Hamburger helper is a boxed spice mix, you also need ground meat, then you brown the meat and add the seasoning mix. You end up with sorta a taco meat (different flavor of course) that you can then eat, mix with pasta.
It’s…. Fine? But it’s pretty depressing in this context.
The problem with goulash (and soups in general) is the time commitment. A struggling parent often doesn’t have an hour to wait for soup to boil. Hamburger Helper comes together in 15-20 minutes, tops.
It…. Doesn’t help make hamburgers.

it sounds depressing tbh but i never had it so take my opinion with a big bag of salt
Have eaten it. It’s depressing. I think it’s like 1600 kCal for the mix and ~0.5kg of Lean Ground Beef.
Edit: Big bag of salt included. You will feel bloated for days.
It can be okay. I like to add peas and depending on the type beans. Just to make it a bit more nutritional
Goulash is better, and just as cheap. Fuck national corpo scum.

So it helps hamburgers?
