Just ran into these babies at the grocery store:

Didn't buy any as I'm still on a diet (damnit). They look awesome though. maybe I should go back and buy them because they're limited edition. Hamburger helper rocks. It's definitely one step above trailer park food.

Also WTF is with women in grocery stores? I went with my wife and I swear to god it's a woman thing to just PARK YOUR FREAKING CART in the middle of the aisle and then aimlessly look at crap on shelves 10 feet away from your cart. We had this one woman trailing us who was the equivalent of someone crossing double yellows during a left hand turn and try to pass in a single lane. That is unfreaking believable.

All the men in the store keep it to the right. You want to look at something on the shelves? Park your cart in front of it (close to the shelf itself) and then look. Women are just all over that place. It's chaos. No self awareness at all. So much hate. I hate the grocery store. They had some neat cakes though.

Don't like any of the other varties I've tried, but I will fuck up some Cheeseburger Macaroni. I use to make a box and eat it in 1 sitting with a few slices of garlic bread.

Does it still contain MSG? That's the only thing holding me back from ever eating it again.

Where does it say "Extreme" or did you just badly typo "Ultimate". Most of the flavors of HH that I've tried suck, but a couple are worth having. That Chipotle Chicken looks like it would be worth a go, the others look pretty meh.

So the only difference is that you add ground beef and vegetables, unlike regular HH that needs only beef.

I'll pass. I know how to season my own food.

Cheeseburger mac? Epic.

I thought eXtreme sounded cooler. Maybe I should apply to be their box designer. :hmm:

Any version of Hamburger Helper Extreme that still needs hamburger isn't extreme enough, imho. :colbert:

The pic on the box always looks good. Everytime I have tried it as an adult I have felt like I was standing at deaths door. Like a heart attack would end it all in my near future.

Eddie: I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, Clark?
Clark: You're the gourmet around here, Eddie.

I had myself a hamburger helper the other day, was quite disappointing. Not at all as good as what I remembered from when I was a kid.

Basically the same shit except they changed the box. Way to go marketing! LOL Although, I do like hamburger helper.

And props to the OP's massive Hubble space telescope-like resolution. :rolleyes: Can't see the damn thing.

My late wife used prepared food to suggest recipes that she would duplicate. If you like the concept of a dish make it for yourself according to your tastes. (and ingredients)
