Marie Callender’s Savory Swedish Meatballs Bowl

Marie Callender's Savory Swedish Meatballs Bowl

Marie Callender’s original and seemingly discontinued Swedish Meatballs meal was a favorite of mine. This Bowl version looks the same, but she must’ve changed the recipe or something. The taste is bland in comparison. The Meatballs are (still) good, but the pasta and sour cream sauce are, despite the name, rather unsavory. Perhaps she ran out of seasoning.

Marie Callender’s Three Meat And Four Cheese Lasagna

Marie Callender's Three Meat And Four Cheese Lasagna

This frozen lasagna, which is one of Marie Callender’s best grocery store values in regard to net weight, is about as good as any I’ve had. Once cooked, it tastes and looks freshly made; sloppy layers of noodle sheets with a hearty marinara sauce.

The main cheeses are ricotta and mozzarella; parmesan and Romano are barely there; so the Four is a marketing misnomer. There are also more than Three meats; Italian sausage, pepperoni, beef and pork; but I guess the latter two are combined as one.
