While I enjoy the strait ol' mac n' cheese as much as the next person, I'm also eating more of it ( and more often) than the average person. While different cheeses do change things up, most don't come with anything else in them. So when a meal includes some kind of extra veggie or protein, I'm pretty excited to give it a shot because I know it will be different (good or bad). I've found and reviewed so many just add water or heat and serve options that I also decided I should break it up some more and start slowly dipping my foot into the stovetop pool. First up is the first meal that I've reviewed with it's own (not licensed) mascot, Hamburger Helper and it's mascot the "Helping Hand"!
Hamburger Helper is a product of General Mills and has been in production since the early 70's. Another meal of the baby boomer break out era, where simple fast meals (with minimal additional work by the chef) really began to take hold. Hamburger Helper is known for the simple additional ingredients you provide of water and hamburger and the need for only one pan to prepare it all in. They've since created additional brands of helper for Tuna, Chicken and Asian and discontinued other helper brands including Pork and Fruit.
I've got my chef's hat on, lets see how my first step into stovetops comes out.
