Frozen Food Aisle

[here_for_the_hawkeyes]

I usually just stick to pizza, but as a poor, I was looking for something cheap to mix it up this weekend. Tried Stouffer's frozen enchiladas I have to say they were actually pretty good with sour cream and salsa added on. Anything else I'm missing out on in the frozen aisle? Do I dare try the White Castle sliders?

The White Castle burgers will be disappointing. Stouffer's has an excellent lasagna, but it's a notch below Costco's brand however.

You know how easy it is to make lasagna and hamburgers at home, right?

Edit -I see those are enchiladas, not lasagna. Either way, I bet you’d do better making those at home.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

I dont even walk down the frozen food aisle

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Ice cream is the only reason for a frozen food aisle.

Somebody thinks they are pretty cool because they ride in the cart.

Lasagna is a pain in the ass. Sauce, water, noodles, what kind of cheeses? Frozen is so much easier.

This was much easier, cleaner, and less expensive than making chicken enchilada's from scratch, especially now that we have a baby in the house we don't have time to be making big messes and taking forever to cook things. I rate these a 7/10 on the scale of tastiness, 10/10 on ease and affordability.


I take it you guys also shun Friday's frozen appetizer lineup? Another cheap, easy, and delicious snack.

You haven't had my wife's lasagna (no pics), it's nothing special.

Her enchiladas however are awesome.

Stouffer’s Mac & cheese is legit. It’s not on par with Luby’s, but close.

No, im pretty cool because not a fat arse

Their restaurants cant stay open how good can their frozen meals be?

Well, they're not meals they're appetizers. The jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks are good. I'm sure the loaded fries and green beans are good, although I've never tried them. I'd stay away from the chicken products.

 

[Kozisek]

I do stuff like this. Bag to table in 10 minutes. In terms of sheer handiness, 10/10. Bunch of different kinds of flavors etc.

Worried about shrinkage?

I'll second that on the Stouffer's lasagna. It was one of those weird special purchase deals at Menards one time that I stocked up on, and I was delighted when I got around to actually making them. I wish I'd stuffed more of those in the freezer. At regular price it's not really an economical buy, but it is a surprisingly good product.

jfc people are pretty sensitive about their jalapeno poppers around here

You're eating that many calories of a frozen meal before eating another frozen meal?

I am in fact a physically healthy person if that's what you're worried about

One's financial status should not matter when investigating grocery store food choices. Even if you weren't a poor, you should be able to eat something that looks appealing. Taste buds don't always know your bank balance.

Well, maybe you should give them a try sometime before pre-judging. Might open your eyes a little. #MondayMotivation

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

I’ll grab those Friday’s appetizers once in awhile, usually the jalapeño poppers. Throw those in the air fryer

 

[Saint Louis Attorney]

These in the air fryer

When I was on vacation, I always had a box of the White Castle Jalapeno Cheeseburgers in the freezer. Good quick snack.

These are very good and low-calorie as well:

There is a joke here that needs made. I’m lazy tonight.

Frozen lasagna at Menards? Am I reading that right?

 

[jberesford]

Yes. Have you been inside one? The grocery section is hardly a new thing.

It's not a replacement for a grocery store, but I get a ton of stuff like frozen pizzas, snack food, candy, etc. when I'm there. Very handy if you are there regularly for work related stuff.

The WCB's are a good substitute when you live where there is no White Castle. The frozen WCBs are better than Krystal.

 

[The Tradition]

Is this considered "processed food"? I hear that stuff will make you fat.

[The Tradition]

God no! That's the stuff they scraped off the floor after making "real" fish.

The only frozen foods I buy are ice cream and French fries. Frozen foods are horrendous.

It's been years since I've been in one. I suppose for quick stuff like that it makes sense, just hadn't occurred to me.

You're an elitist.

While Trad is a tad bit exaggerating, anything labeled "fish" is going to be the worst fish/fish parts you can possibly imagine. Carp, sheepshead, bullheads, etc.

When I was growing up, at our cabin there were a couple professional net fishermen we knew. I went out pulling in nets with them a few times. They'd toss literally everything netted into the boat, then haul out the boat and go straight to the fish market. They'd toss every fish they caught into scales, get paid by the pound, then the fish were packed in ice and sent to Chicago.

I asked, what happens then? The reply I got was "fish sticks".

You're probably better off getting something specific, such as cod etc...especially if it's denoted as 100% fillets. I've had these before...not bad at all.
