Packaged brand meatloaf, that's easy, it's made with what they sweep up off the floor in a canned dogfood factory. Just make it yourself, it's always 100% better.
I don't know how many years I've been coming back to your channel now, but I thought since I'm here early I'll leave a comment to thank you for all the videos over the years! Some good old relaxing WolfePit has helped me get my mind in a better place countless times so seriously, thank you for everything you have done, and will do!!! Without doubt some of my favourite content on the site, so homely and enjoyable, and I can't even eat any of the foods you cover since I'm in the UK~
From what I've seen,1 dollar meals have jumped in price,I want us all know that they all are going up,if you like these wick movrowsbe mesls,nit some now and have a few in frezzer
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.
I'm in the same situation as you on a fixed budget, I buy the Oncore brand main course meals and add my own sides, they're usually about $3.50 for 6 servings except for the turkey & gravy, that one you just buy a cheap pack of turkey lunchmeat and add it to it. I also buy the Stofers family packs of chicken enchiladas but they taste horrible out of the box, so I buy two 12oz cans of red enchilada sauce and add them before cooking so it's not so bland.
Nothing beats a meatloaf sandwich on white bread with my Ma's meatloaf as leftovers. I could eat meatloaf twice a week and never get bored! Great video thank you!
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.
Robert, hope you are doing better now!!! As a former Chef, injured my back in '07, I know what is is like to cook all day or night and then not want to cook when ya get home!!! Thank God my wife is a great cook too!!!
Every chef I know has always said the exact same thing. Cooking all day makes your favorite meal something along the lines of eggs on toast or ramen noodles 😂 it makes sense to me! Hope your arm is better now, brother
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.
@@doug1863 my stepmother made meatloaf with cheese in the middle..and a ketchup sauce on top. It was spectacular and I've never had anything better since.
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.
Way back in the early 1970's Swanson had a meatball and mashed potato frozen dinner in the aluminum container. It was delicious. Their fried chicken dinner was great, too. Mr. WolfePit, thank you for sacrificing your health eating these unhealthy meals!
I was a kid in the 80s and those old tv dinners that had to actually be cooked in a real oven were great. They went to crap when the companies started catering to the microwave crowd.
Sadly, all the frozen dinners are loaded with sodium which I am not supposed to eat much of, but I do cheat once-in-awhile. Lean Cuisine is my favorite.
I eat 3 or 4 of those boston market meatloaf meals per week. I've got arthritis and cooking for myself is not really an option, and going out to eat can get really expensive! Combined with a second frozen dinner. like the Marie Calendar's cheesy chicken & rice with broccoli, it's a full meal with amazing flavor!
Arthritis is a pretty lame excuse for not cooking for yourself. The real money savings an health benefits far exceed the pain. Will only help you in the long run. JMO- just my opinion. I have arthritis as well.
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.
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 ♥
@@ryanglacier30 yes I agree 💯 the Mac and cheese taste like the og KFC Mac and cheese and the steaks has some onions on the side helps it with the flavoring.
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!
Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy them so much! I am so glad I found your channel a few years ago. I have seen every video since and go back and watch the older ones all the time. I love how entertaining you make them.
@@Soggywafflecakes They used to be much better before Nestle bought them. But still ok. Night Hawk brand is different. They even have a Mexican variety plate. From a small town, Buda, in Texas.
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.
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.
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.
When dad was out on his business trip's and the step mom was out (redacted) I was left with a freezer full of late 70's early 80's TV dinners. This episode was a remembrance of that time.
I have gotta say the quality of your videos has gotten even better I hope you never stop you deserve more views if moistcritical can make Michael superbacker a start let’s get the pit a ton of subs
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.
My "go-to" frozen meatloaf dinner is Lean Cuisine. The portions are not very big, but what they give you tastes really good. I give it a 9 out of 10. I always buy Banquet's sausage patties and maple links; they taste great and at a very reasonable/affordable price.
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.
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.
2 lbs lean ground beef 85/15 1 small onion, finely diced 1/2 cup green pepper, finely diced (optional) 1 1/2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed 3 eggs 4 oz shredded colby or cheddar 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper Glaze 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp mustard 1) preheat oven to 350 2) combine glaze ingredients, mix well 3) in a large bowl, whisk eggs, add crumbs, onion, green pepper, cheese, milk, salt and pepper 4) add beef and mix. Don't over mix 5) form a loaf on foil lined pan. 6) bake for 30 minutes 7) brush on glaze 8) bake for 30-40 more minutes 9) let stand 15 minutes
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.
To expect frozen foods to come out like the picture on the box is crazy 😂 I mean even fast foods joints can't make their foods look like the ones in the picture and commercials, and that's with someone in the back putting it together.
Well Wolfe Pit, you can't win them all in frozen food dinners, lol! 😅😅😅 I prefer a tomatoe based sauce on my meatloaf. That's how I make it when I cook. (Which 99.9% of.the time, I do). So, I know which one I'd choose! 😊 why can't they all come with corn? It'd only cost the company 3 cents to stick a couple of spoonfuls in there! The same can be said for the baked apple dessert! Plus, it makes you feel like you're getting a real complete meal. Th call it a dinner these meals should all have a veggie. I always have a veggie with every meal I cook! ❤❤❤ All together, the meals were good or they really s^cked, no surprise there. Thanks for test driving these meatloaf dinners, so we don't have to guess which ones to buy! 😊😊😊
If I'm looking for frozen meals, I usually try to avoid Banquet, although their family sized Salisbury steak is OK for the price. Individual meals usually come from your Top three, based on personal experience with the brands, and which meals I like. Glad to see our tastes are similar; it adds weight to your other reviews.
Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between the salsberry steak and the meatloaf in TV dinners. They look and taste the same. i've made both and trust me my salisbury steak didn't look or taste like meatloaf. LOL
@@Gloria-ro4vn Salisbury steak is usually served with a Beef/mushroom type gravy, meatloaf (at least in N.America) has either straight ketchup, or some kind of weird ass ketchup based gravy. This is for the frozen meals type; scratch made/homemade is usually much better, but it's cooks choice how they personally season it.
@@7891ph Never, made gravy with ketchup in my life, never knew anyone who did. Actually, No one in my family or any of our friends ever made gravy for our meatloaf. We would put tomato sauce, not ketchup on the top when baking. I'll concede most people do use ketchup. I spent my youth on grandma's farm around Purcell, oklahoma. Different States all have their own version and we all claim our version is the best.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Agreed. Most of the time when Dad made meatloaf, he didn't bother with anything on top. Mom hated it; the only time I had it was after they split up. My brother and I quickly grew to hate it was because when Dad was tired, he'd just start grabbing cans of whatever off the shelf and dumping them in. Trust me, it's as bad as it sounds (actually probably worse). There's a reason I don't touch it today.
I've eaten all these, and they are alright for a quick lunch. No comparison to what my parents used to make, but no packaged meal ever is. They are certainly better than the Hormel Completes Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes I had earlier today.

Really love this channel so much but I agree it's probably for the best not to eat these foods!

I used to eat two banquet pot pies with bbq sauce and cheetos. It was so good. Ill have to make it again sometime. Cheap too!

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...

Cold meatloaf sandwich. Classic leftover I grew up on
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.
Ive never seen meatloaf in the uk looks tasty enough so i don't know why not
Marie Callendars is another good one
I did find a great meatloaf recipe that mirrored Cracker Barrel. The secret was using Ritz crackers.
That makes sense.
I bet that does add a little sumpin sumthin!
2 lbs lean ground beef 85/15
1 small onion, finely diced
1/2 cup green pepper, finely diced (optional)
1 1/2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed
3 eggs
4 oz shredded colby or cheddar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Glaze
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp mustard
1) preheat oven to 350
2) combine glaze ingredients, mix well
3) in a large bowl, whisk eggs, add crumbs, onion, green pepper, cheese, milk, salt and pepper
4) add beef and mix. Don't over mix
5) form a loaf on foil lined pan.
6) bake for 30 minutes
7) brush on glaze
8) bake for 30-40 more minutes
9) let stand 15 minutes

Meatloaf is truly magical
I like 4 of them
Meatloafs are my fav
love the band with the same name
I missed the throwdowns. I'm glad you did one. Maybe next time you can do a fried chicken one? Thanks for the videos
You made cat food at the end, love it! XD lol
I found your channel during the pandemic
Meatloaf is American classic comfort food!!!!! Stouffer’s is 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.
❤ meatloaf is delicious!
I love cold meatloaf sammiches😍
Any loaf of meat has me ready to go! I love meat and loafs.
Oh my God ! Leftover meatloaf sandwich’s are the best.
I like the Boston Market meal, I add horseradish sauce to it 🥰
Larry, do you have a recipe video up for the meat loaf you showed at the beginning? It looked delicious!!
Textured vegetable protein tvp had to look it up, love your vids can't wait for the carnivore videos
To expect frozen foods to come out like the picture on the box is crazy 😂
I mean even fast foods joints can't make their foods look like the ones in the picture and commercials, and that's with someone in the back putting it together.
Nobody makes meatloaf like granny makes meatloaf 😋
I’ve been getting the Marketside refrigerated meatloaf from Walmart the past few months and it’s pretty killer.
Those banquet meals used to be 33cents. I remember getting 3 for a buck.
Five pot pies for a $. Good old days…
Well Wolfe Pit, you can't win them all in frozen food dinners, lol! 😅😅😅
I prefer a tomatoe based sauce on my meatloaf. That's how I make it when I cook. (Which 99.9% of.the time, I do). So, I know which one I'd choose! 😊 why can't they all come with corn? It'd only cost the company 3 cents to stick a couple of spoonfuls in there! The same can be said for the baked apple dessert! Plus, it makes you feel like you're getting a real complete meal. Th call it a dinner these meals should all have a veggie. I always have a veggie with every meal I cook! ❤❤❤
All together, the meals were good or they really s^cked, no surprise there.
Thanks for test driving these meatloaf dinners, so we don't have to guess which ones to buy! 😊😊😊

Can't go wrong with a loaf of meat
Not plant based meat like product
If I'm looking for frozen meals, I usually try to avoid Banquet, although their family sized Salisbury steak is OK for the price. Individual meals usually come from your Top three, based on personal experience with the brands, and which meals I like. Glad to see our tastes are similar; it adds weight to your other reviews.
Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between the salsberry steak and the meatloaf in TV dinners. They look and taste the same. i've made both and trust me my salisbury steak didn't look or taste like meatloaf. LOL
@@Gloria-ro4vn Salisbury steak is usually served with a Beef/mushroom type gravy, meatloaf (at least in N.America) has either straight ketchup, or some kind of weird ass ketchup based gravy. This is for the frozen meals type; scratch made/homemade is usually much better, but it's cooks choice how they personally season it.
@@7891ph Never, made gravy with ketchup in my life, never knew anyone who did. Actually, No one in my family or any of our friends ever made gravy for our meatloaf. We would put tomato sauce, not ketchup on the top when baking. I'll concede most people do use ketchup. I spent my youth on grandma's farm around Purcell, oklahoma. Different States all have their own version and we all claim our version is the best.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Agreed. Most of the time when Dad made meatloaf, he didn't bother with anything on top. Mom hated it; the only time I had it was after they split up. My brother and I quickly grew to hate it was because when Dad was tired, he'd just start grabbing cans of whatever off the shelf and dumping them in. Trust me, it's as bad as it sounds (actually probably worse). There's a reason I don't touch it today.
Second day homemade cold Meatloaf sandwich are the best.
Meatloaf is so easy, my favorite is beef with tomato sauce over the top so I can make tomato gravy.
Thank God I honed my home cooking skills, especially during the pandemic. These frozen meals are sodium bombs.
The corn in the baquet meals is the best! Its taste like steamed corn vs all the others which taste like canned corn.
Frozen meatloaf smackdown!
I just wanna say I really love your background music for some reason lol
Thanks for the recommendations . Have you seen those' Hormel Square Table' mains? I have tried a couple and they were not bad.
I've eaten all these, and they are alright for a quick lunch. No comparison to what my parents used to make, but no packaged meal ever is. They are certainly better than the Hormel Completes Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes I had earlier today.
Every Hormel Completes meal I have tried is totally un-eatable!! Just awful
Now I know which ones I'll buy next time I need to stock on good frozen dinners
