Taste exactly like Chick-Fil-A

IMO, they don’t taste like Chick-fil-A, but they are still solid. Chick-fil-A has a unique taste either due to the pickle brine or peanut oil they fry in.

ETA: we don’t eat a ton of pre-pared stuff but I do like those Bare chicken nuggets from Costco, and we’ve only had it twice but the ravioli lasagna from Costco is also very good.

I grew up eating at Bob Evans. I still go to the Wheeling (WV) location every time I pass through. Those mashed potatoes are legit.

Bob Evans was sold several years ago and their quality has gone way downhill. Their sausage is still good and the store bought variety holds up. Their blueberry hot cakes don’t compare to what they used to be. I haven’t tried their store bought mashed potatoes but I’ve considered it. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Bob Evans used to be awesome. I won’t dine in their store anymore. But I’ll still buy their sausage.

Homemade lasagna is great, but you can’t beat Stouffer’s for a quick, 2 hour lasagna. Extra meat.

It’s good. But Marie Callender’s would like a word. They include ricotta cheese. Stouffer’s doesn’t.

Not bad for a quick meal once you add some sour cream and salsa.

I only heard about these when a friend announced that they were being discontinued a few months ago.

Tyson spicy chicken patties. I cut them up and throw them on salads for cheap quick alternative to having grilled chicken breast on hand

I'd shank a bitch for a couple pans of those.

Totino's three meat pizzas, Damn they are good. I add a little extra shredded cheese and diced jalepenos. You can get 4 of them for less than $6.

Costco has some pretty damn good frozen pepperoni pizzas that we toss in the oven maybe once every 2 weeks or so just to have something fast and hot.

My wife likes their frozen Kolaches that she will take to work and nuke them to eat at her desk as she prepares for her day. She also likes the frozen jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks.

Yeah, I’ve tried a variety of frozen burritos and El Monterey is the best I’ve had. None of them are awesome but those are pretty decent, all things considered.

Completely agree.

They are made by Chef Bombay. You can buy some of their other items at Walmart and Target now.

Joe and Nellie's lime and lemon juice for all my citrus needs in recipes, marinades etc.


I like to make margaritas in the summer with fresh lime juice vs. margarita mix, because there is a huge difference. Is Joe and Nellie's good enough to make good margaritas with?

As far as French fries go, nothing beats a good steak fry, IMHO. Unfortunately, it's just not easy to do fresh. Anyone who thinks you can just slice a raw potato and fry it doesn't know anything about French fries. You'll never get that crispy outside with the soft inside that way. Minimally, you need a two-step process (boil the potatoes, then fry) but better fries are usually a three-step process (boil, fry, and then fry again). Who's got time for that?

These Ore-Ida steak fries are amazing. I deep fry them in beef tallow. You have to fry them. Don't skimp and bake them in the oven. You'll never get the desired texture/taste.

Unfortunately they stopped making these like a year ago. On family vacation with a bunch of kids this was always an easy breakfast they liked, sad it’s gone
