What frozen dinners in stores are the best? I'm really interested in Mexican and Chinese food. But even if not these who makes the best store bought foods?

They have these Cajun meals that come with everything in separate bags. (sauce, rice/noodles. meat, veggies) and with Magic seasoning. I can't remember the name, but my non-cooking friends have them and they are legit.

Zatarain's Chicken Pasta Alfredo isn't too bad, IMO. Stouffer's Mac & Cheese is legit.

I don't think I've ever tried any Mexican or Chinese frozen food though--just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

Michelangelo's meat lasagna is good.

Zatarain's blackened chicken alfredo is good.

You can get both the above at Sam's in packages containing two 16 oz trays for around $12.

I gave up on those frozen bag dinners by Bertollini and others that you stir fry. They're decent every once in a while, but for just a little extra effort, you can do a lot better with the non-frozen box kits and fresh chicken or shrimp. The Macaroni Grill chicken picatta is really good, and Wanchai Ferry has some good ones, too. I do these once or twice a month, and I'll be making the Kung Pao chicken next.

I have to agree. I cook 95% of the time, but if I want a break I'll choose Stouffers Lasagna. I love Italian food and it's about as tasty as mine with a lot less hassle.

Stouffers sandwiches and paninis are really good.

I like the Richards Cajun bowls too. Most are under 400 calories and nice size portions.

State fair corn dogs are my easy lunch back up- but they have to be cooked in the oven to taste ok

Hungry Man aren't half bad for the price (by price, if you can find them for 2.50 or so)

I've found that NO Chinese frozen dinners are good.
But Lucy and I really like Don Miguel's Chicken Mini-tacos. A bit high on salt. No cheese.




This is what the package looks like but it's not the chicken tacos. The only pic I found of chicken mini tacos is so large it would mess up the thread.

Amy's Kitchen makes great Mexican frozen dinners. Actually I haven't had an Amy's product that was not good. Their products are organic/natural/vegetarian or vegan depending on what you get but you wouldn't know it from the taste. Kashi makes great frozen dinners and pizzas as well.
