For a buck-25 from dollar tree.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one and to say the least it's the best tasting hot pocket flavor Ive had(so far tried ham&cheese, pizza, and the breakfast ones). Even so, there was of course no crisper sleeve so the dough was chewy and not whereas good as it used to be.

The redemption is the cheese topping which tastes and smells exactly like Dorito dust(smelled like microwaving doritos😹). The inside has your typical hot pocket cheese goo but with beef crumbles that tasted decent for frozen meat.

A crisper sleeve would've brought this up to a solid 8-9/10

I kid you not this was one of the best frozen items I have consumed.
$1.25 at Doller Tree. 1min in microwave(3rd pic). 4min in airfryer at 400F.

The tortilla was standard, having a soft chew to it along with a semi-buttery flavor.
The filling was the star of the show for sure- finely shredded white chicken that didnt taste odd in a queso like cheese sauce along with peppers. The cheese the consumed the chicken reminded me of homemade ACP sauce or one that you'd find at a Mexican restaurant in the South. After heating the filling turning into a delicious melty goop. A tad more texture in the filling would've given it a 10/10 on the frozen food scale

A solid item from the Dollar Tree for a buck- 25.

Cooking Method: 1 min. in microwave, 5min at 400F in airfryer.

Before ya’ll say smthn - I did burn it quite significantly but that actually contributed to it‘s lack of flavor. The Pizza itself is decent size for a personal pizza and carries some thickness. The best way I can describe the mozz. cheese was that it’s stale & lacking of a lactic flavor- practically tasteless. I found the crust to be decent, as it tasted somewhere between Papa Murphy's and Domino’s pizza dough. Lord knows what happened to the tomato sauce ‘cause I kid you not there was maybe a 1/4tsp on the entire pizza. Regardless of it lacking on the tomato scale, the flavor of tomato and typical pizza herbs was certainly present. It’s lacking of a cheese pull but has a nice pillow-y bite to it.

TLDR: Below average frozen pizza, but certainly not bad for the price and convenience. Went fabulous with pizza flavored hot sauce.

$1.50 at Doller Tree.
This one surprised me- the exterior looked crispy out of the pack but became soggy once I microwaved it for 60secs so I decided to crisp it up in the airfryer for 5mins at 400(this brought my rating up from an initial 5/10). The flavor is extremely on point to what you would find at a Chinese takeout place or even Jack in the Box. Only downside it leaves an old oil residual taste in your mouth(this might just be my taste 'cause most Chinese places give me similar effects). The filling appeared as appetizing as it gets for frozen food and did NOT have a weird mushy texture, rather, you could determine the textures of the individual ingredients which made it much enjoyable. It came with plenty of sauce which was fabulous and reflected a very bright-sweet-tangy pineapple-vinegar flavor.(sauce was a solid 8.5/10)

They also had lobster 'n shrimp flavors- Ima have to try those another time.

West Coast- found these 10z NY strip steaks for bout $3 a piece on expiration day. Froze em and decided to defrost in the microwave 'n cook it in the air fryer. I know I messed up and left it in too long but the fat cap came out extremely crispy similar to pork belly🤌

Medium rare turned into Medium-Wellll.... I better try again another time😂

Its about 150% bigger than the one's that come in 8 packs in stores. The filling had some beef but it appeared as beans, the taste was somewhat like a cheese-beef-onion chili. Not too frick'n bad for a frozen 'rito. I would get again👌

Picked this sucker up at a gas station- the instructions on the back look like it was suppose to be pre-prepared by the gas station 'n kept warm 'til someone buys it. Bought it frozen anyways and microwaved it back at tha place

Found these at costco and to say the least they tasted exactly like the bakeries and restaurants. The dough is spongy, soft and a touch sweet. While the filling has the right bbq sauce to pork ratio 'n the pork itself aint crazy fatty. These didn't last long amongst me😂 Only thing Id ask for is a lil more fill'n

The fillings are a bit lacking but it made for a nice afternoon meal bridging snack. Yes, this was my first time having this flavor, but I have had the ham 'n cheese & breakfast once in the past. Pepperoni is cut into 1/4 slices and is nicely tender. Solid cheese pull. I miss the crisper sleeve they used to have- the dough is now either tough or on the soggy side. The herbs on the dough 'n in the sauce gives it that proper pizza flavor. Not bad but not great- but would I eat it now and a again? - Yes. If it were for the crisper sleeve I prob give it a solid 5-6.

Was hungry for Mac n Cheese so picked this up and there's something comforting about this frozen dish. It might be that consistent orange hue of the sauce or starchy/slightly over cooked texture of the pasta.

I say Stouffer's Mac is this nice middle ground- satisfying but nothing crazy. Add something like meat or peas and you got yourself neat lil meal.

Ofc I'm sure we're all pretty familiar with this frozen isle staple

Egg, cheese, country taters, pulled pork(wish there was more), aioli(wish there was less)

I would get these again because of the price($1.39 where Im at), accurate pizza flavor, & for satiety. For being microwaved the crust was surprisingly crispy but nothing insane for frozen goods. Could've used more cheese un the filling but these are pepperoni, but overall above average

The smoky flavor is off the charts with this one! That and the spices give it a wonderful smell as you heat it up. It doesn't look the most appetizing but its actually pretty delicious. The little paneer pieces, about 1/2inch cubed are full of flavor but have a dense sponge texture. Would get again from my local GO

***This isn't a frozen meal but I wouldn't know where else it'd belong.

3 taco size flour tortillas
String cheese melted on tortillas
2 eggs 'n can tuna stirfried
W/ homemade kashmiri sauce+spicy tomato sauce

Was bomb😋

Been making plates like this with cheap tortillas+ whatevah cheese on hand, n' eggs or meat if I got it

Thought it'd be a good time to order these before Tabasco possibly decided to discontinue some of them. I am aware there are other ltm flavors such as the Diamond Reserve which would be out of the question-expensive.

So far I have opened the Raspberry Chipotle- it's basically the original Chipotle but thicker like blood and w/ fruity notes of course. It reminds me of a less syrupy raspberry bbq sauce.

The 4 flavors pictured I found to not be that simple to get because I had to special order them and couldnt find them in any stores. I was curious if anyone knows why that is? Obviously the Reserve is more expensive because of its longer aged features, but the Raspberry and Roast pepper are both quite popular and I wouldn't think their additional ingredients is driving up the cost a significant amount. Just curious if anyone has any speculations

Currently in my collection, I have the Original, Scorpion, Hab, Garlic, Green Pepper, Chipotle, and Picante. Ill still need to get around to tryin the sweet n spicy and sriracha ones as well.

Whipped this up in about 10min with just a single dish to wash.

2 5.5oz boxed spirals mac- $0.58per box($1.16 total)

1/2 a 12oz bag of frozen peas- $0.98per the bag($0.49 for half)

Cook according to box and add in frozen peas after. Dont forget the ketchup if you wish!

10oz of cooked kalua on a 10" tortilla. Small side salad for "health". Kalua on a hawaiian roll for dessert. Fresh Hibiscus from the yard. Enjoyed with one with lots of siracha, African Dream Habanasco sauce, and Melinda's fire roasted hab sauce. 100% could have used some poi.

I am aware the pork is on the finer side shred-wise(that's just how my mom showed me how to make it)
