Frozen Friday: Stouffer's - Swedish Meatballs

Stouffer's Swedish Meatballs is one of their Signature Classic frozen dinner and is pretty much a frozen food staple. Stoffer's version comes with noodles and parsley in a sour cream sauce.

A 11.5-ounce box retails for around $3.69 but I bought this particular box on sale for $2.

I like Swedish Meatballs frozen entrees in general and Stouffer's in particular. Like spaghetti, they are well suited to frozen food.
The meatballs here were coarsely ground giving them a nice, meaty texture and beefy flavor. Some actually had a nice browning to them and a slight crust. They were plenty of meatballs to go around.

The noodles had a nice but inconsistent chew to them. They were a little bit gummy but it works here.
The sauce had a noticeable sour cream taste and good consistency. It paired well with the noodles and meatballs without being overbearing. I was particularly grateful that there wasn't an excessive amount of sauce; a little more than enough for the dish.

Noodles with character, plenty of meatballs, and the right amount of sauce. Good stuff.
