Marie Callender's Swedish Meatballs & Pasta Review
I would have preferred to make a homecooked dinner tonight but had a bunch of errands to run this evening and just didn't have time (I will tomorrow though). Needing something simple, I picked up Marie Callender's Swedish Meatballs & Pasta for my wife and me.
While it wasn't the best Swedish meatballs I've ever had, they weren't terrible and even exceeded my expectations.
Preparation of the dinner was easy enough. It was just a matter of putting it in my microwave for about 13 minutes, stirring halfway through. I didn't need to follow a bunch of separate steps (as is the case with some frozen dinners) and this was done in a timely fashion.
As far as taste goes, there was no doubt it was a frozen dinner. However, the flavor was OK and, unlike what I had expected based on past experiences with products like this, it wasn't super salty. Plus, there were plenty of meatballs. Many more than I thought there'd be.
There was just the right amount of food in this dinner as well. We didn't have any leftovers, but it was reasonably filling, and we weren't hungry afterwards. It was on sale for a little less than $9 so I thought the value was decent as a result.
Final Opinion: It's probably not something I'd buy on a regular basis, but it proved to be a decent choice for tonight. That's enough for me to recommend it as an easy dinner option.
My Grade: B
