FDR #2: Harris Teeter Swedish Meatballs
I give this meal 3 stars. ***
NOTE: Harris Teeter is a grocery store in DC and I think NC. I don’t know if it appears anywhere else. Please comment your location if you know of other places. Thanks!
This meal was really cheap. $2.00 each on sale. But now I know why. It was a wee freezer burnt (and I have one more left to eat!). For a change, I actually made it in a conventional oven, just to try it out. I must admit, that’s the only reason I noticed the freezer burn at all. Usually in the microwave, the noodles get a little tough so you don’t notice the texture change. I highly recommend making your frozen dinners conventionally every once in a while. Microwaves are interesting, but they are texture killers.
Taste wise, it was creamy and noodley and I could definitely see myself getting this meal again. There were at least 5 meatballs, maybe even 6. Your reviewer was distracted by her old Wall Street Journals and forgot to count them for this review. But I think they were bigger than the meatballs in Stouffer’s version of the meal, although I think I prefer the Stouffer’s one on flavor and IIRC, they have mushrooms in their meals too. All things are relative and I would say that there are better Harris Teeter flavors out there than this one, hence only 3 stars.
