Gel, unidentifiable meat
Two to three inch piece of what's supposed to be meat covered in gel same with the potatoes and gravy it's just a glob of gel. Will not buy again.

No actual potatoes
Dinner tastes ok, but there weren't any mashed potatoes in it.

Meat puck!
Absolute garbage. The meat is a pale colored unappetizing lump. The gravy and mashed potatoes are mixed together and grainy. Overall failure! I have a picture of the results and it is going directly to the trash where it belongs. No stars!!!

Very Sad
I am not sure what to say. After first 4 min heat per instructions Mashed Potates was like soup. Of course after second portion of heat @ 3 mins almost milky with the gravy well just there. The Meat Loaf is fair. The Corn taste like lower grade corn

Meat Loaf & Gravy
Purchased this item to try since it had a second vegetable included. Really surprised at how few mashed potatoes there were in the plate. Not enough.

It was all around good!
It was actually good for a frozen meal. Very affordable also! I would recommend it to anyone who needs a quick easy meal. It was almost as good as home cooked!

I will not purchase this again. SOOOO SAD!
Something nasty was really going on with the one I just tried to eat. I couldn't get past the first bite. Very disappointing as this meal used to be great.

Tried this one for the first time today, enjoyed several of the other meals but this one specifically is very disappointing. The mash potatoes were completely destroyed to the point I barely knew there was any until I stirred up the gravy and found dried spuds level of clumpy potato hiding underneath a gravy that wasn't even thick or deep at all. The meatloaf itself was probably one of the tiniest amounts of meat I've had in any frozen dinner at the exact same price range.

Delicious in a box!
This meal is super affordable and tastes savory. If you love meat loaf with gravy, you will definitely enjoy this meal paired with two delicious sides for any time of the day. Packaging is slim to easily place in a lunch box.

Good healthy ingredients
I love Marie Callender’s, pretty much what I eat every day for lunch. Good hearty ingredients, fills me up until dinner. Priced right also. Packaging is compact so I buy a lot at a time. The texture of the meatloaf is tasty.

Taste yummier than it looks!
Don't let the picture sway you from trying it. It's delicious. Idk what they put in the heavy but it's really well seasoned. Meat loaf is a nice texture. Corn isn't boring. Very good for the price.

Please fix this issue for all consumers
Please consider putting a divider in all of your dishes that have gravy and mashed potatoes because it comes out like soup and it’s terrible and I just don’t understand and you’re not the only company it’s every TV dinner company does it please separate the mashed potatoes from the running gravy The flavors are good, but it would be a whole lot better if the potatoes and gravy were not in the same divider thank you

Surprisingly Good
I totally enjoyed it. And I am a connoisseur of frozen meals. Especially frozen meals that are calorie conscious. I was just so surprised by the gravy, the flavor,& the generous portion. And the calorie count was low enough that I didn't feel like I was ruining my diet. I will definitely be buying it again!

Major disappointment
Tried this for the first and last time today. The mashed potatoes were more like soup than potatoes. The meatloaf was small I'd guess two ounces. Only the corn was even close to being acceptable since it only required heat to make it edible. I don't think this "meal" rated even one star. I've used MC products for years and have never been so disappointed. I will need to think hard to convince myself to continue buying MC in the future.

Disappointment in a green box
It was a gray lump of what I hope was some kind of protein partially covered with a transparent brown jelly, sitting on top of something resembling uncooked grits. I think it is supposed to be potatoes but nah. The corn was okay. This was NOT a meal that I would expect from Marie Callendars.

Meat Loaf & Gravy dinner a HUGE disappointment
I ought a couple of Marie Callendar TV dinners a month or so ago as a backup for my regular dinners, and a few days ago, heated up the MeatLoaf & Gravy dinner. What a HUGE disappointment. Although it tasted OK, the meatloaf portion was much smaller than I remembered from years ago -- but the worst was the dreadful mashed potatoes. The "potatoes", which looked like a thin and watery version of the old instant mashed potatoes made with flakes, was tasteless and the consistency of thick gravy. I had to eat it with a spoon!!! The gravy had little to no taste and was slathered over the white stuff that passed as spuds, The only really edible portion of this disaster was the corn, and there was too much of that, and not enough of the meat. This was a sad, sad, underwhelming piece of work, not worthy of the once proud brand name. This was so "one and done". Not sure you will publish this, but even if you do, I am pretty sure that nothing will change -- so my strongest advice to you consumers out there, is do NOT waste your hard earned money on this piece of trek.

GREAT flavor
I dont care for meatloaf and I bought this for my husband and he didnt eat it so after a couple months, I ate it...so It wouldn't go to waste. WOW! I was so impressed with all the flavor. It was so good! I will definitely be buying this again but this time, its for me! Lol. It is quite a small serving so I added a piece of toast. I also added butter and elote seasoning to the corn. The serving size is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Horrible excuse for a dinner
This really should be ZERO stars because "poor" doesn't begin to explain how awful this dinner was -- tasteless meatloaf and watery potatoes. Truly inedible. The photo on the package lies! There's no resemblance except perhaps the corn. What a shame to put Marie Callender's name on this horrible product. Beware! Do not buy!
