I thought I couldn't go wrong with lasagna when I bought Healthy Choice's Lasagna with Meat Sauce. I had tried the Chicken & Rice Cheddar Bake and the Italian Sausage Pasta Bake as part of a $1 coupon sample and share opportunity through Crowdtap, and neither of them quite hit the mark.
Before I even put the entree into my microwave, I was happy that I didn't have to adjust the power of the microwave during the process of making it. It's always a pain to microwave lasagna on high and then have to change the power setting to complete the cooking process. However, after this lasagna came out of the microwave, I wondered if this lasagna should have been cooked in this manner.
The mozzarella cheese and the sauce were one big soupy mess on top of the lasagna noodles. The sauce was similar in taste to the one for the Italian Sausage Pasta Bake, which meant it was a bit too mild for my taste, but in contrast to the Italian Sausage Pasta Bake, there was way too much sauce one had to wade through to get to the noodles and meat.
When I got to the noodles, they were way too chewy. Additionally, the beef also chewy as well. Chewy meat was something I'd never had encountered in a frozen entree before.
Now if Healthy Choice could go back to the drawing board and produce a lasagna that looks like the one pictured on the box, I would gave it another try. But for now, I'll stick to other brands of frozen entrees if I'm craving lasagna.
