Microwave meal recommendations!

[MariaLynda]

During our kitchen refurb we are on a lot of sandwiches and a few ready meals.

Having just eaten a tasty but extremely oily M&s spag bol, does anyone have any recommendations for good microwave meals from a supermarket!? Reviews online are very mixed!

Morrisons do some nice ones, DH likes the tagilatelle with ham and mushroom, steal in ale with cheeay mash. Tesco do a mustard chicken ith potatoes which isnt too bad.

We have been getting the Morrisons frozen calorie counted ready meals to try and have something quick at lunch times.

I like the spaghetti bol, chilli con carne and chicken hotpot.

I don’t have for suggestions ready meals but have you thought about using a slow cooker? We cooked everything in our slow cooker during our refurb.👍🏻

Not been to morrisons since last year! May be worth a look for a few meals. Will see if DH will take me at weekend.

Garlic bread slices you can pick up from a supermarket work lovely in the toaster
I’m using a hob, so I’m able to do my own spag bol etc, but I can’t always be bothered as the room needs clearing of dust before I could sort food in it.
Beans on toast? Pre done baked potatoes?

OP do you have a George Forman (or similar) grill? When we were without a functioning kitchen for 3 months (don’t ask but thankfully pre-pandemic) I found that there were lots of meals I could create between the microwave, the toaster, the kettle and the Forman Grill and slow/rice cooker. If it has to be a ready meal we like Waitrose ones, but a toastabag cheese toastie and a soup, or vegetable rice and grilled chicken or salmon steaks worked well too. Good luck with your new kitchen.
