Canned beef ravioli, lasagna and Beefaroni. They are using an old recipe to make these. Not sure which recipe it is because they have changed the recipes over the years. For most of my adult life, I bought nothing of that brand. But I remember the day that I did. Can't remember the whole story but I do remember showing Angela a can and telling her that was what I ate as a teen. The ravioli that is. Never liked Beefaroni and never tried the lasagna. After that, I would buy a few cans when it was on sale for 88 cents. Of course the ravioli I make is much better and even frozen is better. But there is no egg in the canned stuff. Need to find a way to make it with no egg. I was given a recipe but lost it. Anyhoo... I ordered three cans of the Throwback ravioli from Amazon for $1.58 each. I believe this is a marked down price as I had seen the Beefaroni and lasagna in a few brick and mortar stores for around $3. I tried the stuff last night and flat out didn't like it! Quite honestly, I can't remember what it tasted like when I was a kid but I did drown it with parsley and Kraft Parm. to eat it. Anyone tried the Throwback stuff? I have not tried this product but the appeal of a cheap meal in a can that you can shove in front of your brat's face to keep them their yaps occupied for a short while is undeniable. I was at the store today and saw a can of Beef-A-Roni so I bought one. I showed it to my granddaughter and she said "Eww, that's disgusting!" Evidently, she is familiar with Beef-A-Roni. --- That stuff truly is disgusting! IMHO, all those Chef Boyardee canned pastas in sauce (Beef-a-Roni, Ravioli, Spaghetti with Meatballs) are essentially the same. Only the shape of the pasta is different. I never tried the spaghetti with meatballs. Not a fan of meatballs. To me the Beefaroni was different. Seemed kind of chalky or something. I bet the gardener heated it up and served it to yoose. |

No but he did ask me to make rye bread with cinnamon in it. We'll see how that comes out. |

New BF is also a foodie. But his tastes and mine are not the same when it comes to food. The gardener did love the Pad Thai that I made the other day. Said it was way better than what I got at Costco. |

Anyone tried the Throwback stuff? Geez Julie-o, you didn't like it? lol Why is NOBODY here surprised? ![]() Anyway, I always keep 2-3 cans in my pantry just as easy food for hurricane season or just lazy nights. I ate the last one about month ago so actually had them on my grocery list for the next trip. Never even heard about the Throwback kind so I looked it up. Supposedly back to the old days when it was made much better or so. Well I went to the store and bought 2 cans yesterday: - the regular kind for 99 cents - the new Throwback kind for $1.50 OK so next time I'm in the mood I'm going to open both cans and have a side-by-side comparison. The Throwback cost 50% more so it should taste much better. I'll just see about that though. |

Or just a picky eater that's never experienced hunger. All those Chef RD cans basically have the same sauce and meat, just the pasta is different with different mouth feel. Difference in taste is very minimal. |

To me, the Beefaroni is more mushy and has a weird meat texture. The meat isn't in chunks. Just very tiny bits. |

Will be good for breakfast! |

If it was so much better in the old days why did they change it? Gotta love marketing! At any rate, it's still just canned pasta in sauce. If/when you do your taste test I'd be interested in hearing the results. I'm not going to watch a youtube video about it. Jill |

Will be good for breakfast! Did you also add sugar to that cinnamon rye bread dough? I've got rye bread. I might try a bit of cinnamon on a corner just to see how it tastes. |

To me, the Beefaroni is more mushy and has a weird meat texture. The meat isn't in chunks. Just very tiny bits. Again, I think it's all the same ingredients/recipe, just with different pasta and texture. None of their meat is in "chunks." It's all ground very fine unless you are talking about the ravioli where a good cube of ground is inside and all alone. If you somewhat like the ravioli, skip the small ones and buy those cans of large over-sized raviolis. Again, same ingredients but I do like the texture difference with each bite. |
