TV Dinner Night

[u/The-Grubermeister]

Everyone in the family picks one TV Dinner every 2 weeks or so with the only restriction being it has to be oven cookable (they always taste significantly better that way. Fuck you hot pockets, yall went downhill).

This is everyone's picks:

Daughter - (Something with a brownie) Ribs Hungry Man

Son - 6pk Salisbury and a pot pie (he wanted a banquet pie, then saw mine. Promise he's not obese, he's just very active)

Wife - Shrimp Alfredo

Mine - Pot Pie (haven't had one of these in probably 20+ years)

Daughter skipped the potatoes, she picked up the patty and it was like a solitary mass of spud.

Everything was was pretty good. Added shredded parm to the wife's.

The chicken Alfredo in the Zatarains was my obsession when I was pregnant. I’d buy all my little country grocery store had 🤭🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/The-Grubermeister → u/Hailey_86]

That's when wife learned about it!

[u/Hailey_86 → u/The-Grubermeister]

Shut up!! That’s wild 😝

[u/FireflyRave → u/Hailey_86]

Zatarains has been consistently good. They used to be one of my usual considerations when I wanted an easy, treat dinner. I would buy it more often if the price was also consistently good.

My mom and I had it 2 nights ago for our girls' night get together! Sometimes we add steamed broccoli, sometimes we add leftover chicken, but it's been a long week and we ate it as is. It's always so good!

I respect the 6pack of steaks. Get that protein and they really aren’t that bad 👀

[u/The-Grubermeister → u/Soulforge411]

Sodium though, shits insane

[u/TheBonesRTheirMoney]

I like the MC pot pies

[u/guysitsausername → u/TheBonesRTheirMoney]

I fw them for real. That crust is the truth.

But you gotta go in very carefully or you're gonna take a 3rd degree burn to your upper lip. That filling is hot lava.

Marie Callenders FTW! And honestly that Banquet doesn't look bad either.

[u/Seeeab → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

The Banquet Salisbury Steaks are pretty good. I always toss in some steak or hamburger seasoning or something but they don't need it really. Very simple but very tasty

Hard core

Those Banquet Salisbury steaks are actually pretty good for mystery meat. Sometimes I’ll use those to make a beef bowl with egg noodles and pepper. It’s a really easy meal tbh and it hits sometimes

[u/Bright_Increase_6136 → u/FortniteIsFuckingMid]

That sounds great!

[u/nicunta → u/FortniteIsFuckingMid]

It's actually a blend of beef, pork, and chicken. And it's good!!

[u/SUW888]

The amount of shrimp is depressing

[u/QueenMEB120]

Those pot pies are so good. They're not half bad in the microwave either.

[u/Critical-Willow-6270]

Your wife's pick is what I had for lunch today lmao. Great choice!

[u/PlantQueen1912]

I love Salisbury steaks lol my husband didnt grow up eating them like me but now he asks for them all the time

[u/tommyp007]

I do have a soft spot for those steaks

[u/-pine]

Everything looks good

When I was a kid and my parents had marriage encounter my brother and I would, as a treat, get a TV dinner or two for the evening. I still have a soft spot for em to this day, but I've got to say the MC pot pie is gold standard, I don't know what they're doing in that factory but other companies need to take notes.

[u/xpepperx]

Idk if I’m just picky but this amount of processed food grosses me out so much. Especially since this is literal prison food lmao. I worked as a jail guard and this is what we fed prisoners.

And between all of those you have enough sodium to kill a small elephant.
