In the 1970s, Hamburger Helper became a staple on American dinner tables as families, strained by inflation and soaring beef prices, looked to turn a pound of ground beef into an entire meal.
These days, those same pressures are why the flavored pasta mix is coming to the rescue again.
While most food companies are seeing declines in consumer demand for their products, sales of Hamburger Helper are up 14.5 percent in the year through August, getting an extra bump from its appearance on an episode of “The Bear” in June, according to the company that owns the brand, Eagle Foods.

“But I have no hamburger to help..” ☹️
Is there Shredded Paper Helper or Packing Peanuts Helper?
Can’t remember. Didn’t Cousin Eddie’s family meal with the Griswold’s in Vacation have Hamburger Helper without hamburger but with real tomato ketchup?
Haven’t seen it in a while. Missed it on Turner Classic Academy Award Cinema. (kidding)
Cheaper to bypass box dinners and do it yourself. I’ve got all kinds of pasta in the pantry.
Homemade stroganoff mm-hmm.
The only thing worse than Hamburger Helper is Tuna Helper.
Crap. As bad as junk food.
Cousin Eddie said the Hamburger Helper was real good without the hamburger!!!
Assorted Flavors!
Boo-Flippin-Hoo!
When I was a kid, Mom used SAWDUST in our Hamburger Helper. And she topped it with Free Government Cheese! Did we complain? Well, not until the middle of the night, LOL! (Just kidding, of course!)
Silly New Yorkers! You can make your OWN ‘Hamburger Helper’ from scratch which is even CHEAPER, ya lazy bums! Hamburger Helper was a LUXURY food item for me back in the day when I had a family of SIX to feed - three of them being Teen Boys!
I hope all of these dopes that can’t feed themselves DO go hungry!

Beans and rice is easy and cheap, too!
Don’t forget to buy some stock in Purina.
Forgot to add: “The bodies are piling up in the streets of New York! Everyone is STARVING TO DEATH! Orange Man BAD! Potato Head Man GOOD! How we miss him!”
*Rolleyes*
But now days you can buy powdered sour cream, cheese and tomatoes which means you can make your own shelf stable mixes at home and keep them in jar to be used as you want.
If you want to know how you can look up Tales from an Empty Nest and Rose red Homestead on YouTube.
I used to enjoy regularly making HH. Now I avoid it like the plague, along with almost all other boxed/processed meals/kits. I got smart.
With ground beef at a premium, families can be both healthier & more economical with casseroles.
A good writer with genuine concern on the topic would write such a piece with recipes rather than doing a fist bump with a corporate sponsor pushing junk food.
Thanks. I knew somewhere here there would be people like me who appreciate fine quality cinema.
“Don’t forget to buy some stock in Purina.”
My Beagle seconds that! She claims to ALWAYS be STARVING! She’s always ONE Milk Bone away from perishing, LOL!
The slime is really desperate to publish drivel like this. They really think we’re stupid. Hamburger Helper? Really?
From the website:
