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.
Mix from 2-3 year storage.
Milk was from powdered mix, mixed and chilled.
Water.
Served with homemade bread of course!!!
