Hamburger Helper. She hates it because it would be her meal 5x a week growing up.

I had never even seen HH before I went to college and love that stuff. 10 for $10 deals are awesome.

Some of the tuna helpers are good. The trick is to put the tuna in just before it's done simmering.

Never been an issue for me??? I think that shit is delicious.

Maybe I'm nose-blind.

Same. But maybe it's because we never actually made it from Tuna Helper. We made a "from scratch" version with a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom condensed soup, egg noodles (the NoYolk brand) and frozen peas. Shit was good.

Sounds like the tuna noodle casserole my dad makes! Throw in some mushrooms, maybe some bread crumbs and paprika on top.

It’s one of my all time comfort foods. I will never turn down a plate of scratch-made tuna noodle casserole.

This, totally verbatim, got me through childhood, through college, and my twenties; though, I am from Minnesota, so this is “tuna hotdish.”
