This might be the most stereotypically American thing I've ever seen

...y'all didn't grow up eating kraft mac n hot dogs cut up in it?

o.o

Wtf are you guys eating over there.... Jesus christ, I wonder why Americans seem so crazy. Artificial food, artificial media, Artificial work culture...

And two weeks vacation, maybe, on a full year of work... What? And still no money in the wallet at the end of the day?

I watched a video last night about an American guy that was just losing it, and rightly so:

Watch five minutes of that and be happy if you are European, I guess.

Protip: Hamburger Helper has always been the most expensive way to do this. Buy raw macaroni and one of those seasoning spice packs (e.g. taco mix) if you're not good with measuring seasoning or have none at home. Take a photo of the Hamburger Helper directions (on the box) with your phone if you need something to go by.

There are probably tons of such recipes online too.

What in gods name even is this product?

Cheaper if you grind up your nearest billionaire and share with your community

The comments are teaching me I grew up poor and still eat poor.

I mean I knew the second part. But those damn canned mixed veggies were disgusting.

This is FAKE NEWS because Trump said the Economy is doing GREAT!

-Free Thinking TM Republicans!

Sorry, I'm European, could someone explain what Hamburger Helper actually is?? I've heard the brand name before and assumed it was just some kind of seasoning powder for making hamburgers, but this image looks more like it's more like powdered sauce base for a whole range of random meals?

You're not quite there yet. It still says 'real cheese'.

This is my easy hamburger helper recipe in case people want real food. I skip the box and throw paprika and onion and garlic powders on my ground beef, brown it. Add ziti noodles, or anything I have, add beef stock and water. Let the pasta become tender, abt 7-8 mins. And throw in a huge glob a sour cream and mix it in. Salt as needed, skip the sodium spike

How soon till it says roadkill?

Don't use Hamburger Helper, switch to the store brand Lasgana Skillet Meal. It will taste much better. The people who make Hamburger Helper have seriously cheaped out on their ingredients in the last several years, speaking as a childhood fan.

Meat!? In this economy?

American food makes British food look yummy.

Great Depression? Shit I was serving that shit with hot dogs in the 90s.

I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper, it does just fine by itself, huh?

Last time I checked ground beef was $6 a pound. It is now a luxury I no longer buy.

Bold of you to assume you'll still be about to afford hot dogs.
