and my whole family loved them. I don't know why they discontinued them. They could take unappetizing tasting tuna, and make it into the tastiest buttery, flaky pot pie. I miss it so much, and still get cravings for it sometimes. I wish they would bring it back. 😢
I remember the hamburger helper. What about rice Rice-A-Roni. And also Shake and Bake and Ortega taco mix.They were all powdered flavors we added to common plain foods back in the 70s and 80s.
“It’s Shake and Bake, and I helped!”
You are so right! Another one was Lawry's ... Lawry's seasonings were everywhere as well (they still are). I remember going to a Lawry's restaurant in LA when I was young, and my Mom threw that taco mix into hamburger and we thought it was the best dinner ever.
here in europe we had aromat
odlschool but it' was still pretty good all purpose seasoning stuff, actually does good on steak too if you add some black pepper
but they turned it into garbage now, it's barely more than overpriced yellow colored salt these days,
so i'm back to the old style stock cubes, they were good enough for my grandmother
In related thoughts, how about an episode on the casserole? That's comfort food for many of us American GenX'ers!
Nope. Tuna casserole is a capital offence.
Yes!
@@markwilliams2620Tuna casserole killed my entire family.
Everyone needs a helper around the kitchen.
For the names of the hamburger alternatives, they should have gone with “Tuna Tutor”, “Fruit Facilitator” “Chicken Collaborator”, and “Pork Partner”
All about that alliteration, baby 😂
Love Hamburger Helper! My favorute kind is Cheeseburger macaroni. I add a packet of taco seasoning to it to make it into chili mac and cheese.
Hamburger and tuna helper are my go to quick cook meals for when I’m tired from work
So easy
Ugh! I remember eating Hamburger Helper and Riceroni so much as a kid because we were low-income -.- almost every weeknight a box of it was made. I now have an aversion to it.
I empathize wholeheartedly.
"I used to be a latchkey kid, but I still am too"
-Mitch Hedberg, maybe.
I still love their stroganoff, nostalgia for sure
I had a boyfriend in high school who's mom wasn't the best cook. My mom on the other hand was somewhat of an almond mom. We never had soda in the house, cheerios and corn flakes were the only cereals and she never made dinner from a box. So it was at his house that I had Hamburger Helper for the first time and LOVED it! I still love the single cups you pop in the microwave. Long live Hamburger Helper!!
"Almond mom" is an amazing phrase, and I'm stealing it.
@@Thrillhou lol its a whole genre of mom! Give it a google
I ate it as a kid growing up poor, and I eat it still now with a family of my own. We aren't poor, but hey its quick, easy, and enjoyable. I do take liberties when cooking it now though, like seasoning the meat while I'm browning it, etc, but its still on regular rotation in my house.
I remember so many of these. Tuna helper worked with chicken just as well and you could take the underlying idea to make so many casseroles. We werent poor poor, but my grandma survived the depression and she was in charge of the kitchen, so it was a cheap kitchen. A helper style skillet or casserole, and pillsbury biscuits was 4 nights a week. She made scratch stuff the other 3, usually an awesome pizza, a grill night, and taco night. But the casseroles were the best.
Loved the microwave singles when I was a kid. Also the killer shark eyes comment was hilarious 😂
I grew up eating Hamburger/Tuna Helper, and it's still one of my favorite foods
I always loved Hamburger Helper and still do at 67-years-old. I never realized how many flavors they have or had. I looked for tuner helper in my local IGA and they didn't have it. I keep forgetting to look in the bigger supermarkets. It's back on my radar now
I haven't seen Tuna Helper in a long time either, but I have noticed that a lot of the boxes suggest swapping out tuna for chicken (like the tetrazinni or alfredo)
@@TheWolfeDen That sounds good. It's defiantly on my radar now.
Is HH the best thing in the world for you? probably not. Do I care? probably not.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s It was the Rice Oriental Hamburger Helper I was introduced to and learned how to make. It no longer exists. Finding myself craving this comfort food from the past, i am reduced to looking for knock-off version recipes of it. I wish it would be brought back.
Hamburger, help me.
Thank you. I just laughed out loud 👋😂
i started cooking dinner for my family of 5 when i was 8 years old and i started out cooking hamburger helper. for cheese lasagna, cheesey shells and stroganof are still nostalgic favorites despite having not had them in years. the way the meal is made also worked in my favor as if you didnt cook the noodles and sauce with the meat i doubt my first attempts at cooking ground beef would have been safe to eat.
for the record i started cooking by choice and as only my dad was home my first dinner i made i did as a suprise, i was a kid ok? it wasnt to bright at the time but as life got better for my family i got better at cooking other stuff and making fresh food. it all began with that little box though.
Oh snap, always cool seeing an HEB product show up. I grew up on these skillet dinners, I still keep them on hand in case of emergency.
I loved the Hamberger Helper stroganoff. I haven't had it in years and just added a box to my grocery list.
Back when I ate this type of food, the Crunchy Taco was probably my favorite.. I did prefer the Velveeta dinners, but HH generally was less expensive and had a bigger variety of flavors
@@michaelmurdock4607 my man
My mom made Hamburger Helper quite often in the 1980's. I loved it! I still make meals to this day with ground beef that are similar to Hamburger Helper.
I still listen to feed the streets ... its' great!
Thank you so much for making a video about Hamburger Helper, it makes everything about it more meaningful.
Hamburger Helper helped me learn how to cook as a lock and key child.
Hamburger Helper, on its own just made by the boxes directions is OK. But it only takes a few extra ingredients and a little more time to make it really really good. Example: the tomato basil penne recipe. Make it by the box but add some diced tomatoes, use Italian sausage instead of beef, add some onion and garlic and when it's done, top it with some actual fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese. Is it restaurant quality? Of course not, but is it quite a few steps above just making it plain? Absolutely.
Also, Watch The Glove was fire. I know it was released on April Fools as a joke but it was actually a great album.
The history of Nashvile Hot Chicken would be interesting that or Red Drink and Soul Food in general.
Some of those flavors absolutely slapped and y’all know you can’t say otherwise
I had forgotten about these, I went and bought them again.
@4:38 - Awesome description, love it!
I love hamburger helper it got me thru tough times 😊
I love Hamburger Helper. So simple yet so satisfying. Especially when your stomach feels like its touching your back.
Loved Hamburger Helper when I was a kid. As an adult now and vegetarian I make it with Impossible ground and eat off it for a few days.
I watch all of your episodes and I gotta say, this is a top 5 for sure.
Their Hamburger Helper Meatloaf was the best! My family also liked the pizza bake and taco bake. Of course, they don't make those varieties anymore.
@0:54 - That image is a gem!
They had the craziest gelatin creations.
Apparently aspic is still taught at culinary schools
Chefs still measure their peers worth with omelets not aspic, tho
@@Mordecrox Aspic, very interesting!
ngl those hamberger helper songs are fire
Thanks for the video, I've eaten Hamburger Helper since I was a kid, I still eat it once every two months. Beef Pasta for the win!
@5:38 - The original Evil Dead Trilogy (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness) is THE BOMB!
I have probably watched each one of those 10 times.
At my college (Doane University), the theater department presented Evil Dead: The Musical.
My dad and I used to indulge in Hamburger Helper when my mom went out of town. It was our special dinner because mom was a bit of a health nut. He always asked me if I wanted him to make "gray flavor" or "brown flavor", which I found hilarious even as a little kid. I think that gray was stroganoff and brown was taco, but I'm not 100% sure.
We used to get HH once a week as a kid as a treat! When I first got married, HH was the only thing I knew how to cook. Luckily over the years, I have become a much better cook. I freaking love this stuff. I don't eat it anymore because I can cook and I don't want to get a years worth of sodium in one serving. But I still love this stuff.
I was born in 85 and hamburgers helper was always in our pantry. It was easy and delicious. Since leaving home I haven't had it since
Although my mother is/was a fine cook (she is in a care home now and no longer can cook), she did work for a good part of my growing up years. Sometimes there was no time to spend cooking if we wanted dinner before 8PM! So when Hamburger Helper showed up on the grocery store shelf in 1971 (we were on the West Coast), Mom tried it out and it was a hit. Even my picky brother would eat it. Mom would put the skillet on, make a salad while it cooked, and dinner was served in plenty of time to still watch prime time TV before bedtime.
Over 50 years later I still buy Hamburger Helper on occasion; hubby never turns it down. But hamburger sure isn't cheap anymore! So pork and chicken are "helped" as well.
As a busy independent adult, I still buy Hamburger Helper from time to time!
I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does just fine by itself.
Those hand puns and lines were inserted so masterfully and smoothly that they just hit me about four hours later.
I grew up with this stuff. It was good. Easy to make. Didn’t know it had such a history behind it. Going in some strange directions!
Thanx a lot, now I'm fina bumbpin this mixtape 😂 straight fire bro🤣
Beef Pasta and a couple of slices of bread. All we had when times were tough.
man, marachaun ramen, hamburger helper and chef boyardee are the 🐐’s of childhood meals
This was good. I've been eating it for years and didn't know all that.
Ill be completely honest, the gloved hand gives me goosebumps. If there was ever a time to use a disembodied hand with teeth that speaks as a mascot for a food product itd be back in the early 1900s
… and also missing a finger
he is helping. he is a helper
let's not forget microsoft had a talking paperclip with teeth in 1997 after that in their office suite
even the 90s weer still ridiculous in how abstract and weird things were, just look at vaporwave lol
I grew up poor, and my mom had certain lines she drew in the sand because "we're not rich but we're not on welfare."
Hamburger Helper was one such product.
On the bright side, my favorite food to cook at home is adapted from my mom's alternative. Take a ground meat, a frozen or canned veg, and a sauce, cook them together in a skillet, serve to hungry carnivorous growing boys (or a 46-year-old man still cooking it 40 years later.)
I find it interesting that they pivoted to single young men. The problem came when it was found to just taste plain bad.
@@craigrobbins2463 Yeah something changed with the taste, I dunno what it is.
@@RedRoseSeptember22yea
Cheeseburger helper and the cheesy tuna helper are really good. Which reminds me I need to get more at the store. Great vid!
Went to the store and bought a box of Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni!
Will make that for my next Weird History meal.
I had a Hamburger Helper White Glove alarm clock a long time ago.
Wish I still had it... Might be worth a few bucks.
This is the best video this channel has ever made, love it! Potato stroganoff for life!!
I'll have to pick that up at the store next time I go.
Fun to find out about how Hamburger Helper was able to help jump start the careers of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. Truly not just a helper in in the kitchen.
My favorite flavor of Hamburger Helper is the Southwest Pasta flavor, especially with some extra taco seasonings added. I don't make it much anymore, as I can get good dinner outcomes just as easily with hot sausage and rice-a-roni, or just whip up some chicken tikka or chicken curry with rice if I have more energy that day. Besides that, it's easier to mix up a pot of box mac and cheese and just mix in a can of chili. I do a lot of simple meals, but we kinda burned ourselves out on Helper a couple years ago and try to limit our use of it nowadays.
I STILL enjoy HH once or twice a month. Total comfort food! Cheeseburger Mac and stroganoff are my faves!
I was born in 82 and some of my earliest memories are seeijg this hand on TV and scared the F%¥K outta me
There used to be this item my grandparents would buy. They called it crust. Round brown stiff hockey pucks they poor warm milk over and eat. This goes back late 70s for me.
I loved this stuff!! My favorite was the bow tie pasta. It was the 1st thing I ate when moved out on my own. It was the first thing I learned to make..& it was a staple for me. I remember sitting in my 1st place with a plate of this, in front of the 📺TV-comfort food!! I'd love to have a "plush" of the glove 🖐 (glove) im a sucker for stuffed animals.. :)😊❤
I loved PIZZA hamberger helper from the 70s & 80s…… it had wagon wheel pasta in it.
Wish they would relaunch this flavor.
This is such a staple growing up. I loved tuna helper and the original cheeseburger. But my absolute favorite was cheesy hashbrowns
I want the history of the voices of this channel. Tom does a great job!!
This was an amazing video, Weird History! My favorite Hamburger Helper meals are the Cheeseburger Macaroni [unfortunately I am the only one in my family who enjoys it], and the Four Cheese Lasagna. I am curious to try Tuna Helper, if that's still around, as I love tuna. Weird to think Lefty first started in the late 70s, as he seemed to have been around forever, which I sadly can't say for most other non-cereal mascots. Speaking of mascots, will you please do a video on mascots voiced by famous voice actors one day? I already have a few mascots for the list.
1: 70s era Jack [Jack In The Box]: Paul Winchell, who also did the other 70s era Jack In The Box characters, Burger Chef from Burger Chef, and the Tootsie Pop Owl. Although Paul is best known as Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, he also had his own puppet show [Winchell-Mahoney Time], and invented the artificial heart.
2: Tony The Tiger [Thurl Ravenscroft]
3: Toucan Sam [Mel Blanc]
4: The Frito Kid [Richard Beals, funnily enough he was also the voice of Speedy Alka Seltzer]
5: Claudius Crow from Post Corn Toasties [Jesse White, the Maytag Man himself]
There are TONS of mascots voiced by famous voice actors, but these are IMO the most interesting.
The crunchy fruit ones and the pork fried rice look so good 👌.
You threw us a curveball with that evil dead reference. Who would have thought that an innocent little white glove has tie in with that movie?
My Dad used to buy Hamburger Helper for my brothers and I when we needed to prepare a good, quick meal that would be prepared in a heartbeat. Beef Noodle, Rice Oriental, and Cheeseburger Macaroni were my favorites. I still rather miss eating them.
I hear you, when I was a kid it was an awesome meal with fried potatoes and a vegetable, yeah it is nostalgic and I still get excited about a skillet of it today too and I'm 39
We ate our share of HH lasagna! Crunchy taco is good. Tuna helper was ok when the hamburger was to expensive.
"In love with the glove" sounds like a PSA for condoms.
