OK Julie. I did the side by side comparison yesterday. I usually
buy the large ravoli or the lasagna but for this comparison I
bought Beefaroni only because that was the only one in store
with both versions.

Regular version is very watery (soupy). Way much water in it.
Beef is hardly recognizable. No garlicy taste worth mentioning.
Put this on your plate and it will run over the entire plate.

Throwback version is thick, no running from the pile. You can
pile it up and it stays piled up. Lots more beef and a much
better flavor all around. It's definitely a huge improvement in
texture and taste.

IMO, this 'Throwback' version is worth every extra penny compared
to the regular stuff. If that was their original recipe years
ago, shame on them for dumbing it down just to save pennies since
then.

I do buy 3-4 cans per year and I WILL buy the Throwback from now
on.
