\"Uncle<\/a>Two sidebars before getting to the meat of the matter: \u00a0I like Italian sausage (or ground beef) tomato sauce and pasta. \u00a0 When I lived in Hong Kong, and I’d only get back to my apartment once a week or less, I’d make big batches and freeze in “me size” containers. \u00a0 There’d always be something to eat when I rolled off a plane.<\/p>\n

Second: \u00a0Mrs. Burgerdogboy makes some of the best home cooked Italian food in all the land. \u00a0 So on the occasions we have these ‘heat and eat’ meals, they have a tough haul ahead of them to reach any level of decency.<\/p>\n

We picked this product up at Grocery Outlet<\/a>, which we’ve been hitting lately for two reasons: \u00a0inexpensive wine, and Harris Ranch<\/a> ground beef. \u00a0The former for the Mrs., the latter for Burgerdogboy.<\/p>\n

This was pretty inexpensive, compared to say – Stouffer’s or Marie Callendars. \u00a0So we thought we’ d try it.<\/p>\n

A quick search of the interwebs shows this product is made under the auspices of Michael Angelo’s<\/a> of Austin, TX, a large manufacturer of frozen entrees and sides.<\/p>\n

50-60 minutes in a conventional oven (you know I always use one, even if nuking is permitted), and out comes the dish, looking not too appetizing straight from the fire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But stir it up, and it doesn’t look so bad, plus you’ll love the ingredient list: tomato sauce, sausage, and pasta. Period. \u00a0 Voila!<\/p>\n

\"Uncle<\/a><\/p>\n

How was it? \u00a0Mrs. Burgerdogboy and I were both surprised. \u00a0There was plenty of flavor, and the texture was fine. \u00a0In either the sauce or the sausage, there was a hint of fennel, which I always appreciate.<\/p>\n

Would I buy it again? \u00a0Yep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
