Make room in your freezer.
I love a home-cooked meal as much as the next person, but there are some nights when cooking is the last thing I want to do. And, more often than not, those are the same nights I have no desire to leave the house—so a restaurant, drive-thru, or takeout is usually out of the question. Plus, now that summer is in full swing, I'm not turning on the oven unless it's absolutely necessary.
Luckily, if you're craving a restaurant-quality meal that is as convenient as it is comforting, six new Marie Callender's meals made with high-quality, contemporary ingredients and sauces made from scratch are heading to the freezer aisle. Whether you're scrambling after a busy day at work, feeling too lazy to cook, or just want a go-to meal, the new options are a simple solution for family feasting and solo dining alike.
Marie Callender's New Family Meals
Conagra Brands—the company behind Chef Boyardee, P.F. Chang's, and Birds Eye—recently announced that a line of brand-new Marie Callender's frozen meals is heading to grocery store aisles soon. Just like the hearty comfort food meals you can enjoy at Marie Callender's restaurants, the collection of family-size meals now includes three new dishes—Meat Lasagna, Baked Ziti, and Garlic Chicken Pasta—that are easy to heat up.
Marie Callender's Meat Lasagna follows a classic recipe, made with marinara sauce and packed with ground beef, pork sausage, and mozzarella cheese. Its 40-ounce size makes it ideal for feeding a family. The Baked Ziti includes pasta and meatballs in marinara sauce topped with mozzarella cheese. The Garlic Chicken Pasta features grilled chicken, rotini pasta, and carrots and broccoli in a creamy garlic sauce. Both the Baked Ziti and Garlic Chicken are also family-sized at 36 ounces, and all three family-size meals retail for $9.99—a wallet-friendly solution for weeknight meals.
Marie Callender's New Single-Serve Frozen Meals
In addition to the larger family-size portions, Marie Callender's is also debuting three new single-serve meals for office lunches or a solo night in, regardless of what cuisine you're craving. Best of all, the single-serve meals range from $3.49 to $3.99, meaning you can stock up without breaking the bank.
First up, the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce meal features pasta in a hearty tomato sauce made with beef and pork—no boiling water or sauce simmering required. Plus, there are two new single-serve bowls to stock up on. The Chicken Bacon Ranch bowl features grilled chicken and bacon atop rotini pasta, all tossed in a creamy ranch sauce. If you want Chinese takeout without the price tag, the new savory Chicken Lo Mein bowl features tender chicken, lo mein noodles, and veggies in a soy, ginger, and garlic sauce.
Whether you're feeding yourself or cooking for a crowd, the new Marie Callender's meals are a wallet-friendly option for a lazy meal, a weeknight dinner, or a convenient work lunch—and you don't even have to leave the house.
