This used to be the best frozen lunch wth happened to the recipe? I thought it had gone bad which is why I am here in the first place wondering what happened to it. The sauce is a completely different color now and the flavor has a weird aftertaste. awful.

Like others have said, this used to be one of the best Mega Bowls that Banquet made. Emphasis on USED to. Now that the recipe has changed, the sauce is watery, the pasta itself seems to just fall apart and all the flavor is gone. The only thing left is a "kick" of spice - but this cannot cover the complete lack of quality coming from Banquet here. Please do some R&D and fix this meal. There has got to be a way to restore the quality here without being too costly.

Bought multiple of these throughout early-mid 2024 and loved them.AS of October i've had multiple problems with this product. Cheese is missing or clumping making it inedible. I've had 3 out of 6 of them have the sauce not thicken and look like soup. The same problem as other reviews. I could recommend the product before all these issues arose but now stay away because half the time they are messed up in some way or form

First time I've had this. Actually bought 2. Surprisingly good and had a little bit of spice too it so liked it that much better. Dont understand the bad reviews. Mine was not watery at all and had plenty of sauce and meatballs with some decent amount of cheese. Filling and great for the price. Thanks, after seeing all the negatives thaught I'd leave a positive

I used to love eating these for lunch and a while back something changed. It is like buying something old from an old gas station. The boxes have tears or appear worn out. The plastic over the food stopped being sealed. The food just doesn't seem to have the same quality as before.

Filling portion unlike other frozen meals that are toddler size portions. Love the flavor has tiny bit of spice and a good amount of meatballs! Lately though I’ll sometimes get one with a somewhat watery sauce but overall my favorite frozen meal to get for lunch

I can’t tell if you guys are just so cheap that you decided to replace the sauce with water, or if one of the factory workers just got mad and urinated in this batch of food. This used to be my favorite frozen meal to pick up, but the sauce recipe has been watered down so much it’s not even edible anymore. I get wanting to save costs, but the sauce is literally the consistency of water. It doesn’t stick to the noodles at all. It’s ridiculous. I bought 3 and they all were like this. It’s not even a pasta dish anymore, it’s crappy soup you’d make out of a ketchup packet during the Great Depression. It’s bad and whoever approved this should feel bad.

Flavored Water is Not Sauce

The sauce originally was a paste with great flavor. Now, they're trying to cheap out the customer by using flavored water - I literally have looked at an orange-clear puddle on my plate for the last 5 tries. Don't get their products until they stop scamming people.

These were good when they first came out in stores, but now they are not good. The sauce is too watery and the noodles flavorless and rubbery.
