Smart Ones Salisbury Steak

As I have mentioned before, I am on a diet and have been eating a lot of frozen meals. Some are definitely better than others and I’m really picky when it comes to TV dinners as so many of them seem to smell and taste like garlic. Garlic isn’t a bad taste but when it’s overpowering, it’s a problem.

Since I’m doing Weight Watchers, I have been giving their Smart Ones brand a try. We love the Smart Ones desserts but wasn’t sure how I would like their entrees.

I chose the Smart Ones Salisbury Steak since it came with meat and macaroni and cheese.

What struck me when I took the meal out of the box was the steak. It was a nice size and very thick. After I read the microwave instructions, I waited patiently for the meal to be ready.

The steak was very tasty. No garlic whatsoever. There was some gravy and onions on top of it. The meat was thick, so when you took a bit it would take a few minutes to chew.

The mac and cheese was a little runny but still editable. It wasn’t the best mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted but was OK especially considering it was from a diet frozen meal.

The hardest part about dieting is getting used to smaller portions. Tasty meals like this one make you feel like you’ve actually eaten a meal. Overall, I would say that Smart Ones Salisbury steak was satisfying and filling. This will be one frozen meal I will buy again especially considering it was less than $2. It makes me also want to try even more Smart Ones meals.
