Box of 365 Everyday Value Beef Taquitos from Whole Foods
365 Everyday Value Beef Taquitos from Whole Foods

My boyfriend's mom had bought us these frozen Beef Taquitos from Whole Foods so we tried some. The beef taquitos were kind of bland, and the tortilla was a little tough. The taquitos had an overall tortilla taste. The inside just tasted like mush; I really couldn't taste much beef flavor.

The good thing about it was that it didn't taste bad.. it just had little taste, which meant it could be made to taste better by adding salsa, guacamole, etc.

Box of Kirkland Signature Italian Sausage & Beef Lasagna from Costco
Plate of Kirkland Signature Italian Sausage & Beef Lasagna

Costco's Kirkland Signature Sausage & Beef Lasagna comes in two separate packages of three pound lasagna (six pounds total). My boyfriend and I warmed up one package following the microwave instructions, since the microwave takes ~30 minutes (instead of 65 minutes via coventional oven).

It came out pretty well using the microwave instructions. This was a very standard lasagna and had three layers of lasagna noodles. I liked that the noodles were thick, and I liked the mozzarella cheese on top. I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese so the ricotta inside started getting annoying after my first piece. Luckily, the ricotta was easy enough to scrape off. The lasagna could also use more sausage; it looked like the sausage was only on the top layer.

The sauce was a little sweet, but the meat helped give it a more savory flavor so it tasted like a pretty decent commercial tomato sauce. Together, the two of us ate about half the lasagna in one sitting.

Update: We tried baking this in the oven to see if it made much difference, and the lasagna did seem to taste better and have a better texture using a conventional oven. So, a microwave still does well, but a conventional oven does even better!

Package of Red's Frozen Steak Burrito
Red's Steak Burrito

My boyfriend's mom bought us some frozen Red's steak burritos when she went to Whole Foods. Unfortunately, the burritos had beans in them that were mushed up with everything. Since I don't like beans, my boyfriend was the only one who ate them. The following is his review of the steak burrito:

The inside of the burrito was mostly a mush of rice, cheese, corn, and beans with a few pieces of fatty steak. There were about 10 pieces of steak in the whole burrito which appeared to be 1cm by 1cm (or smaller) cubes. The steak was OK, but there wasn't enough of it.

The burrito wasn't spicy, and the most predominant taste in the burrito was brown rice. Leftover sauce packets from Taco Bell had to be used to make it taste better.
