for real, and it’s not even enough noodles. So you end up adding more noodles too… at that point you’re paying for a box with some “spice” in it.
Comment on Recession indicator, what do you call this dish?

Hamburger helper is bullshit. They give you some dry noodles and a “spice” pack of dubious powder, you have to provide the beef and milk. That’s not helping very much.

But by the time you add enough beef and noodles to it, there’s not enough spice and it’s all bland. So you gotta add extra spice. May as well just cook.

How… Does this help in making a hamburger? I have never had a noodleburger, are they good?

i think the intent is if you have meat for hamburger it helps stretch it into more meals

It’s the equivalent of: “I got rolling papers, any body got any weed?”

It’s not for a hamburger. It’s basically to make a noodle and burger meal.

I think the “helper” might have more of a “helping” meaning, as in a helping of hamburger.
Although idk if a noodle burger would be all that bad with the right kind of bread

For me, it’s just too salty.
Grab some mac n cheese and put some hotdogs in it. If you are wealthy*, you can add ground beef instead and toss in some green chilies and some Italian seasoning. (It’s really good. Go ham on the seasoning.)
