Spaghetti? Why is it spicy? yuk. Isn’t it supposed to flavorful not spicy.

To spicy. If you want to make it spicy, could you put it on the box flavorful or something doesnt mean spicy I dont like spicy I wont ever buy it again because I dont Like too spicy I like Italian flavor you cant even taste the flavor. I love spaghetti I go to an Italian restaurant I dont get spicy spaghetti.

The pot pie looked like it defrosted and the inside went to one side. As well as half if not more of the crust was off. Nit what I expected from your pit pies.

Marie Callenders Meals - Highest Quality and best taste Pot Pie I have ever had
Original review Mar 21, 2024
I have been purchasing Marie Callenders Chicken Pot Pies from Costco the last year. These pot pies are by far the best I have ever had including home made. My thoughts are that your team understands top quality ingredients and the importance of consistency doing this. I wanted to share this experience with as many people as I could because you well deserve these compliments. Great job to all of giving us this great product. Thank you Mike Garvonic Macomb County Michigan

Poor quality this is the worst frozen dinner. Never purchased a dinner like this. It was like the mashed potatoes and gravy. Was like a soup. With maybe four little tiny pieces of turkey in it. And a half a carrot with a few sprinkles of broccoli in it. This is the biggest mess Ive ever seen in my life. It doesnt look nothing like the picture on the box.

Marie Callenders Meals - Hadn’t seen lemon Meringue pie
I finally found Marie Callenders lemon meringue pie in the grocery stores. They were terrific years ago. I dont know what happened they havent been in the stores in a while so got excited to have one. It was horrible. The filling was horrible was not even a bright yellow color. It was like mushy pudding There was half the filling. Marie Callenders and the meringue, which was on Marie Callenders pie was 2 inches tall to three this was even an inch high was all messed up in the box broken and if anybody has ever had Marie calendars lemon meringue pie, it is not

Re: DRY chicken pot pie

A few minutes ago, I microwaved one of your chicken pot pies following the directions printed on the carton. Then I placed it on a plate and added a few red grapes ready to enjoy my meal. I began by opening up the top cruse and moved the contents around a bit.

The first thing I noticed was the complete absence of any moisture, gravy, liquid, etc. inside the entire pie.

I ate a few bites of the completely dry pie and could only get three or four bites down my throat and had to stop eating the pie.

What in the world are you trying to accomplish by producing such a dry pot pie?

One of the cheapest ingredients in the pie is liquid something, like gravy. Are you overcompensating for the bottom and top crust thinking that it will not consume some of the moisture when cooked? All I know is that it is so dry it would *** a maggot.

Customers that buy your pot pies should not have to buy a jar or container of gravy to add to your product to make it edible. I have relatives and friends who share the same complaint about your pot pies.

Please do whatever it takes to fix this problem, you are losing customers every day because of this manufacturing debacle.

Attached are a few pictures just for grins, but you already know the pies are dry.

By-the-way, the actual contents in the pot pie in no way resemble the pictures on the packaging. The people or machines that make the pot pies need to be worked on.

I sent the following message and contact info to your form on your website, this was 1/20/24 no one bothered to respond. I also sent pictures and took a screenshot of your confirmation saying someone will contact me.

Heres the message that I sent:

( I bought the above listed tv dinner today 1/20/24 at 3:20 pm at weis . I was eating it for dinner and I took a bite of the meatloaf and bit down on what felt like a rock inside the meatloaf, as you can see in the picture I took it was bone. This hurt my tooth and it still hurts. I still have the box and I saved the bone piece that was in your meatloaf and hurt my tooth, so that it would be available to analyze at the lab.

I would like to know what you are able to offer me to make up for the unsatisfactory harmful product that I spent money on and could not enjoy, but suffered from. I put my email, phone number, and address on the form.

I will expect that someone will contact me from your company with instructions on how to proceed forward and remedy this situation.)

This will be my last attempt to fill out your form. I will have to change how I contact you or who I have contact you if I do not receive a response.

Marie Callenders Meals - Fiction vs Fact
Slow Roasted Beef, more like 5 tidbits of collective tissue w/beef, quickly seared, dry and ever so chewy, not your mothers recipe for sure. Product is very misleading and darn near unfit for consumption. If cars were marketed and sold this way, car companies would be out of business. This used to be a quality product, will not purchase any longer.

I take it out of microwave and it literally looks like more than half of the fettuccine is missing, the sauce is super watery , I literally only had 1whole noodle out of that whole side and the rest looked like scraps of noodles, I was so disappointed!! I feel like I was cheated out of half a meal!! And what makes it worse is that is cost more than the regular meals! Do not waste your money!
