I appreciate your work. I am a widow, senior citizen, on a fixed income. I eat a lot of Banquet products. I know you get what you pay for, and I have never hated any of Banquet's products. Sometime I get Hungry Man meals, they have about twice as much and cost twice as much. Some of us eat the Banquet meals for lunch and Hungry Man for supper. I don't make too many of your recipes because I cook, when I can, for one. But I love watching you cook . Keep up the good work.

Homemade ONLY, cold . You can never eat a cold meatloaf TV dinner.

After being a chef. For over 40 years, he would think that these frozen dinners would be the very last thing I would ever consider eating. However, the truth be known. when my wife and I separated and I lost my house to bankruptcy and was living in a rat infested apartment. The last thing I wanted to do after a 12 hour shift cooking was to cook for myself. So I turned to frozen microwave mules. I ate so many banquet and Stovers meals. Anne Marie Callenders. I wouldn't even be able to count. One thing I'll say is if you're going to eat these things, keep the saltshaker hidden. Do not reach for it. You will never need it somehow. Some of them are great. Some of them are crap, but they're convenient. And if you're tired or you don't have the items on hand to prep they certainly fill the need. When I can cook for other people, family and friends, I will always. cook from scratch. But when is just me and nobody to impress? This is good enough for me. Larry is always thank you. By the way, I'm now even more disabled with a broken arm. So I'm down to using my left hand for everything which makes it almost impossible to write. Cut, even open a bottle cap. So these frozen meals are coming in handy once again. Love you, Larry. Take care, your friend. Rob.

The Boston market meatloaf is delicious for a frozen dinner. But the salt is off the charts.

I use Leftover Meatloaf as a Patty Melt and it's absolutely my favorite Hot Sandwich!!! Try it and You'll thank me, I Promise!!!

I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. This made me appreciate the hospital food! I realize it varies a lot by hospital. I was in Minneapolis. The worst thing I have to say is, because it is a huge hospital, the food was sometimes lukewarm by the time I received it. But nothing I ordered was terrible. It made being in there a lot more bearable.

Another great video. Sometimes when I think I’m hungry, I watch some of your reviews again. And then I lose my appetite and don’t want to eat. 😂. Thank you very much. It has become a very successful weight loss program for me. 😱

A cold meatloaf sandwich on toasted white bread slathered in ketchup is heaven to me. The only sandwich that tops it to me is a tomato sandwich (homegrown tomatoes) on toasted white bread with mayonaise and salt and pepper. I actually prefer my metloaf cold the next day.

I don't care for ketchup on meatloaf. I like either honey bbq sauce or brown gravy; it depends on which I have on hand when I make meatloaf...

I havent had a legit frozen dinner outside of one extremely freak scenario for like 25 years but when I was a kid I would legit eat those Marie Callendar meals as after school snacks. Loved that salty goodness and they genuinely seemed a step above others back then.

I love meatloaf. However, these days meatloaf is so dry that you need to add gravy or ketchup. That, or it's so spicy you're gonna need some heavy milk to wash it down. As a kid, my Grandma always made the best meatloaf. She was an awesome cook. The memory of her made me shed a tear. She died in 2019 at the age of 100.

Meatloaf is called ‘imitation/faux hare’ in Danish 🤗 I was SO confused as a child, and slightly disappointed when I was told that it’s ‘just’ beef or pork... this repeated when I had mock turtle soup!

Stouffer's meatloaf is one of the few frozen meals I still eat regularly. It's pretty good.

These kind of packed frozen food is good if one is homeless but has access to a mic or maybe disabled but still can operate a mic. All the other people who have got an hour can make a good meatloaf. I appreciate these packed meals also I never had them cus I am European. I love these videos it's comforting to watch. Thanks for sharing ♥

I can watch your videos for hours on end! Thanks for all you do, friend.

2000 mg of sodium is what the FDA recommends per day, but it is killer, go 1250-1500 mg and you will feel a hell of a lot better. I personally had to do a low sodium diet because I lived with my very ill mother. But once we started it, it helped all of our heath out. Dont stock up on salt/sodium. Use things like Ms's Dash for seasoning if you have a issue with less salt. It will help the transition.

The sacrifices you make for us, the people, are very much appreciated!

Love this series! Great job

The Banquet Meals and Marie Calendar Meals are both produced by the same company, ConAgra Brands. Boston Market Frozen Meals are made by Bellisio Foods (Micheinas, Eat, Quest, Atkins, White Castle (Frozen sold IN stores) and Authentic Asia). Stouffer's is made by Nestle.

Totally agree with you on this one. I love your videos 😊

I love these comparison videos.

Thanks again for this channel. When a lot of people are working two jobs, and are pressed on their food budget one can understand why such pre-prepared and highly processed meals get bought. I need to sit down and see how much it would cost to make home-cooked versions using budget ingredients and some meal prep containers.

I love it I just got. Home and my wife made meatloaf. Perfect timing.

Thanks again Larry! Great job.

Based on this video I tried the Boston Market meatloaf entree and thought it was very good. Much better than the Banquet version I have been buying.

the way my family does Meatloaf is Eggs, Ground Beef, Seasonings and Saltine Crackers mixed together . i definitely dont complain about it, due to how the leftovers make a tasty sandwich, especially if you got american sliced cheese and ketchup.

The everyman's chef!

A few months ago I'd have been all over this. Now I'm trying to lose weight so it's all lean cusine meatloaf. All 9 ounces of it (and mashed potatoes).

Well after having tried each of the listed meatloaf, I recommend the Stouffer's meat loaf. Only has mash potatoes with it but I always add another veggie of some sort and I have used one meal for two different servings/meal times since they have two pieces of loaf. The Niblet Corn and Green beans are to spongy and tasteless for my pallette, definitely suggest ditching them and using the microwave steam bag green giant or birds eye veggies instead. Makes a whole world of difference.

I love cold meatloaf sammiches😍

Let's mix them all together at the end. Great stuff.

My mom put dry oats and Italian cheese in her meatloaf..I do the same thing. Thanks mom!!!❤

I Like frozen dinners sometimes. I think hormel meatloaf is also good. I do like Boston market and stouffer’s though. Very good review. Thanks

I put it right out of the tv dinner cooked onto a cheap bun and I’m as happy as can be, it reminds me of school hamburgers back in the 60s

Now i gotta make meatloaf and mashed potatoes tomorrow with beef gravy. I got good golden potatoes this week , so im pretty excited!

I like the Stouffer’s meatloaf, but I scrape the gravy off and put ketchup on it. It’s pretty tasty 😋

Oh my God ! Leftover meatloaf sandwich’s are the best.

I would eat Stouffer's meatloaf in my college days. It was pretty good, although nothing ever compares to Mom's meatloaf (every family had one). I could eat that straight up with no gravy or ketchup. She threw at least half a dozen things into the chop meat and glazed it with sauce. It was so tender and moist, and great with potatoes and vegees. None of the frozen meatloafs can even get close but the taste of the Stouffer's loaf was the best in my opinion.

I remember hating the taste of the meatloaf my mom made while I was growing up. It was topped liberally with ketchup, but it was never inviting to my taste buds; it was very bland. These days, I know how to cook and have a pretty good grasp of seasoning my food. I'll have to see if she still makes it so I can improve it for myself with more nutritious ingredients.

The lean cuisine high protein meatloaf was surprisingly good

Great stuff Larry, thx! I'm really surprised you don't have a Mega sponsorship from a microwave oven manufacturer.

I’ve been getting the Marketside refrigerated meatloaf from Walmart the past few months and it’s pretty killer.

Swanson veal parmigiana was awesome way back in the day and that was pretty damn delicious for a veal patty. I'm sure people liked them because my older brother and I always preferred that tv dinner as kids. Breaded veal patty with red sauce and cheese was an Italian meatloaf!!

You made cat food at the end, love it! XD lol

I miss the frozen meatloaf meals when they had the tomato gravy on it. Only thing I really buy from Banquet anymore is the Salisbury Steak because I love the gravy. The Stouffers meatloaf is pretty good. So is the Armor meatloaf in the refrigerated section.
