Nothing beats liver and onions with bacon and some Moosehead to wash it down

Damn canadians :1orglaugh

Will do man;-)

The first time i cooked HH I forgot to drain the grease after browning the meat. Worse meal ever! :)

My dad is a wonderful guy, but the liver is nearly unforgiveable.

Yes and yes! I get in late Wed.

Perhaps that was my mistake. but at such lean meat I dind't see much need...

Live and learn!

I get in midday Thursday.. I'll hit you up on ICQ now:thumbsup

Grrr... I have heartburn now.

It had to be the grease from not draining the lean meat.

PS sharky, 93% lean sirloin doesn't make great burgers :) Burgers really do need that 20% fat content as a minimum, and sirloin is overrated for a burger when chuck is better.

I stuff my burgers with herbed butter, garlic and onion. lean meat is much better with that as it doesn't shrink as much... and honestly the meat tastes better:2 cents:

I like the chicken liver's slowly roasted for 6-8 hours in the hot summer sun. They smell great. :thumbsup

the Chili Tomato Hamburger Helper is great - though it does lead to mudbutt usually

I am fortunate enough to never have had liver before. My grandma used to eat it though. egh!

The risk is worth the reward to you?

HH isn't bad when you are feeling lazy.

Perhaps not a great burger but a very good burger can be made from both extra lean beef and turkey/chicken. It is all about what other moisture you introduce. I make a mean turkey curry burger that is nearly fat free and uses mango chutney in the mix to bring the moisture.

Yes, fat tastes good but you can make the burgers taste yummy without the fat too. Trust me, I do a new low fat burger (with various meats) every other week as a treat.

As far as hamburger helper goes, we don't have it in the UK so I admit that it is a bit of a white trash memory treat when I go back home. Then I remember it wasn't that great and I can make something similar way better on my own. Sort of like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (also very hard to get over here).

well it's not like HH is the only food/beverage that screws up your stomach - people drink beer and i don't know many people who drink a lot of beer who don't destroy a toilet the next day

i think you had tainted meat - all HH is is ground beef, pasta and some chili mix - chemicals but pretty much all packaged foods have the same chemicals

I haven't had that since I was a kid

Hamburger helper has a shelf life of like 900 years.

You definitely ate some bad meat.

I think you should stick with Chef Boyardee ;-) \

I havent had hamburger helper for at least a year now... and I only accept a couple versions... but i have to say Sharky, Lasagna was long ago ruled out as the very worst HH on the face of the earth...

try this one out sometime...

Cheesy enchilada... its hamburger and spanish rice... coock it up ... get some tortillas and some fresh lettuce and salsa... slap some HH on the tort... chop some lettuce and layer it about, some salsa... now that makes for a tasty lunch or dinner... quick and still lite...

most of the other older versions are pure shit...

sorry about your pooper

Next time give fair warning before you dry fuck him.

Hey dude, you're supposed to drain the oil/grease out when you are done cooking the meat but before you put in the noodles otherwise it will taste like the oily stuff you are talking about. I used to eat hamburger helper years back but now I hate it! You just reminded me of why!

man helper fed me through college when money was tight try beef stroganoff :thumbsup or the Lasagna

haah I was just gonna post that

I can't even fathom being hungry enough to make Hamburger Helper.

I was out of food once, so I made up the pasta, but their mixes are vile.

You must have grown up rich because there were times they sold those boxes for a buck and they made cheap white trash meals when money was tight. I am sort of glad we went through that stage growing up so I can judge real food against the powdered stuff and know why I like the real stuff better.

I will say though, that when I went home to the States and saw the tuna helper stuff I did wonder why people needed help making tuna noodle casserole which is one of the easiest meals to make on your own.

I'm speaking of within recent times, not back when baddog was a kid.

Sharky...next time you feel the urge to fix something with SPAM:thumbsup

I'm just messing with ya mutt...

I'm pretty sure it was me not draining the meat which left the grease in there..

It was the Lasagna that did me in. I'm done with HH for a while.. haha.

Spam isn't so bad if cooked right!

I grew up in Guam, the home of "1001 ways to cook spam"! Spam and macaroni, Spam fried rice... I've had it all!

I have never tasted spam... that I know of...

It's Canned meat. very salty. Not known for it's taste, but perfect if you live on an island prone to typhoons where you lose power and can't store meat in the fridge.

spam is at the bottom of the food chain pig assholes and what ever else they could find :)

never eat a hotdog

You would know if you had.

Back in the same period where my parents stretched the budget with HH they also did macaroni and cheese and spam. For a good year,when I was about 6, that was my favorite meal. I have had spam meals that aren't that bad but I haven't had spam at all for years.

Now that's what I'm talking about...more versatile than chicken:thumbsup:1orglaugh

With this economy alot of peeps will get to know it again:winkwink:
