Best lasagna I’ve ever had. No single ingredient overwhelms the final results. I chop and mix it up so that every ingredient flavor hits at the same time. Makes all Stouffer’s lasagna products inedible by comparison. Four times less expensive than Stouffer’s.

This is THE BEST frozen lasagna out there. It is perfectly balanced in ratio to noodles, ricotta, stringy yummy cheeses and sauce. The sauce really tastes homemade too – spicy and rich. For the price, this lasagna is a steal considering that making it from scratch is relatively expensive not to mention time consuming. On a final note: I am Italian and know a good lasagna ! Cheers and way to go TJ’s !

I thought it was kinda bad. Actually I’d say Stouffer’s is better. I mean nothing beat’s grandma’s lasagne, but I was pretty excited about this, and it’s ‘meh’ at best.

Best frozen lasagna I have ever tasted — I will make sure I always have one in the freezer — I made it in the oven rather than the microwave and it was delicious.

This is the best lasagna! It rivals all the finer Italian restaurant chains, but you can bake it at home on cold, wet nights when you don’t feel like getting out. I will always keep one in my freezer-it’s that good! Serve with a salad and garlic bread to fill up your family, otherwise, bake two to feed a family of four +.

The best frozen lasagna (it doesn’t even taste like it’s previously frozen). I set it out in the morning to thaw so it cuts down on cooking time. So easy and so delicious!!

Generous portions for a two-person meal, and it tastes great. (I accompanied it with two Southwestern Chopped Salad “kits,” which worked out really well for a last-minute meal I needed to put together quickly.) I’m definitely buying it again.

The size is perfect. Most lasagnas are too big for 2;people. Loved the taste too!!

This is the best lasagna I have eaten in years. Perfectly balanced sauce, perfectly distributed beef and pork, and perfect cheeses inside and out. I love that it crisps on the top for five minutes after taking off the cellophane. I am drooling while writing this!

Hands down best frozen lasagna anywhere and truthfully better than many in restaurant ones. I dress it up with a little oil oil and parm and even fresh basil to make it even better. Pair that with a traders joes italian red like a bottle of 1967, add a small salad and you have an incredibly delicious meal and at a great value too. Just really good. One package can serve 2-3 and for a family best to get 2. The best!

Best frozen lasagna I have had. Cooked in a conventional oven and I have to think that’s better than microwave, even though it takes over an hour. Enough for 3 or even 4 if you have something with it like meatballs or sausage & peppers and veggie.
One problem – has been out of stock for weeks at my TJ’s and don’t know when (if) it will be back.
PS: I’ve had Rao’s and Stouffer’s and they are not nearly as good.

Surprisingly good, it did not taste frozen at all. I used the oven, takes an hour but well worth it.

This tastes as good as any homemade I have ever had. Oven cooking for sure and another hit from my favorite store.

Very good. Just the right amount of spice and cooked perfectly well in the microwave. Be sure to follow directions carefully. We did and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Yesterday I was really Jonesing for lasagna, but I just wasn’t up to actually making a homemade lasagna after a hard day’s work. So I did a Google search on my phone for best rated frozen lasagna and Trader Joe’s popped up. I was right in the neighborhood of a TJs market so I ran in and bought one. I microwaved it instead of oven baking it. I’m not gonna lie… That is the best tasting frozen lasagna I have EVER eaten. The spices were really nice, there was a very generous amount of ground beef, the cheeses were very flavorful and pleasant textured, the sauce was not too sweet or too salty, just a really nice, pleasing, rich flavor. I kind of stuffed myself. I was pretty hungry, but it was the flavor and texture and fragrance that won me over. I had a nice Romaine lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad with it which made it a well rounded supper. Yeah, I definitely will be buying that product again. It’s some thing I’d like to keep in the freezer on a regular basis.

This is the best frozen lasagna I have tasted. The sauce is savory (not sweet, spiced well, noodles aren’t thick, like some others. The edges are crispy & the cheese, even after resting is stringy. Yum!!

I will never eat another lasagna ever again. Even better than restaurant lasagna. I will buy this in bulk now.

“As good as mom’s” is crazy. Blasphemous. The taste is alright, but quite muted. And it’s very watery and the noodles are chewy. I can’t tell if I’m eating soup or lasagna.

This was okay for a frozen lasagna, but wasn’t great.The sauce was too sweet I thought the flavor was okay but I prefer like Michael Angelo’s (Publix or Target)

I’ve had Marie Callender’s and Stouffer’s versions, and TJ’s is superior. You get enough for two meals, too, if you’re doing a solo supper.

I was pleasantly surprised that this is tasty for a frozen entree. Not super salty. Decent amount of meat and cheese. 4 servings per package, but should be 2 servings if you want to be satisfied, unless you have a small appetite or pair it with bread, salad and fruit to make an almost healthy meal. Lots of fat and sodium for 1/4 package.
