I tried some of the fully-cooked and frozen Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage Slices as a quick way to eat some sausage without having to cook and slice sausages myself. Usually when I try to cook and slice sausages, it takes a long time, and I'm not able to slice them very well.

When I tried these sausage slices, they were easy to warm up in the microwave from frozen, and they tasted just like a regular cooked sausage. However, like most sausages, they were a little on the salty side. I ate the sausage slices by themselves, but they would probably be good to use in pasta or other recipes.

The sausage slices were a little bit spicy but not overly spicy. They also weren't mushy and didn't have any other weird texture. They were pretty good and were definitely a quick and easy way to eat some sausage!

Jose Ole: Frozen Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos

I bought a box of frozen Jose Ole Mini Tacos with beef and cheese because the box was on clearance for $2.50 at Safeway.

The microwave instructions on the box state to microwave 8 frozen mini tacos on a plate for 1-2 minutes.

I didn't feel like eating 8 tacos (even though they were small) so I warmed up 4 mini tacos in the microwave for 50 seconds.

The main thing I tasted in the tacos was a weird blended meat and nacho-y cheese taste. There also seemed to be pieces of gristle in the beef, and it was pretty oily. For me, the tortilla was the best part of the tacos.

My boyfriend also tried some, and he didn't think they were too bad and stated that they tasted fine.

Although he thought they were OK, I didn't really like the tacos at all, and I couldn't eat more than two of them. After eating some of my second taco, I decided to just eat the tortillas because I couldn't stand the taste of the beef and cheese.

I tried some of this Bertolli Italian Sausage & Meatball Rigatoni frozen pasta and cooked it using the microwave instructions on the box.

The rigatoni pasta actually turned out to be pretty good. The sauce was a cheesy tomato sauce and it wasn't too sweet or salty. The cheese also thickened up the sauce a little bit.

There only seemed to be three meatballs and three pieces of sausage in the package, but they tasted fine. The meatballs tasted like typical meatballs. The sausage tasted very similar to the meatballs, except they had a sausage texture.

It was good for a single frozen pasta meal. Not only did it taste good, but it was also pretty filling.
