    Hamburger Helper has always just been the noodles and sauce packs.

    It’s Hamburger HELPER, not Hamburger Offerer.

        It helps with stretching your budget. You can use less meat to feed your family than if you say made burgers.

        its a relatively inexpensive way to make a easy, low effort, very low stress meal. No prepping, no making a sauce from scratch, no hoping you have the right seasoning, oh wait, I dont, now I’ve got to run to the store, oh but I cant because I cant leave someone home alone so fuck it I guess I’ll use some other seasoning and hope it doesnt come out fucking awful, and yep it doesnt taste great but fuck it, todays been miserable enough and if you don’t fucking like it don’t fucking eat it because i’ve dealt with enough of your bullshit today I sure as fuck aint making a second meal that we absolutely cant afford.

        bitching about it not having burger in it, is like bitching about having to provide your own milk in mac n cheese, or about your own eggs and oil in a box cake mix.

          Who’s bitching? Not everyone is American and that stuff doesn’t exist here, it might be obvious to you because you’ve seen it all your life but to me it’s not. It’s called hamburger helper, I would have expected hamburger to have something to do with it
