I don't tend to buy ready prepared meals but I love meatballs but hate making them so grabbed some at the weekend to try... Any cooking recommendations?

I liked the beef and veg crush well enough, but I wouldn't have it more than once, it was a bit runny and chemically.
The one l liked best was the chicken pizziola, which was nice, but that's the easiest for me to recreate at short notice.

Lee, since you keep having issues with watery sauces, have you thought of cooking the meal then putting the bits of meat/veg etc onto your plate, then thickening the watery sauce that's left with a tsp or two of gravy granules or thickening granules? They're quite low syn and might well improve things for you - in an easy way!

I tried the Singapore Noodles first, I removed the prawns as don't like them. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. It's a big portion which is good, I cooked it in the microwave, I also found it a bit watery. I had high hopes but was disappointed as it just tasted like noodles and curry powder which I could have made myself. Probably not the safest thing to do, but I saved some of the noodles and veg and reheated the next day by stir frying in fry light and they tasted much nicer. Would probably buy again for days I'm in a rush.
The beef and veg crush I didn't like at all, I'd give it 3 out of 10. Cooked it in the microwave. Again a big portion which Is good but very, very watery. I even tried thickening it with gravy granules and still wasn't impressed. Was like eating beef with onion water. The beef had lumps of gristle (sp?) and fat on it and was chewy. Quite a tasteless meal, but didn't mind the veg crush too much. Definitely wouldn't buy this again.
They are quite expensive at £3, especially when the Weight Watchers meals in the next freezer were on offer for 89p! I was really hoping they would make things taste amazing in a way we would find it hard to do in our own kitchens. They must have had food scientists creating these so could have done better. The positives are they are very large portions, the variety, they are syn free and they are all made with healthy and natural ingredients. No chemical names you've never heard of just good ingredients.
I also have the sausages and Chicken Tikka to try and may try the Pizzola but tweak it by adding cheese or something. Thanks for reviewing these, it's good to hear others opinions before we buy them

My pleasure I'm glad people are benefitting from having them reviewed!
My biggest issue is I can't cook so these meals are waaaaay better than my own cooking lol.
The Singapore noodles is nice, I've had it since and noticed the prawns shrivel up a bit, a shame!
I found the beef crush thing a little chewy too, again another shame.
I agree with you they are fab and totally find all of your positives completely true and with you on them 100%
I agree the price is mental.... I guess if you have syns to spare the ww aren't bad but I do find them small and a little deflating lol
