Lean Cuisine says: Tender oven-roasted meatballs seasoned to perfection in a tasty sour cream gravy accented with a side of curly pasta.

Carolyn says: I will admit I picked this out because it seemed like such an odd frozen lunch, but I ended up really liking it! I think in their attempts to be health friendly Lean Cuisine loaded up on the lean meatballs and skimped a little bit on the carby pasta - which ended in a slightly high ratio of meatballs to pasta. Unusual. But, the meatballs were pretty moist and saucy. The pasta was also fine, and there was enough sauce to go around. The Swedish Meatball meal didn’t get burned to the edge, maybe because they instruct you to cook it on 1/2 power for twice as long. That is the second or third frozen meal we have seen recently by Lean Cuisine that is using that whole 1/2 power thing. Interesting new trend. Overall a pleasing purchase and more filling than usual.

I just had this meal, and i completely agree. The tenderness of the meatballs is excellent and the sauce is tasty and plentiful. It was so good to me that i wanted more! This is definitely more meat than most of the other lean cuisines.

The only drawback would probably be the meatball’s color? It was slightly pink when I ate mine but I hope it’s just the color and not indicative of anything else!

[…] I like the Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs over the Smart Ones’. The Lean Cuisine noodles arenâ€™t as thick, but you get six meatballs […]
