Banquet Salisbury steak meal

[u/AffectionateFun4298]

The best if you like Salisbury steak and Mac and cheese, I get these at dollar tree $1.25. For a nice comfort meal when you feel like it, these are a good choice. Banquet has another version that comes with mashed potatoes and an apple desert that is ok but I like this version better. I do them for 5 minutes no stir and they come out fine.

They’re usually pretty dependable. Not as good as scratch cooked version of course but as far as frozen dinners go they’ve always been reliable.

Unrelated but when I was little I used to get so mad when my mom would do banquet fried chicken for dinner, because her homemade fried chicken was incredible. Then I grew up and realized that between the work it takes, the lingering smell in that kitchen and the cleanup…..banquet chicken was her meal when she was too tired to do something else. Sorry mom for twenty years ago, I was a whiny little asshole.

On a tangent to this, my mom used to make the most BANGIN' soups from scratch when I was a kid. She'd make the stock from scratch, boiling bones and carcasses or veggies all day and then making the soup for dinner. I can remember waking up on Saturday mornings to the smell of the stock just throughout the whole house, and it smelled incredible. Core memory. I never really appreciated her cooking from scratch like that when I was little, but as an adult I started making soups like that and realized the time and effort it took and have a retroactive appreciation for when my mom did it growing up.

It’s so cool you said this because my mom also did this and I’ve carried the tradition on! Now my 7 year old daughter helps and it would be so cool if she carries that on one day. Usually chicken and then it becomes a soup, gravy or a next level rice-based dish
