One of the quickest meals you can eat is to dump a can of Chef Boyardee in a bowl, microwave for a minute, and eat. If you’re in a hurry or are just lazy, you can eat it cold out of the can. Too sophisticated to eat straight out of the can? Not me. Anyway, I spotted Chef Boyardee Cheesy Burger Macaroni on the grocery store shelf recently and picked up a can on sale for a buck. I figured that it would make a good, quick, and inexpensive lunch. I think they were going for the flavor of a cheeseburger here, but it really falls short. There’s hardly any meat in it, and not much cheese flavor. The sauce tasted really familiar – similar to SpaghettiOs (oh yeah, another of my favorites). And the macaroni was, um … well, how good can canned, inexpensive, mass-produced macaroni be? For a buck, I wasn’t too disappointed but I’m not sure if I’ll buy it again. Overall, Cheesy Burger Macaroni tastes okay, but just don’t think that it’s going to be like eating a cheeseburger.

Posted by Jim on January 15, 2010So it's basically Hamburger Helper in a can? Only not good. (Yeah, I dig Hamburger Helper; sue me.) Thanks for the heads up.

Posted by: Marko at January 16, 2010 6:55 AMYeah. My boyfriend gets so freaked out when I eat from the can, but who wants to clean a bowl over some Chef Boyardee or some spinach or fruit or what-not. Not I!
