I don't know how many years I've been coming back to your channel now, but I thought since I'm here early I'll leave a comment to thank you for all the videos over the years! Some good old relaxing WolfePit has helped me get my mind in a better place countless times so seriously, thank you for everything you have done, and will do!!! Without doubt some of my favourite content on the site, so homely and enjoyable, and I can't even eat any of the foods you cover since I'm in the UK~
From what I've seen,1 dollar meals have jumped in price,I want us all know that they all are going up,if you like these wick movrowsbe mesls,nit some now and have a few in frezzer
I appreciate your work. I am a widow, senior citizen, on a fixed income. I eat a lot of Banquet products. I know you get what you pay for, and I have never hated any of Banquet's products. Sometime I get Hungry Man meals, they have about twice as much and cost twice as much. Some of us eat the Banquet meals for lunch and Hungry Man for supper. I don't make too many of your recipes because I cook, when I can, for one. But I love watching you cook . Keep up the good work.
Nothing beats a meatloaf sandwich on white bread with my Ma's meatloaf as leftovers. I could eat meatloaf twice a week and never get bored! Great video thank you!
Another great video. Sometimes when I think I’m hungry, I watch some of your reviews again. And then I lose my appetite and don’t want to eat. 😂. Thank you very much. It has become a very successful weight loss program for me. 😱
Way back in the early 1970's Swanson had a meatball and mashed potato frozen dinner in the aluminum container. It was delicious. Their fried chicken dinner was great, too. Mr. WolfePit, thank you for sacrificing your health eating these unhealthy meals!
I was a kid in the 80s and those old tv dinners that had to actually be cooked in a real oven were great. They went to crap when the companies started catering to the microwave crowd.
After being a chef. For over 40 years, he would think that these frozen dinners would be the very last thing I would ever consider eating. However, the truth be known. when my wife and I separated and I lost my house to bankruptcy and was living in a rat infested apartment. The last thing I wanted to do after a 12 hour shift cooking was to cook for myself. So I turned to frozen microwave mules. I ate so many banquet and Stovers meals. Anne Marie Callenders. I wouldn't even be able to count. One thing I'll say is if you're going to eat these things, keep the saltshaker hidden. Do not reach for it. You will never need it somehow. Some of them are great. Some of them are crap, but they're convenient. And if you're tired or you don't have the items on hand to prep they certainly fill the need. When I can cook for other people, family and friends, I will always. cook from scratch. But when is just me and nobody to impress? This is good enough for me. Larry is always thank you. By the way, I'm now even more disabled with a broken arm. So I'm down to using my left hand for everything which makes it almost impossible to write. Cut, even open a bottle cap. So these frozen meals are coming in handy once again. Love you, Larry. Take care, your friend. Rob.
Robert, hope you are doing better now!!! As a former Chef, injured my back in '07, I know what is is like to cook all day or night and then not want to cook when ya get home!!! Thank God my wife is a great cook too!!!
Every chef I know has always said the exact same thing. Cooking all day makes your favorite meal something along the lines of eggs on toast or ramen noodles 😂 it makes sense to me! Hope your arm is better now, brother
@@doug1863 my stepmother made meatloaf with cheese in the middle..and a ketchup sauce on top. It was spectacular and I've never had anything better since.
I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. This made me appreciate the hospital food! I realize it varies a lot by hospital. I was in Minneapolis. The worst thing I have to say is, because it is a huge hospital, the food was sometimes lukewarm by the time I received it. But nothing I ordered was terrible. It made being in there a lot more bearable.
A cold meatloaf sandwich on toasted white bread slathered in ketchup is heaven to me. The only sandwich that tops it to me is a tomato sandwich (homegrown tomatoes) on toasted white bread with mayonaise and salt and pepper. I actually prefer my metloaf cold the next day.
@@ryanglacier30 yes I agree 💯 the Mac and cheese taste like the og KFC Mac and cheese and the steaks has some onions on the side helps it with the flavoring.
I havent had a legit frozen dinner outside of one extremely freak scenario for like 25 years but when I was a kid I would legit eat those Marie Callendar meals as after school snacks. Loved that salty goodness and they genuinely seemed a step above others back then.
I eat 3 or 4 of those boston market meatloaf meals per week. I've got arthritis and cooking for myself is not really an option, and going out to eat can get really expensive! Combined with a second frozen dinner. like the Marie Calendar's cheesy chicken & rice with broccoli, it's a full meal with amazing flavor!
Arthritis is a pretty lame excuse for not cooking for yourself. The real money savings an health benefits far exceed the pain. Will only help you in the long run. JMO- just my opinion. I have arthritis as well.
I love meatloaf. However, these days meatloaf is so dry that you need to add gravy or ketchup. That, or it's so spicy you're gonna need some heavy milk to wash it down. As a kid, my Grandma always made the best meatloaf. She was an awesome cook. The memory of her made me shed a tear. She died in 2019 at the age of 100.
When dad was out on his business trip's and the step mom was out (redacted) I was left with a freezer full of late 70's early 80's TV dinners. This episode was a remembrance of that time.
Meatloaf is called ‘imitation/faux hare’ in Danish 🤗 I was SO confused as a child, and slightly disappointed when I was told that it’s ‘just’ beef or pork... this repeated when I had mock turtle soup!
These kind of packed frozen food is good if one is homeless but has access to a mic or maybe disabled but still can operate a mic. All the other people who have got an hour can make a good meatloaf. I appreciate these packed meals also I never had them cus I am European. I love these videos it's comforting to watch. Thanks for sharing ♥
Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy them so much! I am so glad I found your channel a few years ago. I have seen every video since and go back and watch the older ones all the time. I love how entertaining you make them.
Thanks again for this channel. When a lot of people are working two jobs, and are pressed on their food budget one can understand why such pre-prepared and highly processed meals get bought. I need to sit down and see how much it would cost to make home-cooked versions using budget ingredients and some meal prep containers.
@@Soggywafflecakes They used to be much better before Nestle bought them. But still ok. Night Hawk brand is different. They even have a Mexican variety plate. From a small town, Buda, in Texas.
The Banquet Meals and Marie Calendar Meals are both produced by the same company, ConAgra Brands. Boston Market Frozen Meals are made by Bellisio Foods (Micheinas, Eat, Quest, Atkins, White Castle (Frozen sold IN stores) and Authentic Asia). Stouffer's is made by Nestle.
Well after having tried each of the listed meatloaf, I recommend the Stouffer's meat loaf. Only has mash potatoes with it but I always add another veggie of some sort and I have used one meal for two different servings/meal times since they have two pieces of loaf. The Niblet Corn and Green beans are to spongy and tasteless for my pallette, definitely suggest ditching them and using the microwave steam bag green giant or birds eye veggies instead. Makes a whole world of difference.
the way my family does Meatloaf is Eggs, Ground Beef, Seasonings and Saltine Crackers mixed together . i definitely dont complain about it, due to how the leftovers make a tasty sandwich, especially if you got american sliced cheese and ketchup.
2 lbs lean ground beef 85/15 1 small onion, finely diced 1/2 cup green pepper, finely diced (optional) 1 1/2 sleeves Ritz crackers, crushed 3 eggs 4 oz shredded colby or cheddar 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper Glaze 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp mustard 1) preheat oven to 350 2) combine glaze ingredients, mix well 3) in a large bowl, whisk eggs, add crumbs, onion, green pepper, cheese, milk, salt and pepper 4) add beef and mix. Don't over mix 5) form a loaf on foil lined pan. 6) bake for 30 minutes 7) brush on glaze 8) bake for 30-40 more minutes 9) let stand 15 minutes
2000 mg of sodium is what the FDA recommends per day, but it is killer, go 1250-1500 mg and you will feel a hell of a lot better. I personally had to do a low sodium diet because I lived with my very ill mother. But once we started it, it helped all of our heath out. Dont stock up on salt/sodium. Use things like Ms's Dash for seasoning if you have a issue with less salt. It will help the transition.
Pretty sure I've tried all of these at least once, but Boston market is miles above the rest. Have you had a Boston market chicken pot pie? Wow! They are top of the frozen dinner game!
Have to agree, tried them when Marie Callender's quality went down hill. I love the country fried steak, didn't look as good as Marie's but the taste was excellent.'
I have gotta say the quality of your videos has gotten even better I hope you never stop you deserve more views if moistcritical can make Michael superbacker a start let’s get the pit a ton of subs
I would eat Stouffer's meatloaf in my college days. It was pretty good, although nothing ever compares to Mom's meatloaf (every family had one). I could eat that straight up with no gravy or ketchup. She threw at least half a dozen things into the chop meat and glazed it with sauce. It was so tender and moist, and great with potatoes and vegees. None of the frozen meatloafs can even get close but the taste of the Stouffer's loaf was the best in my opinion.
I've eaten all these, and they are alright for a quick lunch. No comparison to what my parents used to make, but no packaged meal ever is. They are certainly better than the Hormel Completes Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes I had earlier today.
If I'm looking for frozen meals, I usually try to avoid Banquet, although their family sized Salisbury steak is OK for the price. Individual meals usually come from your Top three, based on personal experience with the brands, and which meals I like. Glad to see our tastes are similar; it adds weight to your other reviews.
Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between the salsberry steak and the meatloaf in TV dinners. They look and taste the same. i've made both and trust me my salisbury steak didn't look or taste like meatloaf. LOL
@@Gloria-ro4vn Salisbury steak is usually served with a Beef/mushroom type gravy, meatloaf (at least in N.America) has either straight ketchup, or some kind of weird ass ketchup based gravy. This is for the frozen meals type; scratch made/homemade is usually much better, but it's cooks choice how they personally season it.
@@7891ph Never, made gravy with ketchup in my life, never knew anyone who did. Actually, No one in my family or any of our friends ever made gravy for our meatloaf. We would put tomato sauce, not ketchup on the top when baking. I'll concede most people do use ketchup. I spent my youth on grandma's farm around Purcell, oklahoma. Different States all have their own version and we all claim our version is the best.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Agreed. Most of the time when Dad made meatloaf, he didn't bother with anything on top. Mom hated it; the only time I had it was after they split up. My brother and I quickly grew to hate it was because when Dad was tired, he'd just start grabbing cans of whatever off the shelf and dumping them in. Trust me, it's as bad as it sounds (actually probably worse). There's a reason I don't touch it today.
A few months ago I'd have been all over this. Now I'm trying to lose weight so it's all lean cusine meatloaf. All 9 ounces of it (and mashed potatoes).
To expect frozen foods to come out like the picture on the box is crazy 😂 I mean even fast foods joints can't make their foods look like the ones in the picture and commercials, and that's with someone in the back putting it together.

@@doug1863 my stepmother made meatloaf with cheese in the middle..and a ketchup sauce on top. It was spectacular and I've never had anything better since.
I hate ketchup on meatloaf, I prefer the brown gravy version, to each their own.
My mom cut out the middle man and put 1/2 cup of ketchup in hers and glazed the top with it and topped it with bacon
I don't care for ketchup on meatloaf. I like either honey bbq sauce or brown gravy; it depends on which I have on hand when I make meatloaf...

The Boston market meatloaf is delicious for a frozen dinner. But the salt is off the charts.

Two of the best,ya got to have good home grown tomatoes
And I can easily top your tomato sandwich by adding lettuce and bacon to the tomato and mayo; give it a try sometime!
I mix mayo and ketchup together😊
Stouffer's meatloaf is one of the few frozen meals I still eat regularly. It's pretty good.
This and their Salisbury steak and Mac are amazing
@@ryanglacier30 yes I agree 💯 the Mac and cheese taste like the og KFC Mac and cheese and the steaks has some onions on the side helps it with the flavoring.
Agreed on the stouffers salisbury steak and mac being a quick and easy go-to.
Their Swedish Meatballs are also fire.
Best part of any meatloaf is the browned up crust
A little crunchy makes it a better nunchy
Great episode. I love meatloaf, but have only made it a handful of times these last 20 years. Gotta make a batch.
I havent had a legit frozen dinner outside of one extremely freak scenario for like 25 years but when I was a kid I would legit eat those Marie Callendar meals as after school snacks. Loved that salty goodness and they genuinely seemed a step above others back then.
I LOVE THESE SHOWDOWN EPISODES. can we get a clam chowder showdown?
He did one a little under a year ago I believe. Just type in the RUclips search bar "The Wolfe pit clam chowder" and it'll pop up.

Five pot pies for a $. Good old days…
Thanks for the tip!
I've got a bunch of ground Monkey Meat in my freezer and was wondering what to do with it.
I did find a great meatloaf recipe that mirrored Cracker Barrel. The secret was using Ritz crackers.
That makes sense.
I bet that does add a little sumpin sumthin!

Every Hormel Completes meal I have tried is totally un-eatable!! Just awful
Banquet got me threw some tuff nights but I'ma Stouffer's guy if I gotta be thanks for another great video Sir!
If I'm looking for frozen meals, I usually try to avoid Banquet, although their family sized Salisbury steak is OK for the price. Individual meals usually come from your Top three, based on personal experience with the brands, and which meals I like. Glad to see our tastes are similar; it adds weight to your other reviews.
Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between the salsberry steak and the meatloaf in TV dinners. They look and taste the same. i've made both and trust me my salisbury steak didn't look or taste like meatloaf. LOL
@@Gloria-ro4vn Salisbury steak is usually served with a Beef/mushroom type gravy, meatloaf (at least in N.America) has either straight ketchup, or some kind of weird ass ketchup based gravy. This is for the frozen meals type; scratch made/homemade is usually much better, but it's cooks choice how they personally season it.
@@7891ph Never, made gravy with ketchup in my life, never knew anyone who did. Actually, No one in my family or any of our friends ever made gravy for our meatloaf. We would put tomato sauce, not ketchup on the top when baking. I'll concede most people do use ketchup. I spent my youth on grandma's farm around Purcell, oklahoma. Different States all have their own version and we all claim our version is the best.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Agreed. Most of the time when Dad made meatloaf, he didn't bother with anything on top. Mom hated it; the only time I had it was after they split up. My brother and I quickly grew to hate it was because when Dad was tired, he'd just start grabbing cans of whatever off the shelf and dumping them in. Trust me, it's as bad as it sounds (actually probably worse). There's a reason I don't touch it today.
It's always a great day when I have moose-loaf! Good to see you posting again Larry😀
Thanks again Larry! Great job.
Love em all
Totally agree with you on this one. I love your videos 😊

The everyman's chef!
I’ve been getting the Marketside refrigerated meatloaf from Walmart the past few months and it’s pretty killer.
glad youre back!
Am i the only person who makes meatloaf with BBQ sauce??? Gotta be Sweet Baby Ray's ❤❤❤
Me too!!!!!
Oh my God ! Leftover meatloaf sandwich’s are the best.
Propylene Glycol (anti-freeze) and beef-type flavor? Yummy!
add pepper! it really brings out all the flavors
It is also in Parmesan garlic wing sauce.
The Bob barker of food review keep up the great work
love the band with the same name
I like the Stouffer’s meatloaf, but I scrape the gravy off and put ketchup on it. It’s pretty tasty 😋
A few months ago I'd have been all over this. Now I'm trying to lose weight so it's all lean cusine meatloaf. All 9 ounces of it (and mashed potatoes).
Another great one from the master! 👍👍
This is the content I'm here for
I missed the throwdowns. I'm glad you did one. Maybe next time you can do a fried chicken one? Thanks for the videos
Larry's back for US the PEOPLE! ❤
To expect frozen foods to come out like the picture on the box is crazy 😂
I mean even fast foods joints can't make their foods look like the ones in the picture and commercials, and that's with someone in the back putting it together.
I always wonder how they can have such high sodium numbers yet still taste bland. Is something binding the salt flavor in the food?
I just had the stouffers meatloaf tonight i liked it
Frozen meatloaf smackdown!
I Like frozen dinners sometimes. I think hormel meatloaf is also good. I do like Boston market and stouffer’s though. Very good review. Thanks
My old grampa said the food gets mixed in your tummy anyway, so mix it all on the fork if you want.
Textured vegetable protein tvp had to look it up, love your vids can't wait for the carnivore videos
