Wow, I've never heard of stroganoff being made with mince meat. It's always made with chunks of beef here. I find what people eat in different countries to be really interesting.
Got a tip for us?

Yup... and I usually do.
Not entirely sure why my brain to finger connection splurted out the other... results of the hangover from last night and being on the phone at the same time possibly!I saw the title of this thread and immediately thought of a related thread posted by jsw last year
I'm no cook but I'm proud to say I've never experienced anything like Hamburger Helper (well I'm a veggie so that might explain it), nor have I ever had a Pot Noodle in my life. I prefer 'real' food to ready-meals though I must admit, on occasion, I buy ready-made mash. Yeah I know, so simple to make yourself and I normally do, but I was feeling really crap and lazy yesterday so I bought some M&S Ultimate Potato Mash. Not bad, but I do prefer my own (has less of a glue-like consistency!)

Actually, all of my tables are glass-topped...A bowl of Kraft Shells 'n' Cheese must look great on the jet black table, sitting beside those uber-expensive vases you own.
And I eat my SnC out of a black bowl, sitting on a stainless steel tray which sits on my lap.

Well, that would be the "crap" part of iGary's original post. It's merely supposed to resemble beef strogonoff, while costing a total of $3 to make and 10 minutes to prepare. It's not even close.

kt beat you to it in post #32.
sounds nice, not much a fan of beans though
Mine is just cheese on toast, melted butter on top, slice of this strange Polish ham my parents get (just melts... mmmmmm) with sliced cherry tomatoes on top. So basic but I absolutely fell in love with it! The cold ham and tomatoes mixed with the hot cheese and toast
want one now!
Hamburger Helper is one of my favorite meals!
I don't exactly have to cook, but if I do, it'll be something easy, like chicken fried chicken. If I'm feeling really lazy, ill fry a hamburger patty. Easiest thing to make. ever.

^^Isn't there a bit of redundancy in calling something "Chicken Fried Chicken"?
Ah yes, clearly my mistake.

Kraft Mac n Cheese (not the Easy Mac junk though )
Pasta with cheese sauce or oil and garlic
BLT
Butter Noodles (these aren't their real name....I do not know their real name. This does not help, I know)
Popcorn??

I can't hear "hamburger helper" and not think of "Hamburger Helpless"
(that describes almost every cooking experience I've ever had.
Maybe this thread should become cooking hints and tips corner rather than packet meal delights!!
I never had these things growing up. Cambell's soup was always the closest. Perhaps starting off with a packet of McCormicks seasoning, then going from there.
Making it the "real" way isn't really any slower or more difficult. Water always takes the same time to come to a boil.
I will admit that insta-spuds make it nice to not have to clean the mixer

Kraft Mac & Cheese with canned (drained) Tuna and (frozen) peas added.
Sounds odd, but it's pretty good, and rather slightly healthier than straight Mac & Cheese.
Yummy.

I'm in college, I don't have the time/energy to learn how to cook real food.
Haha! As if you'll have more time and energy when you have a job than you do in school?
The only reason not to cook in school is limited resources: don't have a kitchen, can't drive to the grocery store, etc. If you have that stuff, though, you should be cooking every day.
easiest is usually veggie burgers and some frozen pommes frites. fancier would be homemade veggie stroganoff (mmmm) or eggplant with pasta... i'm ****ing hungry now
Take some homemade frozen cabbage rolls (filled with rice and ground beef) I prepared ahead of time out of the freezer, put it in a casserole dish, top it up with some crushed tomato puree and bake it in the oven. An hour later, it's ready to enjoy with some sauerkraut and side salad.
what do you call this, seriously? my mom makes this and calls it "pigs in the blanket".. as opposed to mini hot dogs wrapped with biscuits or whatever often gets that name.
it's my favorite meal, and even with ground soy is very very tasty. always have it with mashed potatoes too. mmmm
it's called halupkis, which is polish for ground beef stuffed cabbage. most eastern europeans have some version of this dish. it's great for producing massive gas.
