Answer 2

There are lots of things in there that you won't have in the cabinet I'm sure. They are good, but there is not much natural in there. If you're trying to make a similar meal from scratch, dried onion soup mix is a start. Or for the Italian, try canned spaghetti sauce. Cream of any type soups with hamburger and macaroni is usually good and won't kill anyone. Just experiment. Think of foods that you like that go together and try it. Don't get too crazy though. Browned hamburger, cream of celery or mushroom soup and dried onions, pasta &top with grated cheese. Viola, cheeseburger helper type.
