I love this plate! Yes, it’s a small portion but just enough to get you through a work shift. It’s my go-to when I don’t feel like spending money on fast food.

Not bad. I bought it again if that tells you anything. I added extra shredded cheese of my own to it

It's fuel for something quick, but it doesn't taste like anything. I had a grate or two of cheese on mine so I added parmesan and cracked pepper. To those who said their smelled like dog and tasted foul, you definitely had a rotten batch. It's not disgusting, but it's not yummy. It doesn't have a taste. This is what I imagine baby food pasta tastes like. Bland.

It is edible I'll say that much. But it kinda smells. Almost like wet dog. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they are seriously starving and no other food exists

I found the smell of this macaroni and beef frozen dinner very unpleasant. It raised concerns about the quality of the meat used in the dish. Unfortunately, I could not overlook the smell and ultimately decided to put it down the garbage disposal. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this frozen dinner to others or choose it again.
SOOO BLAND

This meal is AWFUL to the point I got food poisoning with sweats and nausea within minutes of eating this meal. Not only do I NOT recommend, I am filing an official complaint with Target and the manufacturer of this product. In reading through the other reviews, this product should be PULLED from shelves and investigated. I wished I read the reviews before buying DO NOT BUY THIS!

The beef smells and tastes weird. The smell reminds me of when I dog just went for a walk. Pasta and sauce were good.

I purchase this dinner repeatedly but this time when I opened the box to prepare my supper the tray was filled with marinara sauce but, even looking at the bottom of the dinner tray there were very few macaroni elbows. I still have the dinner, unused. I cannot make myself want to prepare it but I feel cheated I having to toss away something I paid a decent price for. I was hoping you would send me a refund for my purchase.
Strange flavor

The flavor was unpleasant along with the texture which was mushy. A few bites and I couldn’t eat anymore, what a waste. No, I wouldn’t recommend this at all.

I've always been a fan of Lean Cuisine and was excited to try this as I love their regular mac. However, after a couple bites I was noticing a really gross aftertaste from the meat. Not expired and I followed the directions. Dissapointed and a little concerned

I am recovering from COVID, finally felt ready to eat something more than bland mush, used a grocery delivery service to order my reliable favorite frozen comfort meal and was so looking forward to its simple good flavors. If I'd shopped for it myself, I would have noticed the change to "cheesy" and taken a pass. Even if I'd wanted cheese in this dish -- and I didn't -- it's the last thing someone with congestion needs, and now the sodium count is sky-high, too, well beyond my limit for frozen foods. There is no tomato flavor anymore, just cheese. Why ruin a good thing? So now I have several of these to throw out and will have to find a new reliable frozen comfort food. So disappointing.

We're sorry to hear that there was too much cheese. We've let our team know.
