mac and beef
Used to be one of my favs but somehow with improvement of adding the cheese, it doesn't taste the same so rarely purchase anymore.

I love the Lean Cuisine Classic Macaroni & Beef, however, the corner of the box was torn off (open) all the way to the plastic tray inside the box. I I had to toss it out!

Did not enjoy
Very bland. Lean cuisine offers way better options when it comes to pasta and meat sauce.

Excellent :)
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.

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

Wild Reviews, Meh Product
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

Smelled Awful
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.

GOT FOOD POISONING FROM THIS PRODUCT
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!

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

Usually a good dinner - NOT THIS TIME
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.

Too much sauce, not enough macaroni
The title says it all. I suppose I could cook up and add some macaroni....but really?

weird aftertaste
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 didn’t find a problem with the cheese but the beef tasted… sweaty?
