none. Too much salt and junky stuff. I find it's just as easy to throw together a quick pasta with fresh veggies and a little ground turkey.

The only ones I like are cheesy hashbrowns and chicken fettucini helper. I really only make them like once or twice a year! Dh can't stand them.

Same here. I have other meals I use when I don't feel like cooking much. I especially hate how mushy the needles are

I can't imagine even buying one. I've never eaten one. It looks just too awful.

We don't really like them either but if we are going to eat them it is the Hamburger Tomato basil flavor. It is the only one that we can eat. We only add half of the meat and serve it with salad or steamed brocolli and garlic bread.

I haven't eaten hamburger helper since I lived at home with my parents, which was like 3 years ago. I don't like it enough to buy it myself.

I really only liked 2 different kinds of hamburger helper, the lasagna kind and the beef pasta kind. But my family would cook the beef pasta kind with hot sauce and pickled peppers, so it was spicy, then they would top it with shredded cheddar cheese. Yum.

I never buy hamburger helper but I do make my own from scratch. It tastes way better, is still supper cheap and is a quick meal. Here is the recipe is anyone wants it--

Hamburger Helper Mix
2c nonfat dry milk powder
1 c cornstarch
1/4 beef bouillon (or chicken or veggie)
2 Tbsp onion flakes
1 tsp dry basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp garlic powder

Put into a jar and shake--it makes 6 1/2 cup servings---then all you have to do is add the other ingredients Ex

Stroganoff add
1 lb ground beef (cook and drain)
add 2 c water, 1/2c mix, 2c egg noodles---simmer 20 min
stir in 1/2c sour cream and serve
