Boston Markety says: We start with tender, juicy cuts of Beef Sirloin mixed with a savory mushroom gravy. Pour it over freshly made buttered egg noodles, and you have a delicious steak entree with the Boston Market touch.

Nicole says: Boston Market is all about accurate representation. The lighting in the room where the box picture was taken is a bit softer and has more yellow in it, but this picture does fairly represent the amount and size of the meat, noodles, mushrooms and the little green herb flecks in the gravy and on the noodles.

Actually, there is a tad bit more meat in the meal than what the picture on the box expresses. And it’s not reconstituted meat product. In fact, a couple pieces of beef sirloin are actually marbled. Like steak. And it tastes really good. Crazy.

The gravy is on the watery side, quite salty in taste (my one warning), and features a hint of spiciness. The mushroom slices are each the size of a postage stamp, a tiny bit rubbery but quite moist, and taste mushroom-y. The noodles are soft and thick.

This is a pretty straightforward meal. Meat, noodles, some sauce with a couple veggies pretending to round out your food pyramid desires. It’s also 14 ounces, so a “hearty portion,” according to Boston Market and my standards.

I can’t wait for the next Boston Market sale. Of course, when I say that I will buy a meal again, it means in the far distant future, because I’m always searching out NEW meals to try and am too committed to the mission of warning your taste buds to settle into a comfortable routine of dependably yummy fare.

Salty? That sodium count might kill me. So is this like LC or Stouffer’s beef stroganoff - or is the sauce some completely different taste?

Those noodles look so so soggy, but I guess thats how egg noodles are suppose to be? From your description of the watery salt gravy combined with the picture, I’d call this beef Stroganoff soup with extra noodles.

I have never had this boston market meal but I have had many others and i feel that you can never really go wrong with them. I have never had anything horrible from them, usually a good dinner that i can actually enjoy.

Colleen: Yes, this might be the first time I’ve characterized a frozen meal as tasting particularly salty. Which actually might be a reason to avoid it, as I put salt on my salt. I haven’t had the LC or Stouffer’s Beef Stroganoff to my knowledge, but will make an effort to do so in the near future.

Colleen: Yeah, I’ve always been under the impression that egg noodles are supposed to be cooked softer than italian pasta. There is not enough gravy to enter “soup” territory, however.

Tara: Boston Market and I are joined by the bonds of love, and you cannot track that, not with a thousand blood hounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.

Nicole your loyalty to Boston Market is admirable. They are one of a very few that can do a frozen beef dinner right.

Now if Safeway would just drop them to the price of Marie Callander I’d be happy.

Julie: I recommend checking out Giant if they are nearby in your region. They usually have BM meals on sale at least once a month.

Careful about the Boston Market meals….they have an ABSURD amount of salt in them.

Whenever we DO grab a frozen Boston Market meal from our local grocer’s freezer, the one we grab the most: the Swedish Meatballs. The best of the frozen varieties we’ve found, with plenty of meatballs and noodles and enough of the gravy to swirl the meatballs around in even when you are down to the last few bites or so. Highly recommended if you like other Boston Market dinners.
