Pretend it's Thursday.
I didn't grow up eating Hamburger Helper, and as a result, I have always had a soft spot for it. I loved the commercials: "Hamburger Helper helped her hamburger HELLLLLLP her make a great meal!"
My version of Cheeseburger Macaroni, one of the seminal flavors (in my mind, anyway), only takes about 40 minutes to make, so it's doable for a weeknight supper and certainly for a weekend. I gussied mine up with some diced pickled jalapenos and havarti cheese, and it is delicious.
If you're in the mood for, say, Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni, go for it. The fun in making your own is that you can customize it.
Mmmm, creamy deliciousness! Gimme!/span>
