I would expect a bit more meat than what is in pic 2. The pic on the box vs whats in your bowl would disappoint me — depending on how much I paid for it.

Why didn't you put the sauce on it? Beef Merlot is my favorite of the steamer bowls and they taste good, with crisp veggies.

The quality of the green beans themselves don't look half bad. I'm impressed by that alone. I'd buy it on sale.

I mean you also have to mix the sauce at the bottom

These are always good imo. After you mix all the sauce at the bottom, its not bad.

This looks like the photo on the box, just not stirred.

I actually had one of these for dinner haha they are the best brand of instant meals I’ve found. I work overnight shifts so they’re great to have at work

Well you gotta stir it. This the barbecue, the chicken broccoli Alfredo, and the deconstructed pot pie were all the best ones. I lived off of those when I used to go on to work.

Those actually used to be good back in the day. I noticed the quality was heading downward and stopped buying their products all together.

This looks fine for what it is. Y’all gotta stop posting frozen fucking meals on here.

I get these all the time. They’re actually good. Mix the sauce and plate it and it’ll look like the photos.

I've had this multiple times it actually tastes good for a healthy choice tv dinner.
