So nice that you acknowledge and show sensitivity to the fact that these are times & that people do need to stretch a dollar. You're an amazing man, Kent. God bless you.

[@AliasUndercover]

Boy, I remember back in the '70s we'd go to the store and walk out with cans of tuna, boxes of mac and cheese, cheap ground beef, and Hamburger Helper if it was a good week.

[@user-ij2jy8mt5e]

Well, if it makes you feel any better I'm about to start reliving your memories.

[@clivewarren780]

Good memories! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh Kent, my mother, Rest her soul, would make a dish so similar, never would buy those kits, but she fed me and half the school...No one went hungry, at out table.... thanks for posting this video!

I'll never get tired of Hamburger Helper. Loved it since I was a kid and 30+ years later I still love it.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Same here. That's my winter comfort food, next to beef stew and any kind of rice and sausage dish.

Being a child of the 60’s & 70’s, this brings back tons of dinner time memories.... I am going to try this one out!!!

[@_HippieThugg_]

I am a child of the 80s & 90s and I too have many a memory of Hamburger Helper. Just not like this.

[@dillonlaw8898]

I’ll fill in the middle!!! Child of the 70s & 80s!!!! Still love it!!!!

[@krb5292]

Mom tried it once or twice; she figured she could do better and cheaper with what we had in the house. There was no need to spend the, what? 59 cents or so for a box of stuff and then buy the meat. My next exposure to it was in college with a couple of neighbors. They ate it, but... eh, not that great. This was early to mid 70s.

[@charleyb8423]

Like Rice-a-Roni! LOL

[@ghoulinthegraveyard399]

When I got into the construction industry after high school and moved in to my own place, my sandwiches were named after the hamburger helper I had the night before. I was lucky, most of the job trailers had a microwave someone brought from home. Tomato sandwiches were the best during the summer. TY Ricky Raines.

Kent, that hamburger helper takes me back to the US during the troop disengagement from 'Nam,... we teenagers thought we were sooooo sophisticated because we could feed ourselves a hot meal with a frying pan n what was in that 'helper' box. Little did we know, how hard the real, real world would change us from such simple things. Hats off to you and all your family 2 n 4 legged!

You're right Kent, they invented HH about 3 years before I moved out on my own and it sure came in handy over the years when money was tight. Yours looks much better though! Thanks for the video and y'all take care.

[@outdoorenthusiasts3175]

You two and the important taste testers bring joy to my life during this crazy time. I have been following you for a long time and have made many of your recipes for my family and friends.

Leave it to you to make me want hamburger helper more than I thought could be possible!! I haven't had the box stuff in forever (grew up without much money so ate it a lot). This looks amazing!! Thank you for yet another great video!!

[@keithparker9105]

I work in a very stressful environment and watching your video's helps a lot. I wanted to thank you for all the dinner ideas and stress relief.

[@OhPleaseMary]

Okay, Kent: I have never been a fan of hamburger helper, but my husband and two teenage sons love it. I saw this recipe yesterday and decided to whip it up for dinner last night. I was AMAZED at how delicious it was and even had a bowl myself! My husband finished off the pot after I went to bed and my son woke up this morning mad because he wanted the leftovers for breakfast. He wanted me to make it again tonight, but we settled on 'in a few days, haha. Just thought I'd let you know how much my family enjoyed this new dinner staple in our house! Thank you for another great (and easy) recipe!

[@verashular7378]

My son uses your recipe to fry fish. I am going to try this recipe for sure. I love my iron skillets. Some were given to me by my Mother. Nothing like a good cornbread and beans in the iron skillets.

[@billyblair4635]

This one brings back memories. I agree, you can never have too much cheese. Thanks Kent and Shannon

[@chadb3459]

Kent, I look forward to watching your videos every time. No matter the mood I'm in It makes me happy to watch you cook. Sometimes I wish you were my neighbor so I could come over and watch in person. Haha. You're such a down to earth person. People these days could learn a thing or two from the character you have. Thank you for continuing to make content. And thank you for the comfort you bring with it.

[@grego925]

Thanks Kent and Shan, This brings back memories growing up. Nothing like having supper with the Rollins' every Wednesday. #1 Beag fan 😁 God Bless

[@Az2013ful]

Hi Cowboy Kent and Shan!! I love every one of your videos and recipes. My mama used to make this type of dish when I was a young teen in the 1970's. She worked hard every day and then came home and cooked for us. She was a great cook from Mississippi and my Daddy was from Verdigris, OK. He cooked our breakfast every day. They're gone now for quite awhile. Your recipes and your great humor and caring nature reminds me so much of my parents. I look forward to each new video. God bless you guys and the pups.

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

Thanks Shannon & Kent (Beag & Duke). Hamburger Helper was usually the first item on the grocery list while I was growing up. Well, with six kids sitting down at the Supper table plus mom and dad, we had to stretch things out. There were usually some fresh vegetables from dad's garden to stretch it out a little bit more. Mom usually always had Sweet Tea or milk for our evening beverage. Great video presentation. Thanks again for sharing. Stan

[@sherryberry1382]

I'm new here. I subscribed to the first video l saw of you and Shannon yesterday. I also enjoyed your interactions with your dogs, your dancin, your respect for our flag, and your final words for our military at the end of each show. l wanted to learn more recipes so l put you on my tv and started binge watching your channel for a couple of hours! Real good feel good stuff!!! Thank you.

Oh the flood gate of memories opened up as I recalled momma makin hamburger helper and tuna helper when I was growin up. I was a little taller than old yeller but still looking up at the cattle. We didn’t have much when we were young and momma worked hard to stretch every dollar in the budget including using coupons. Between things like this and our garden and canning we always seemed to be blessed with enough to eat.

[@richbaker8211]

God bless you all, been going through a real tough time, but your videos always make me smile. Thank you so much!

I can’t wait to try this! I’m loving your new cookbook and planning on ordering some of that Red River Ranch seasoning this week. I give thanks in my prayers for you and Shan continuing to put out videos that give people hope and happiness in times like this! (And your dogs are adorable!)

[@vetgirl71]

Thanks for sharing your great recipes, it looks delicious! I didn’t use the cream cheese & sour cream, but I did add red/green peppers on hand , light cream, tbsp tomato paste, tbsp “better than bouillon “paste, tbsp ketchup & mustard, cheddar, mozzarella turned out delicious! Add or subtract what you & your family likes! I loved hamburger helper growing up in the 70’s & 80’s. We had a big family 5 kids and my parents!! Through the years on a quest to eat healthier, I stopped buying boxed prepared foods and starting creating healthier versions! But it does give me good childhood memories! Thanks for the memories & honoring my fellow American veterans! Happy holidays! 🙄🙏🏾❤️

When you are feeling down, listen to one of Kent's videos and you will feel better. If you saw him on the Food Network when he was the runner up on the show, his personality was so strong that one of the judges actually cried when he was let go. Kent, you have always been a winner🏆 as far as I am concerned.

God bless you all, and thank you for all you do for the communities and especially the farmers that keeps the country going. Stay safe and healthy, God bless you both, can't wait for the next video.

As a person from Wisconsin, I say "Yes" to the cheese. Can never have too much. FYI-WI is No. 1 in making cheese from cows milk. No.1 in making cheese from goats milk. We are also the only state that still makes Limburger cheese. Powerful odor but tastes great with mild onion in a sandwich.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Kathy for watching

[@tattoorocker]

Love watching your videos and seeing the pups . This one does bring back a lot of memories , my mom was always stretching a dollar anywhere she could . We didn't have a lot on the farm but we never went hungry . She would make hers from scratch as well . Thank you for for sharing with us . She also had a wood cook stove that she would use in the winter and when I was going to feed or move the stock I always knew there was a couple of leftover biscuits from breakfast wrapped in a dish towel for me to take . Best of times !!!
