Food Crap

[ext_2442230]

My mom used box macaroni and cheese to make what I call "make-shift spaghetti." For each box of mac and cheese you brown 1 lb hamburger, slice or dice (your preference) a small onion and fry with the hamburger. In a separate pan cook the macaroni noodles til done. In a bowl, crush a 15 oz can of whole tomatoes or use stewed or Italian tomatoes. When macaroni is cooked, drain and put in the bowl with the tomatoes. Add the onion and hamburger mixture, the cheese from the macaroni and a half stick of margarine. You can also add a little milk. Mix it all together and you have "make-shift spaghetti." Anyway, that was my mom's box helper. She probably used about 8 boxes--there were 8 of us kids plus my mom and dad, so it was a lot of people to feed. I make it sometimes (ONE box, of course) but it doesn't taste the same as mom's. Yet, when I visit my kids, that's what they want me to make. Too many carbs, but it tastes so good. It's one of my comfort foods.

Think I need to make some tomorrow!

Anyway, I told you all of that to tell you this: I totally relate and understand regarding the box helper.

I love boxed macaroni and cheese way more than helpers. It is probably my biggest Achilles heel, food-wise.
