What are the essential frozen meals?
it’s like having a bag of mcchickens at the crib. absolutely mandatory
these bird's eye chicken pasta dealies are godly
>>21610646this was once advertised by carl from aqua teen hunger forcemy other go to is the frozen chicken pot pies
someone is going to post the roundmeal maymay and I will have seen it on 5 different boards today.
>>21610646the green chili ones are better
>>21610741Have you noticed they post the same threads on multiple boards almost every day? Like it's automated>>21610762
>>21610649This is a meal for you?
>>21611073yeah like 30 of them and a pint of marinara
They can be an entire meal if that's all you eat.
>>21610646>beef, beans AND cheese but only 8g proteinit's like 80% fillers
>>21611103yes, the packaging is quite deceptive. this would not pass inspection in Japan
Best deep dish frozen pizza bar none
>>21611112lol, it’s honestly not even that deep. I’ve seen and eaten FAR FAR deeper dish pizzas
>>21611117the key word he said was frozen. your pic looks fresh or homemade
>>21611120even so, how can it be “the best, bar none” even in the lane of “frozen deep dish” when there are literally pizzas in the 4 feet deep + rangeit doesn’t make much sense
>>21610714... really? i do like their pastas
Frozen waffles, any brand. Literally cheaper than sliced bread, they're a godsend
>>21611117Detroit style deep dish is not the same as Chicago style deep dish in terms of thickness.
>>21610646
>>21610676bird's eye and bertolli are the frozen dinner goats
>>21610676>>21611804>frozen pasta for what purpose
A few of these in instant ramen is a champion's luncheon.
>>21610649These are mediocre. Friday's are slightly better, but not by much.Are there any good frozen mozzarella sticks brands? My food store only sells these two types
>>21611137yes reallyhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=007NOUGa3vk&pp=ygULYXRoZiBkZXZvdXI%3D
>>21611117That's closer to Quiche than Pizza
>>21612060interesting. probably way better than cracking an egg in my soup
>>21611804oh yeah I forgot about the Bertolli ones. That chicken florentine lives rent free in my brain>>21612005for quick one skillet preparation anon
>>21612067I haven't found a single good frozen mozzarella stick anywhere. Maybe mozzrella sticks are just something that's only good freshly cooked.
>>21611112I would totally not describe Detroit style pizza as "deep dish" ....uh no. It's light and pillowy. What is distinctive are crunchy cheese all along all crust edges. That's a good brand, btw. They used to sell at my closest Winn-Dixie (which proceeded to be bought by Aldi, and then closed permanently).
>>21610649Their cheese curds are the best.
>>21612654they are if you deep fry them.
>>21612654Every 'rella stick you eat at a restaurant is frozen unless you go to some wildy overpriced hipster place where they make their own from scratch. But you don't go to those restaurants, do you?
>>21612714a shame, it seems pretty easy to bread a cheese stick and then fry it
>>21612714My local pizza place has really good mozz sticks. Where do they get them? There's a chance they make them handmade, but I doubt it. They are too uniform and aren't THAT good.They are noticeably better than Farm Rich or Friday's frozen brands at my local grocery.
>>21612714There's a place near me that just breads and deep fries and entire wheel of fresh mozzarella. They also do an absolutely perfect veal parm hero. They're run by gangsters and it's definitely worth it.
>>21612851they deep fry them, that's the secret.
>>21612903fajitas
>>21612900an actual opponent appears
>>21612060Manna from heaven, these babies. I don't know why they even bother selling the "Italian flavor" ones that can't be combined with soy sauce for rice, mushrooms for stroganoff, or baked as is alongside potatoes.
>>21610660These are good.
>>21610646those are a scam. they never ever have that much filling, I took several of those burritos apart, and they have about 1.5 oz of filling in them. they are 90% tortilla.
>>21613028Shrinklation at work, I remember them being decent but I haven't had 'em in years now.
>>21613029it's not shrinkflation, they have been the same for 20 years.
>>21613028>scamTwelve cents an ounce makes them half the price of potato chips, plus protein.
>>21612980Girlish weakling
>>21612899Well damn. In my current living situation, deep frying isn't really an option.
>>21610762Ate 3 of these at 4am last night before I finally crashed out woke up around noon had a cup of coffee and absolutely ruined the toilet had to take a damn shower after
>>21613134https://www.reddit.com/r/frozendinners/comments/quaf6j/stoufffers_macaroni_and_beef_lol/
>>21613162how bout this Spicy Chili Noodle
>>21613162Okay, but what if I'm not in prison or overseas?
High reccomend this as passable frozen slop
>>21613191The beef taco seasoning version is passable, even just in the microwave. The other flavors I've tried are not great, even in the air fryer
>>21613122What a surprise.
>>21613228no, to me and my friend Hernan
>>21613233This is the one I was talking about. It's still available
>>21612163fucking hell lmao
>>21612900>made with real mozzarelladoes that mean the pasta and meat sauce aren't real? why did they say real mozzarella?
>>21614018>obsessed with asian cock'sWhat have you been eating that has you acting up?
>>21614274>>21614286Got to sleep Ji-hoon, this is /ck/ not /pol/
>>21610646burrito weighs 108g (3.8oz).tortilla weighs about 67g (2.3oz)leaves 42g (1.5oz) for filling.In that picture there appears to be at least 85g (3oz) of filling.it's a scam. total bullshit and a rip off.Also I have confirmed the amount of filling by measuring it.
>>21611117>I’ve seen and eaten FAR FAR deeper dish pizzaslike your mom?
>>21614339I haven't had the chimichangas but the beef and bean burrito is very okay, if you accept it that it's slop. Does it need 2-3x more meat? Yes. The wrap itself is most of it lmao.But can someone provide a better alternative? I don't think I've seen any other frozen burrito brands around my area. I'd happily pay more for something above poverty level.
>>21614311Dear Leader is eternal and transcends all board divisions.
>>21614346Tina's red hot beef is the shit, for the price at least
>>21611117Wrong type of deep dish, retard.
>>21612851The actual secret is SYSCO which you can't buy without a restaurant license. This is true of all fast food, restaurant food, hotel food, etc. Sysco or like the 2 other companies that are the same thing.
>>21614665I haven't seen those around here
>>21610649ENTER
>>21613768I like the chicken ones a little bit more than these, but they're really the way to go.>>21612900These have been steadily getting worse. The Costco lasagna is the only way to go.>>21611804>>21612529Yeah the chicken florentine with a little extra garlic salt is really damn good. I've passed it off as a real homemade meal to a girl before.Pic related is so incredibly good, but they stopped stocking them around me. I don't know if they cancelled them.
>>21614346there was a local company that made the best burritos I ever had from a 7-elev. Their chunky beef burrito, red chili burro, and green chili burro were the best. All their burritos had a proper amount of filling and big chunks of beef.of course they could not compete with companies like el montereys and their trashican food and went out of business.
>>21614769Which brand? They look too thick to be El mont.>>21614811F
>(Is the best frozen snack in you're path)I wish I could find these near me, I haven't seen them in store since I moved locations a year ago.
Pic related is pretty good but was priced around $8 last time I checked. I don't care enough to pay that much for it. I only get it if it's on a crazy sale. >>21610646>>21613191Frozen 'itos are great. Frozen 'itos are also great. >>21610676Never had that specific flavor but the bird's eye meals are pretty palatable, inexpensive and don't seem horribly unhealthy. >>21612900>>21613022These are always good.
>>21614819I forgot about these. Genuinely really good. But then one day my grocery store just stopped carrying them. I was actually pissed off.
>>21614819I'm still amazed at how well this stuff emulates middle school pizza.
>>21610714I think I've had the mac and cheese, it was really good.>>21611804the bertolli's are amazing>>21612900absolute classic that one>>21613199not a fan, takes forever to cook and doesn't have any flavor.
>>21610646Sometimes I take these, pour a can of enchilada sauce over them and top them with cheese to make cheap enchiladas. It isn't very good
The chicken is kinda bad but the pie itself is quite decadent. I would sometimes buy these, remove half of the chicken (or more), and eat it more as a dessert.
>>21611117Looks great, but >>21611112 is detroit style. Deep dish imo is a special occasion meal, but detroit I could eat every time.
For me, it’s dawg food
>>21610646i fucking LOVE frozen burritos man theyre so good. im not too picky about brands, i just microwave like 2-3 of them and then cut them up with a knife and fork and dump some sour cream and hot sauce on it. so goodother frozen staples in my opinion are-frozen breakfast sausage and frozen potatoeswhat i do is i air fry some frozen breakfast potatoes for 8min at 390f, then i dump in like 3-4 frozen breakfast sausages for another 8min at 390f (so the potatoes get 16 min total, the sausage only 8). in the meantime i dump some frozen peppers and onions into a pan and crack a few eggs on top when its all almost done. ill either dump it on a tortilla and make some breakfast wraps or just eat it like it is-frozen pizzaclassic staple, no explanation neededthats basically my freezer all the time, im here to learn from the masters
>>21615310Based collegefag
>>21615652I like cooking those in the oven, pizza pops go in the microwave.
>>21613098Grim.>>21613171Dell KB-216 keyboard spotted :-D
>>21615285Can we get additional WEF subsidised pricing?
>>21610646How has nobody mentioned Jamaican beef patties? I keep them stocked by the 10-pack at all times.
>>21613122spray them with oil out of a spritzer or a spray can before air frying them and they'll taste like they were deep fried. really soak them in oil.
>>21615713Never heard of these in my life
>>21610714I totally forgot aqua preteen hardcore force.
>>21610714they used to have pic related at my grocery store years ago and i guess they discontinued it because i haven't seen it since and it was so fucking goodi only eat 1 meal a day and back then i'd get 2 of these things and then a ~400 calorie tgi fridays southwestern beef and rice (also haven't seen at my store in years), microwave all 3 up, put on 2 plates, and cover both plates completely with mt olive diced jalapenos (would use the entire jar)legit the tastiest thing ever and i miss it dearly. also yes it made me sick to my stomach every time and i felt like shit from all the sodium but it was worth it
>>21613022these are good but that company has the worst quality control. like one out of every 3-4 of these i buy the plastic wrap isn't fully glued on. one time i bought their lasagna which is also good and it didn't even have the plastic wrap, i just threw it out wasn't gonna risk it
these things are goated
>>21615713>>21616108They're alright. Not bad for a treat.
>>21617035these lil' niggas predicted the end of the world in 2012 AND made this? goddamn
>>21610646I think the better question is “what are the easy essential late night delicious meal recipes” One u love is carbonara. Super easy, I buy the giant tub of shredded Parmesan cheese from Sam’s and keep it frozen, and I usually have bacon eggs and noodles of some kind. Super easy to throw together.
>>21616912They are really good, used to buy a bunch back when they’d go on sale for $5
>>21615310taco johns have a breakfast scrambler that's kind of what you described and not terribly hard to imitate at homeyou get a tater tot layer, covered with eggs, browned breakfast sausage and shredded cheese, salsa. Good for a couple meals
>>21610660These are so good, probably the only frozen food that completely matches it's restaurant counterpart. >>21611804>bird's eye and bertolli are the frozen dinner goatsbird's eye is meh but Bertolli is legit. It's said how expensive they've gotten though. Pre Covid they were always around 7 or 8 bucks. Now they're usually 10 at most places, although there is one grocery store near me that sells them for $8.80 pre tax. Always load up when I go there
>>21612654>>21612067well duh. every single cheese stick at the store is mediocre. my favorite were the sysco battered ones at the restaurant i worked at
>>21617639Is it just me, or are these better as leftovers the next day.
>>21617646Grim
>>21610646I always have a couple staples in the freezer, that I repeatedly buy.Frozen tostones and maduro plantains for sides to my favorite cuban night meals.Frozen ground sirloin for skillet tacos, dirty rice, picadillo or bolognese. Frozen thin ny strips for slicing up for stir fries. Turkey breasts or rump roastst to roast on sundays for lunches during the week.Marie Callendar's turkey pot pies 4 packs. Pork goya cuban tamales (great nuked with hot sauce). Pork potstickers. Bibigo korean chicken. Michelangelos eggplant parm and 3 cheese ziti larest size entree. evol butternut squash-goat cheese raviolis. Tillamook cornbread crusted macaroni w/hatch chilies. The latter are family sized sides to pop into the oven when I'm outside grillin' meat. I have an assortment of steam-in-bag veggies, but always have roasted elote corn, wild rice birds eye, pearl onions, pole beans, gumbo mix veggies w/okra, butternut squash, edamame.Tillamook coffee almond fudge ice cream, Publix seasonal or limited flavors. Frozen Minute Maid limeade. Bottles of Rumplemintz and limoncello.
>>21618331I keep the maduros in my freezer too love them.
>>21618335I just returned from a Costa Rica summer trip. I feel nostalgic missing my maduros offered all 3 meals a day while down there.
