I never thought I would eat so many frozen meals. But it’s my job. So here I am, keeping tabs on new and exciting frozen meals hitting freezer aisles in grocery stores across the country. If you want to munch along with me and my microwave, here are the seven frozen meals (and frozen meal-ish things) I can’t wait to nuke and nosh.

Trader Joe’s Breakfast Bowl
We’ve tried a lot of frozen breakfast bowls and most of them are real stinkers. I have high hopes for this one from Trader Joe’s, though. You get scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, cheddar cheese, pork sausage crumbles, and bacon bits. It’s basic, for sure, but that’s what you want for breakfast. Nothing fancy. Nothing crazy. Just eggs, potatoes, meat. Yum.
New Kroger Private Selection Frozen Meals
Kroger is coming for Trader Joe’s internationally-inspired frozen meals with 17 new meals. I’m particularly looking forward to trying the Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice, the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, and the Beef Bulgogi. We’ll be reviewing these for the site, so keep an eye out.
Sea Cuisine Guinness Battered Shrimp and Battered Fish Strips
We’re fans of Sea Cuisine’s frozen fish fillets and I am a Guinness devotee (even though I don’t necessarily think it’s the best stout), so this Guinness x Sea Cuisine partnership seems made for me. There are two items: the Battered Shrimp and Fish Strips (Alaskan pollack), which are both coated with a Guinness-based batter.
Jose Ole Birria Beef Taquitos
Jose Ole makes some of the best frozen taquitos, so there’s no reason to believe these new birria-stuffed taquitos will be anything but delicious. They’re filled with braised beef seasoned with “birria spices.” The only thing that’s missing is some jus for dipping.
