    I grew up poor in the 1980s and my mom’s go to recipes was ‘Hamburger Helper’ … basically mac 'n cheese with ground beef … or boxed mashed potatoes (because they were cheaper than actual potatoes where we were in the far north) with either canned corned beef, diced Spam or cut up boiled weiners

    I remember I used to love the mashed potatoes and canned corned beef as a kid … I tried it a year ago and I could not believe I used to gobble that up as a kid, it was disgusting to me as an adult.
