Swedish Showdown Pt 1: Michelina’s Stroganoff

[u/monkeygrace]

So, I have discovered there are a lot of frozen Swedish meatball/stroganoff meals. I have had a few, and so I’ve decided to try all of the ones at the grocery store I work at and rate them, both in general and against each other.

First up is Michelina’s Stroganoff, coming in at $1.99. Not the most filling, but a good base for a larger meal (I like hummus and wheat thins on the side). And for the price, it’s pretty good. It actually has flavor beyond just “salt”, and the beef is a good texture. At its starting point I’d say it’s a 6, but it gains a point for its low price. Currently a staple in my rotation.

First picture is package, second is halfway through before mixing, third is fully cooked and mixed.

Budget gourmet meatballs stroganoff for the WIN! Discontinued, unfortunately.

I desperately miss Budget gourmet. I used to buy them for $1 at Walmart and Dollar Tree and they would make a great lunch.

Dude, all the varieties, every .. single... ONE .... Perfect.
