Make Dinner Easy With Michael Angelo’s Signature Line Meals

All ideas, recipes, & opinions are entirely my own however, this is a sponsored post on behalf of Michael Angelo’s™.

I almost forgot how hectic our nights would get after school started.  Between working, and any after school activities, I really don’t feel like spending hours prepping for dinner.  So this year I decided that I was going to give myself a break – and decided to do a little back to school shopping at Kroger’s.   In the Freezer aisle I came across Family Size Michael Angelo’s Meals. Our store carried the Eggplant Parmesan and Lasagna with Meat Sauce specifically in the Family sizes, so I grabbed 2 of the Lasagna for dinner that night.  They say that a Family size meal is supposed to feed 4, so I grabbed two since it would be all 5 of us eating (and I really don’t mind left overs for lunch the next day!)
They also had individual serving sizes – which would be perfect for a single person, or someone who’s wanting a “Small Batch from Scratch” meal!  I put those on my list for next week’s shopping spree.

 Here is a little bit of info on the Michael Angelo’s Signature Line Family Meals

• Michael Angelo’s Eggplant Parmesan
  • Made with fresh eggplant, lightly breaded, the right amount of Mom’s tomato sauce – made from hand selected, vine-ripened tomatoes – and topped with Mozzarella. Then sprinkled with a blend of imported cheeses – Parmigiano Reggiano & Pecorino Romano – to complete the dish
• Michael Angelo’s Shrimp Scampi
  • Made with linguini pasta, cooked al dente, and add plump, tender shrimp to our perfectly blended sauce made from lemon butter, and freshly diced garlic. It is then topped with diced tomatoes and garnished with a little parsley
• Michael Angelo’s Lasagna with Meat Sauce
  • Made with fresh beef, vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh herbs that are sautéed and layered with firm 100% semolina lasagna and topped with imported Pecorino Romano cheese from the old country.

Does this not look delicious?

Our family loves lasagna, but it just seems to take forever to make from scratch. And lately I have not been wanting to stand over the stove watching noodles cook, or browning hamburger to mix with the sauce and cheese.  Or have to run back to the store because you get half way through preparing something, and Voila, your missing one of the main ingredients.  (Which happens to me more often than not)
To prepare the Michael Angelo’s Meals all you have to do is Pre-Heat your oven, and take the meal out of the box and place it on a pan.  Just pop it in the oven when its warmed to the proper temperature and set the time!  That’s it!  This particular meal took 45 minutes to make via the oven.  Or if you really are in a rush for time, you can always throw it in the microwave oven – for approximately 15 minutes!

In our family you can’t have an Italian meal without some form of bread, so we added some Garlic toast as well.

I disposed of all the packaging before the family came in to the kitchen to eat dinner that night.  They all thought that I spent the time to make this Lasgana with Meat Sauce from scratch.  Shhhhh, this will be our little secret!
