It's a random pasta shape & a powdered sauce (usually containing former cheese) in a box so it's shelf stable. You brown and crumble minced beef that you buy separately, then add water, milk, and Hambuger Helper box contents to make a one-skillet easy meal.

I wasn't allowed this stuff at home as a kid (but Kraft mac&cheese/ Kraft dinner was ok, go figure). So naturally I lived on this stuff in college. Many years later, I got nostalgic and made a box. Yeah, my palate has moved on thankfully.

Ohhhh it's beefaroni but Kraft Dinner style (Mac & Cheese for the 'muricans)

It's trash food for when I want to eat out but shouldn't.
