Are they skimping on the pasta in burger/tuna helper these days?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

I used to "cook" that stuff all the time in years gone by, but rarely do any more. But this evening I had a taste for some so I went and bought some. Seems to me there used to be a hell of a lot more pasta included.

No biggie- I always add a generous helping of mushrooms anyway to add a bit of taste, but still, I can't help but think I'm being ripped off by the makers of "Helper" now.

This modern age sure does suck....

2. If you want processed food (and a return to your childhood)

the following works well, though go crazy and use a pound or more of ground beef, or if you must, ground turkey:
