Not really but it's quick, easy and most kids love it. it's perfect for a busy weekday dinner. Most people don't eat it all the time. I prefer the Velveeta Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac to the Hamburger Helper but it is good, too. it can be made with ground turkey or ground chicken also if that's your preference. i've made it with ground chicken in the past and sometimes I add veggies to it like frozen peas, carrots and pearl onions. Yum.But it's not healthy is it. Like boxed mac and cheese. The cheese isn't real cheese. It's all imitation really, not that I wouldn'teat it if I had the chance. Problem is I'd have to make the burger!!!!
