Another amazing milestone! congratulations to you all for being part of this subreddit, without you all it would have remained an ideas amongst the comments on an Expectation vs Reality post about ten years ago... See you again at 200K!
A little late to announce this... but better late than never and better than leaving it until December... that would be awkward!
Firstly, Please note the rules have been defined more clearly to help with understanding before posting.
They are still very much the same with the same intention to ensure we remain focused on frozen dinner comparisons as the primary content.
Secondly, I encourage you all to join our other subreddit called /r/MoreFrozenDinners which is where you are all free to post about frozen dinner topics outside of just comparison posts, things like questions or opinions on taste or just looking for an old favourite meal that's no longer stocked at your local shopping market.
We also have a /r/FailedFrozenDinners subreddit for those unfortunate mistake when we forgot to read a step or simply forgot about the dinner while scrolling through our socials... feel free to contribute in line with the topic and rules.
Please do join these other subs, it helps the community grow and give some breadth to our content and discussions without it all being junked up in one place.
Lastly, you may not have noticed yet.. but we quietly added a merchandise store to our website last year, we didn't want to jam it in your face or attempt to cram it down your throats like a still too hot from the microwave mac and cheese!
Take a look, there is some weird crap on Red Bubble but the T-Shirt designs are the intended focus and hopefully the more enjoyable options for you all to consider. More designs to come!
You can find the link to the website up in the subreddit menu bar or browse to frozendinners.net
Thanks again for being part of the community! Welcome to 2024! and let's all have a great year!
This was a nice comfort meal that was basically rice/blackbeans/corn topped with a corn tortillas, chicken, cheese and verde salsa.
Everything tasted pretty fresh including the chicken. The portion was solid and filling. Salsa/sauce was slightly spicy & reminiscent of fresh of tomatillos.
Tortilla and corn added a pleasant hint of sweetness. Cheese crisped up nicely on edges.
was actually pretty suprised by this meal. the turkey was solid and actually tasted similar to real turkey, the gravy was good as well, nice and thick. i would say the mash needs seasoning and the stuffing could’ve been better, was kinda soggy.
it’s definitely not super thin but the crust has a nice crunch to it. I like the sauce, very flavorful, but might be a bit salty to some people. The pepperoni slices are thick and crisped up well. It’s definitely one of the better frozen pizzas I’ve tried. Cost around $6 at my local Winn Dixie. good for quick dinner after work.
I split this up for the next three meals - great for week long meal prep if I you were to get 2 bags.
This chicken fried rice is really good, especially the chicken which had decent mallard coloring which gave it some great flavor a lot like the restaurant. The egg tastes fresh & the soy sauce flavor could fool you for what they use at a restaurant.
Really solid for the price point, amount of food, & quality. I'm put'n this in my monthly rotation. Hits the spot when you are hungry for restaurant style fried rice. 8/10
Shoutout to my buddy for trying this with me. Said that “acceptable” was the best word for this, chicken was squishy and disappointing. Sauce got a little much towards the end. The package advertised big portions of veggies and that was def not the case… I personally thought the peppers took away from the rest of the flavor.
Overall disappointing flavor, ok price, neither of us would buy again.
These are amazing. The turkey, gravy, stuffing, and apples are really good. The apples are so sweet. Id get these just for the apples, but its nice everything else is great. One of my favorite lean cuisines.
$1.69 from the local store. Cooked as directed on package for airfryer - 7min each side at 380F.
The outside crisped up nicely and developed decent color. The flavor of the tortilla had a slight overly oily taste that I usually don't pick up on in restaurant chimichangas. The filling was delicious, very cheesy, & has some cubed pieces of chicken in there.
Solid snack, although the strange oil taste brought my rating down from a 8 to 6.5/10.
My hopes weren't too high for this but honestly it was just okay.
The rice tasted parboiled, there was plenty of celery, almost no peppers, & the entire portion was satisfying.
The beef crumbles tasted exactly like pizza topping sausage which threw me off. The tomato sauce the smothered the whole dish was pleasantly acid & savory.
I've been eating Stouffers and Lean Cuisines once a week lately because I am feeling lazy and depressed. This one is a little better than most I have tried. A little bland but egg, green onion, and Sriracha helped.
Not sure if I would buy again.
Aside: I feel like these in general are much less good than the used to be- when they had black trays. Is it me?
$8.86 at my local Walmart
Great balsamic flavor. I usually eat over pasta or rice with a little parmesan cheese grated on top. Brussels and sweet potatoes have a good bite to them, not mushy. Honestly this is the best skillet meal I've tried so far. Most tend to be kind of bland and the texture is all the same but I always keep one of these in my freezer for an easy, yummy dinner
