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
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.
Two weeks? If you're middle to upper middle class, sure. If you're lower middle to lower class, you'll get a week, if anything at all, unpaid. Sick? Unpaid. Spouse died? Unpaid. What, give people welfare? Not on my tax dollar, that's communism!
The US stopped being the land of opportunity two generations ago, and only now people are starting to realize.

I get 40 hours of sick time off per year that I can use for vacation. This is the New York State minimum that had to be fought for.
Isn't ultra processed crap like that normally pretty expensive though? I find its always cheaper to make a cheese sauce and some pasta myself and doesn't require ultra processed ingredients.
You're forgetting time. Cooking from scratch takes time that many ppl can't afford. I think we forget how closely linked freetime and wealth are
Never really been convinced by this. Even when I was on apprenticeship wages (way below regular UK minimum wage) along with also having assignments to complete, I still had enough time to cook food every day.
I certainly wasn't wealthy but if you are poorer than I was you would be working so few hours that you have loads of free time. UK specific of course but I hear the same argument here all the time.
I can see how having only part time/zero hour contracts sucks financially, but that is because you have too little income from not being able to work enough. At least you do have a lot of free time in this situation though, so you have the time for cooking.

This probably takes about as much time as hamburger helper out of the box does. And yes, I know not everyone is going to have those ingredients on hand, but most people who keep their pantry stocked with the basics are going to have everything.
Or I can just buy hamburger helper and some hotdogs for $4 instead. So I save time and money.
Also if I live in a food desert god help you if you're able to get any of this stuff in the recipe in a reasonable amount of time/at all
It's crazy to me that the so-called "greatest country on earth" has normalized the term "food desert".
Sounds like something ripped straight out of the Maoist era of China, unreal.
Never heard of a food desert before, I live in Europe.
This might be the most stereotypically American thing I've ever seen
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.
Ew, are you talking about those canned mixed veggies that had the little red pepper in them too? Like red bell pepper or something.
The one I remember is corn, carrots, and peas. That mixture is why I thought cooked carrots were the most disgusting thing... And I think the corns' flavor took a hit as well because the only good canned corn was creamed corn.
...y'all didn't grow up eating kraft mac n hot dogs cut up in it?
o.o
Sorry, but this is like one of the many litmus tests for people who think they grew up in the middle class and then actually find out they grew up poorer than they initially thought.
Another good one was having canned mixed vegetables more than a couple times a week.
You're overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.
Naturally there's a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.
If your parents are tired and overworked, you're probably also not as middle class as you think...
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.
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?
What in gods name even is this product?
Pasta and seasoning. And cheese I guess. Intended to me mixed with ground beef in order to stretch it into more meals. It's not awful, just poor people food.
Seems weird calling the weiners hot dogs instead of calling just the whole hot dog the hot dog
