Product name sounded great. Product was very disappointing.
Probably 90% bland, unseasoned macaroni. Putting "butternut squash" at the beginning of the product name is misleading. There were about 6 tiny pieces of squash. The dessert was gross and totally pointless.

Not good, especially for the price.
I love their roasted chicken entrée, but this was terrible and definitely not worth $12 and 700 calories. The green beans were fine. The main entree was what I’m talking about- really lacking any flavor. (I couldn’t try the dessert because I have a nut allergy.)

Dont let the Salt Reviews sway you! These are great meals
I order Factor meals direct from Factor and I bought these to see if it was the same quality and it is. This is a great meal, very filling, shredded. Chicken and Gouda. It didn’t need salt. It has 690 milligrams already. I think the people asking for more salt are probably people who salt all of their foods. Not bland at all, Sage and Rosemary are not overpowering. The Gouda cream sauce is delicious. Not sure why someone added Parmesan. The other reviews have me baffled. Factor meals are also fresh, never frozen. It’s nice to see them in Target for the same price you pay if you order them. More variety would be awesome. I would prefer to buy them in the store rather than order them. I’m not a fan of green beans but they tasted like green beans.

Quick heat and eat meal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Factor brand butternut squash and sage chicken macaroni meal for dinner. Pros: I like the ease of preparing this meal. I like that I was able to heat it and eat it out of the tray it came in. The apple dessert was tasty. Cons: the pasta and chicken were bland, and the green beans had a vinegar taste which I didn’t care for. In my opinion the cost is a little high for this meal. All in all, I don’t think this was bad, but you definitely need to add some spices to flavor the meal. It’s definitely an easy dinner to bring to work or for a quick meal after a long day.

Convenient, healthy and delicious meal with a slight drawback
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Taste was good, smelled great, very convenient as I don't have to cook, and best of all it's healthy for me. However I did find that the 2 minute heating instructions on the box was inaccurate. The two sides heated up properly in 2 minutes while the entree was still cold. That took another 2-3 minutes. Other than that everything was great and the portion is surprisingly big.

Good Quick Fresh Dinner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This factor meal is a tasty combination overall. The green beans overcooked a bit while getting the main dish up to temperature and could have used some more seasoning. The main dish is nice and light and very good. It looks appetizing but nowhere like the photo on the package. The chicken resembles canned chicken more than fresh especially in texture. I’m not a big fan of microwaved dinner in plastic but this meal was a tasty quick value topped off by a nice little fruity dessert.

I liked the seasonal additions of this meal. Very filling and great flavor of the butternut squash and sage. Also comes with a side of dessert which was a nice finish to the meal

Decent easy protein
Sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese over the Mac and it was delicious! I agree with other reviews that it did need a boost of salt. Green beans were OK. The apple cranberry crumble however was not good. Had to throw it away. Overall - great protein content, you’re paying for ease, and it tasted great with some added cheese.

So-so
My expectations were high, but it was just alright. The pasta was good but could’ve had more flavor. The dessert was great. The green beans were bland and watery with a hint of plastic. Overall not worth the price to me.

Very juicy chicken.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The factor chicken with potatoes and Gouda sauce and Parmesan green beans was delicious. It had a very creamy Gouda cheese sauce and the chicken was nice and juicy and tender. I was surprised that the chicken was not dry and it was a large piece of chicken. The potatoes were soft and tender and not crunchy and the green beans were cooked well but still had a crunch to them. You could taste the Parmesan in them and the red peppers was a great pairing. The only thing I sorta disliked was I thought that the green beans could have been cooked a little bit longer to make them a bit softer but otherwise it was a good meal and was a big enough portion to fill me up.

Tasty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This meal was interesting. Something I never thought would go good together. This is definitely a tasty meal. Instructions are clear and easy. Tastes fresh, although, if you are not a big fan of sage, it may be different. Love love LOVE! Will definitely try the other meals.

Great fresh meal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very great meal. It was perfect for when I didn’t have anything made at home and didn’t feel like cooking. Within a few minutes you have a fresh meal that tastes great.

Tastes Like Homemade
This was fantastic. Exceptional taste, generous portion, no prep required. A little pricey but worth it.

Good try but keep working at it!
The veggies and apple crumble were quite tasty, but the chicken macaroni had no flavor whatsoever! A little salt would go a long way to improve this dish.
