Synonymous with easy, comforting dinners for generations, Hamburger Helper is now bringing its mealtime expertise to the breakfast category for the first time with Helper Breakfast Cheesy Hashbrowns. This quick-cooking morning meal features real potatoes and a cheese sauce, and true to the classic Hamburger Helper format, there's room for tons of customization when it comes to topping the sausage-centered meal with freshly chopped veggies of choice or a dash of a favorite condiment.
“Hamburger Helper is undoubtedly experiencing a blockbuster resurgence that, in many ways, resembles the runaway success the brand experienced when it first hit store shelves more than a half-century ago,” said Mala Wiedemann, executive vice president of marketing and research and development at Eagle Foods, manufacturer of Hamburger Helper.
