Grilled over plum wood. $7.99/# Certified Angus sirloin. Been way
too long since they've had Prime steaks on sale.

Don't knock that Hamburger Helper. It's trending once again i.e., a "blockbuster resurgence." America seems to be reverting back to the
70's, food-wise. Typically, people buying more HH is not good news
but the Fox kids make it look like happy days are here again.

That Fox News link is broken.

But if this is where your information
comes from it is no wonder you think things like Hamburger Helper are "trending".

Golly a "shoot the messenger" coupled with your steadfast in-curiosity,
how predictable.

It's easy enough to make something very similar to HH
without buying the box with some powdered seasoning packet and still
prepare an inexpensive dinner.

It's even easier to just empty a box and cook.

You know that of course, but in order to be an intransigent RFC cynic
the snark must come from somewhere and it must be shot at someone or
something.

I'd hate to be you.
