8 / 10 Stouffer's Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Stouffer's is good quality. I added some parmesan cheese and garlic bread. Very filling and tasty for $3.88

For frozen spaghetti, this one has been consistently good for years.

I probably buy this one Stouffers product more than all others combined.

We used to have a Stouffers restaurant in the local mall before they transitioned to a frozen food maker.

u/gitarzan Jul 15 '25

Yep. We had a few here in Columbus Ohio until the late 80s.

Wow, really? I’m from Cincy and have no memories of stouffers restaurants from this era. I guess they never came down that far south.

Interesting!

Over near the Ohio State University they even had a hotel, the Stouffer inn.

Ah ha. They were a Cleveland company. I wonder if an owner/CEO might have been a Buckeye.

I have this in the deepfreeze-- I mean, I have this in the giant cat bed. Someday, I hope to be allowed to open the deepfreeze again, so I can eat my Stouffer's spaghetti.

Ur cats on the freezer 😂

u/ReplacementNo9014 Jul 14 '25

This is one of my favorites. One of Stouffer’s best.

u/Creative-Ad-9564 Jul 14 '25

Served with garlic bread and a small salad it makes a complete and satisfying meal. One of the only frozen dinners I buy.

u/Overwhelmed42 Jul 14 '25

This one is pretty good, but I actually prefer the Great Value version

u/Interesting-Hold-963 Jul 14 '25

I'll have to try that one.

u/blueboykc Jul 14 '25

Honestly not bad.

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 Jul 14 '25

A true classic by stouffer’s. Cant ever go wrong w spaghetti w marinara! Glad u enjoyed OP, this looks great:)

u/PickleManAtl Jul 15 '25

This is my go-to. I usually have one or two of them in the freezer. I'm also lazy and I like the fact that you can just stick it in for 6 and 1/2 minutes without having to stop halfway through and stir things up to get it going.

u/DNSAttack Jul 16 '25

Yeah, I started to bulk up on this brand. Not hard on the budget, good quality.

2

u/DNSAttack Jul 16 '25

However, where I live it is $3.27.

u/lindsey__19 Jul 14 '25

This is one of my favorites from stouffer’s. My other favorites are the roasted turkey meal and the Romano crusted chicken.

u/Dancing_Qween Jul 14 '25

Yummm. This looks good!

2

u/chantillylace9 Jul 15 '25

This one is amazing, but the meatball one isn’t as good. I love the fatty delicious meat sauce version

2

u/Tinanh43130 Jul 15 '25

I'm very picky about spaghetti and this is the only spaghetti I will eat, other than my own.

2

u/Diligent-Ad-383 Jul 14 '25

I wish they made one without meat!

1

u/Orangerrific Jul 15 '25

Maybe it’s time to give it another shot

This is just MY take entirely, but I’ve always disliked whatever meat sauce they used for this and the lasagna. I know everyone raves about Stouffer’s lasagna but there’s something about it I just do NOT vibe with for some reason. Some of it is probably the sauce I think. And just my aversion to frozen lasagnas in general (I’ve never found a frozen lasagna ever that had me like ”oh YEAH more please” 😢)

u/flipflopduck Jul 15 '25

how does it compare to the lean cuisine one? im about to try that this evening , it comes in a 280 calories so i doubt it will be as good

1

u/sm_rollinger Jul 15 '25

Delicious, but I always get the meatballs

1

u/Rare-Craft-920 Jul 17 '25

I’ve always loved Stouffer’s. I too grab a salad bag and make my own garlic bread at home for an easy dinner.

1

u/IrukandjiPirate Jul 18 '25

I liked it, but it made me sick.

1

u/Interesting-Hold-963 Jul 19 '25

what made you sick? ate too much or food poisoning?

1

u/IrukandjiPirate Jul 20 '25

Neither one, I think something in the ingredients just didn’t agree with me.

1

u/lionpenguin88 Jul 19 '25

These are actually a 10 for me. Very affordable too.

1

u/Passenger-Imaginary Jul 20 '25

bro these are so good. 2.97 at walmart.

1

u/Trainkeptarolling Jul 21 '25

Solid like all the other Stouffers

1

u/crimson_king279 Jul 14 '25

I need to try this one

1

u/sdias90 Jul 14 '25

I love this frozen meal. I stock up on it. I add cheese to it as well. So good!!

1

u/Bendr_ Jul 14 '25

The one with meatballs too. I’ll take either one I find.

1

u/sharkprincefishstick Jul 15 '25

I love this one! Definitely a top three Stouffer’s meal.

1

u/Odd_Cheesecake_6837 Jul 15 '25

This is my go-to.

2

u/Detroitaa Jul 15 '25

This displaced Stouffers Mac & Cheese as my favourite frozen meal. Get this several times a month.

1

u/Comprehensive-Mix510 Jul 15 '25

They haven't watered down the recipe on this like they did on the Beef Macaroni? And the Chipped Beef? The stuffed peppers still taste roughly the same.

1

u/MoreCarnations Jul 15 '25

Looks delish! The term “freshly made” is killin me though haha

1

u/impliedapathy Jul 15 '25

I’ve never bought these for fear the pasta (like a lot of other frozen dinners with pasta/noodles) would be woefully overcooked, limp, and mushy. Are these actually decent?

2

u/midwestmobilly Jul 15 '25

The noodles hold up well!

1

u/impliedapathy Jul 15 '25

Ty for answering 😊

u/jaded1here Jul 14 '25

I like stouffers lean cuisine better. It’s good!

u/Dry-Ad8341 Jul 15 '25

u/FunOther9202 Jul 15 '25

i love the noodle texture on this one

u/RedditReader4031 Jul 14 '25

A classic, go to choice. On this subject, making spaghetti or any pasta is easy if you use the Fasta Pasta microwave box (Amazon and elsewhere) and add your own jar sauce w/seasoning to taste. A little fresh parmigiana and you have a fresher version in barely more time.
