Frozen Dinners: The Best?

[Donger]

Since my wife left me, I've been eating frozen dinners with greater frequency. I've found that Boston Market and Stouffers (sp?) are the tastiest.

Are there any others that you'd recommend?

Thanks.

Aren't those diet dinners?

[Lzen]

Aren't those diet dinners?

Well, they are low fat and low calories. Yes.

[Saulbadguy]

Your wife left you?

She was jealous of C4ME

[Donger]

Well, they are low fat and low calories. Yes.

And they taste good?

[Saulbadguy]

Back in the day, I used to buy a party sized Stouffers lasagna, bake it, and seperate it in to a bunch of servings. Buy a box of that garlic texas toast, and you are set for a week for under $20.

[FAX]

Sorry to hear of your wife and all, Mr. Donger.

I'm not a good person to ask since I don't eat frozen dinners very often. I usually thaw them out first.

That ****ing WHORE!

[Donger]

Your wife left you?

She'll be back. It's just a little game we play.

[mlyonsd]

Make your own meals and freeze them.

[TrickyNicky]

I used to like those kids meal things when I was young. They tasted like sh** but there was a certain joy I had in eating my food in separate compartments.

Stouffer's and Boston Market are pretty much as good as it gets unless you get a Schwann's van in your neighborhood.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Marie Calendar's stuff is pretty tasty. And I'm partial to Totino's frozen pizza.

[JBucc]

The fried chicken from Banquet used to be good, but seems to have fallen in quality as of late. I like those shrimp alfredo's from Michaleenas(sp?) too.

[stumppy]

BM and Stouffers are the best. Marie Calenders (sp?) comes in a close 3rd.

[Saulbadguy]

I used to eat Tonys pizzas frozen. I was too lazy to cook them.

[vailpass]

Stouffers frozen stuffed green peppers are pretty damn good.

[luv]

Hot Pocket (or Lean Pocket) Subs are pretty good if you need something quick and on the go.

[TrickyNicky]

I used to eat Tonys pizzas frozen. I was too lazy to cook them.
just...wow.

[Robo-Chachi]

Marie Calendor (sp?) meals are pretty good. They're mostly, if not all, Italian meals though.

Basically though it seems the market for good frozen meals for people who aren't on a diet is a largely ignored niche though. You go to the grocery store and it's either some diet meal or $1.29 stuff where the picture doesn't even look appetizing.

[mlyonsd]

Tyson and Hormel make complete dinners that you can usually find in the meat department section. Stuff like pot roast, etc. I've never had one but I've heard they are good.

[Robo-Chachi]

When I was single my diet consisted of mainly 2 meals.

1. Soup with Pilsbury biscuits/rolls/etc.

2. Baked potatoes

[JBucc]

Hungry Man and that other one that's got more food are for us fattys.

[teedubya]

Hungry Man dinners are like 2$. I fear that can not be beat.

[Robo-Chachi]

Hungry Man dinners are like 2$. I fear that can not be beat.


Now are those the "XXL-sized" portions ones or is that someone else? I thought they were more in the $5 range.

I wish they still made those Uncle Ben Rice Bowls. The fajita one was awesome.

[Frosty]

Frozen dinners? Ewwww.

Just pick up a steak on the way home, sprinkle a little cajun seasoning on it and pan fry it in butter (not margarine). Much tastier and not much more expensive. Quicker, too.

Those are actually pretty good. They also sell individually wrapped potatoes to microwave instead of bake (turn out pretty well) to go with.

[unlurking]

Or, spend a couple hours a month...

[Brock]

And they taste good?

Healthy choice has some very tasty dinners. Pretty expensive though.

[BigRock]

I agree about Marie Calendar. The spaghetti and fettucini alfredo are surprisingly good for frozen dinners, those are usually the ones I get.

[FAX]

Dang. This thread is making me hungry for some frozen spaghetti.

[DMAC]

1. Totinos Pizza Rolls and PLENTY of Ranch.

2. Plenty of RANCH

3. Big glass of cold milk.


You will forget all about your wife for 5-10 minutes.

and Donger, don't forget the ranch.

[jlscorpio]

bomb Pops are good

Have you had the lemonade ones? :drool:

[Donger]

Thanks for the suggestions, all. This one seems a bit off, however:

Healthy Choice or cans of TUNA. When I pop the top of a can of tuna, I imagine your mom wearing fishnet stockings, a red mini skirt, black stilletto pumps, with a leather whip and pink hair, stranded on a beach and surrounded by dancing clams

[chagrin]

Don't know where Nzoner is right about now, so...

"I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too
I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue."

Redrum?

He just got me:



On my summer vacation my wife caught me with a cute indian on the porch at the cabin we stayed near Spearfish Canyon. I'll never forget her, she put the POW in POW WOW..like your mom put the PEE in TEE PEE

[SPchief]

Redrum?

He just got me:


He just got me with


"your mom loves raytown."

Ghey

[KcMizzou]

GheyLMAO

Reminds me of that old "Raytown Sally" spoof.

[sedated]

cook something you pussy.

[Donger]

I do cook as well. Well, more like grilling. And now I don't have to grill chicken, which I detest eating (and preparing).

[Baby Lee]

I'm forgetting who makes them, but those bag meals with the frozen cooked pasta and frozen cubed sauce, with ingredients like shrimp and asparagus, or blackened chicken with peppers, is the bomb. A little expensive though.

But for frozen entrees in general, the discussion starts and ends with two words;

Bertolli?

[Halfcan]

Here ya go donger-a quick easy meal.

1 can of Campbells Minestrone soup.
1 bag of the Boil in the Bag rice

heat the soup in the micro while the rice boils-then when the rice is done-pour the soup over the rice for a nice tasty dinner. I add a bit of seasoning and some hot sauce.

If you grill out the night before and have an extra streak. Cut the steak in small pieces and add to the soup when it is cooking-same goes with shrimp-it is great.

Good when camping too-easy to make-and taste great out in the cold woods.

[ptlyon]

Who in the hell has leftover steak?

[mlyonsd]

Who in the hell has leftover steak?

Coming from the guy that drinks the cup of au jus that is served with his prime rib.

[Halfcan]

Who in the hell has leftover steak?

Hell even if you have half a steak and a few leftover shrimp-you cut them up and toss them in.

It is great on its own-but with the shrimp in there-it makes it excellent.

He can't help it. He has to eat with metal forks....if he uses the plastic ones he goes thru 4 or 5 in one sitting.

[JBucc]

You should also try those frozen breakfasts from Aunt Jemima. I like the pancakes. Or those Jimmy Dean skillet things.

[Baby Lee]

Bertolli?
That's Them!! (http://www.bertolli.us/dinnerfortwo/index.cfm?t=Our%20Varieties)

[Halfcan]

Here is another easy one for ya

1 can tuna or chicken
eggs
sweet pickles
Vlassic pepper slices for sandwhiches
Rooster hot sauce
Spicey Mayo

Boil the eggs, while you soak the tuna in the hot sauce. Cut up the pickles and peppers. Mix it all up like the normal Tuna salad but use the spicey Mayo. Wrap it up in a flour totilla shell or put on bread. It has a nice kick to it and only takes like 10 minutes to make.

[Halfcan]

Want Itallian?

1 jar Ragoo sauce
1 package of V's stuffed shells-frozen
1 package of ravioli-frozen-not breaded
1 Package of 3 blend Itallian cheese

Heat oven to 350, boil shells and ravioli for about 3 minutes to get soft, put in pan-cover with sauce and put the cheese on top. Cook for 15 -20 minutes. It is awesome-cheap too. Maybe $6 to $7.00 plus you usually have enough for lunch the next day. Takes like 5 minutes to make.

A heck of a lot better than the Bertandernieolli.

SOme of my family lives south of the parkville high school. they have some killer citywide garage sales up there. also, weatherbee lake is where i lost my virginity at 14 with some hot chick that lived off North Oak

Just making conversation, I guess.

Healthy choice has some very tasty dinners. Pretty expensive though.I enjoy Lean Cuisine's pasta and pizza stuff.

A couple of months ago, I discovered some South Beach Diet frozen pizzas that were pretty dasty.

Drop some of that in a tortilla with some cheese and lettuce. Kitchen to mouth in 30 seconds flat.

I had one of those Marie Calendar dinners the other night. It was pretty good but for a friggen tv dinner it sure was complicated. Pull back film over chicken, remove chicken and set aside. Replace film. Cut slit in gravy packet. Microwave 2 min. Pull back film again, replace chicken. Pull back film over potatoes, stir and replace film. Set gravy packet in separate bowl and microwave 4 more minutes. Cut corner off hot gravy packet and squeeze it on to potatoes and chicken (which is real easy after you've put a slit in the side).

Jeezus, I'll have a bologna sandwich next time.

If you wanted to go through all that, you could just cook your own.

[Easy 6]

Budget Gourmet Swedish Meatballs rock for cheap or Hungry Man Buffalo chix strips though they are kinda pricey for what you get.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Bertolli is easily the best "frozen dinner" I've had. Chicken alfredo something or other.

[blueballs]

they have some kind of frozen meals
you fix in a crockpot
can't get much simpler than that

Yes, I've noticed that there are far too many steps with that brand.

Yes, the beef ones from MC are good.

I know this is shocking, but I'm not a very easy person to live with.

I'm addicted to the Aunt Jemima frozen Breakfasts.

Need a convection oven and a microwave for quick but a regular oven will do (just takes longer)....steak fingers or precooked hot wings with Oreida tots or waffle fries in the oven...Birdseye broccoli and cheese or california blend in the microwave...all done in less than 12 min. Man can't live on TV dinners alone.
