    It…. Doesn’t help make hamburgers.

    Hamburger helper is a boxed spice mix, you also need ground meat, then you brown the meat and add the seasoning mix. You end up with sorta a taco meat (different flavor of course) that you can then eat, mix with pasta.

    It’s…. Fine? But it’s pretty depressing in this context.

        It can be okay. I like to add peas and depending on the type beans. Just to make it a bit more nutritional

            The problem with goulash (and soups in general) is the time commitment. A struggling parent often doesn’t have an hour to wait for soup to boil. Hamburger Helper comes together in 15-20 minutes, tops.

        Have eaten it. It’s depressing. I think it’s like 1600 kCal for the mix and ~0.5kg of Lean Ground Beef.

        Edit: Big bag of salt included. You will feel bloated for days.
