helper

Hamburger Helper is a boxed food product manufactured by Eagle Foods, consisting of a dried carbohydrate (often pasta or rice, but sometimes potato), plus a packet of powdered seasonings; both are to be combined with browned ground beef ("hamburger"), water, milk, and sometimes mayonnaise to create a complete one-dish meal.
There are also variations of the product designed for other meats, such as "Tuna Helper" and "Chicken Helper".
