Mr. Husband is so excited about tonight's dinner...something I don't think we've had in a couple decades. Yes, I'm serious. Decades.
He saw me making it on the stove and couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Cheeseburger Macaroni!? We have Cheeseburger Macaroni!?" "Yep, apparently I put some in storage!"
Yesterday I was looking for something in our 2-3 year pantry and came across a food grade bucket that said "Hamburger Helper" on the side. Oh yeah... I totally forgot about that!
For longer term storage, I had bought boxes of cheeseburger macaroni and opened each of the boxes in order to pour the pasta into a mylar bag, with the cheese/seasoning packet and an oxygen absorber. I then put them into a bucket. Tonight I made a husband very happy in a "OMG I'm 20 years old again and eating Hamburger Helper!" way.
Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. My secret to fresh boxed meals.
Hamburger was from the deep freezer but we also have/use freeze dried.
Mix from 2-3 year storage.
Milk was from powdered mix, mixed and chilled.
Water.
Served with homemade bread of course!!!
