Sunday Seven – Episode 166
Who couldn’t use a little help in the kitchen?
That’s the slogan for a brand of boxed meals that are guaranteed to make cooking a meal easier. We know said brand as “Hamburger Helper,” although there are also varieties for Tuna and Chicken.
And whether the prospect of serving up a meal that isn’t entirely from scratch offends your sensibilities or not, if you’re trying to save money and/or just busy enough, such a thought might become a bit more appealing.
Here is a list of the varieties of Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper from Betty Crocker. You’ll use that for this week’s question.

Hi, Patrick. Just checking in. You know I’m far too old to respond to many of your weekend questions, but I do enjoy reading the responses.
This time I can chuckle a bit and give you an answer.
There is no Hamburger, Tuna or Chicken Helper that would be “appealing” at our house. Zero, zip, nada. Can you imagine Dad’s, Chip’s or Lynne’s reaction if I ever served one? They love me, but they’d get their pitchforks, tar and feathers… and run me right out of town!
Hi, Linda!
You’re absolutely right: yours is the one house I can imagine where even the idea of such an offering would be a mortal sin. But the next time Chip comes home to visit, I dare you to offer him a plate of it just for a joke. Just be sure to have a camera ready…and don’t tell him that I put you up to it!
We eat several varieties of Hamburger helper around here, but none of the chicken or tuna helpers.
Leave your response!
