anyone find that hambug helper and tuna helper (lent) is a million times better reheated, less runny for starters.

the cheese is great until the reheat though, can't really reheat the crunchy taco.

When I was in college I would take two boxes of Kroger Mac & Chee' and dump one box's noodles into this container for use later for god knows what.  I would then combine one set of noodles with TWO cheese packets to create what was known as Powdercheesezilla

Idea:

get tuna can, open/drain, pour soy sauce and ground pepper in, eat.

Mods, please move to disgusting food ideas thread.  This is clearly powdercheese territory.

Fun fact:  In-A-Tub tacos in Kansas City (northland) use powdered cheese on their tacos.  It's omglicious.

The finest powdered cheese product I have ever had is Pasta Roni shells and white cheddar. Do yourself a favor and pick up a box next time your shopping for powdery goodness.

This is true, it is amazing, however, if you are planning on eating this then going on a date or something later in the day, it would be best if you just didn't eat it.

you guys really need to start eating a more healthy diet

haven't eaten the Hhelper in a while but here's the deal...there are like forty different kinds of hamburger helper but they all taste exactly the same. some kinda red sauce, pasta, hamburger. i bet you could blindfold someone and put five different kinds of Hhelper in front of them and they couldn't tell the difference. same thing w/ american lager beers-bud light, miller lite, coors light, etc. all the same.

Hamburger helper is aweful.  Its like they just tried different ways of flavoring sodium.

I do like a good mac and cheese now and then though.  Partial to the "real stuff" (home-made baked), but the powdery kind can be okay on occasion.

Chili Mac is prob my fav, takes not near the effort of real chili but tastes pretty good.

Hey _FAN, how's the new set of diamond handled golf clubs made by Jesus limited edition number 1 of 1 treating you?  They fit in the trunk of your custom car that looks like the dinosaur from land of the lost but bigger and more expensive?

No idea.  My set of Adams from rockbottomgolf.com fit real well in my Ranger though.

Add chunks of velveeta cheese to your blend of mac n cheez sometime. A plus IMO.

[catdude33]

prefer "Velveeta Shells 'n Cheese" to "Hamburger Helper".

[ksu_FAN]

prefer "Velveeta Shells 'n Cheese" to "Hamburger Helper".

Definately.

And the adding velveeta to mac and cheese suggested by waks is always a good idea.

To review; processed cheeses are good, processed flavored sodium is bad.

is terrible reheated, but excellent the first time around.

F*ck Hamburger Helper, took the best years of my life.  F*ck it.

QFT, I remember growing up with like 3 kinds of Helpers:  a brown kind, a yellow kind, and a red kind.  Then Tuna Helper showed up one day and they just started getting crazy with dozens of interchangeable flavors.

That's just not true.  Do they all taste like sh*t?  Yes.  Do they all taste like the same sh*t?  No.

I was chowin' down on some "bacon cheesburger" last night.  I could tell a distinct difference from the "chili cheese" I had last week.

Chili Cheese did not come with a seperate powder/milk/cheese "topping" that the bacon cheesburger included.

[CatsNShocks]

I don't know why they call it "Hamburger Helper"...it does just fine by itself.
