20 Best Cheeses For Lasagna (2022 Updated)

This is my favorite hamburger helper. I live alone but have very close neighbors. Cooking facilities have limited room to cook. When I buy this hamburger helper I get the double box size plus 2 pounds of beef, turkey, sausage or a mixture of meat products.

I might add a vegetable. However I do make a huge pot of hamburger helper. I save one bowl for leftovers and make one big bowl for as many friends that I have food, Some garlic bread goes well. I might know these people I might not and have never had the food refused.

Everyone loves hamburger helper and there are many people out there who cant get food or have a empty fridge but would never say anything. Like seniors. I brought a casserole dish of Hamburger helper to an older could with fresh melon just because I thought they would like it.

They were so excited. Or the hard working young girl with 2 small children. Making pasta from scratch takes time and money. Hamburger Helper is a much less expensive and tastes great. Don’t forget to add a couple slices of cheese on top.

Hope this helps.

What would make anyone with authority at Betty Crocker decide to change the recipe for this 1 time national favorite? I’ve noticed other flavors changed well. I used to use and love this years ago. I bought some a couple months ago since i had not had it in a couple years.

It was disgusting!!!!!. I was in a hurry to prepare it and after a few bites, i thought maybe i forgot something. I checked the box instructions yep all was followed correctly. I did notice it was a month past the Best Before date so i thought for the 1st that wow these dates due mean something.

I only ate 1/2 of the meal and tossed rest. Well, bought another “new” box this week and tried it, prepared/cooked the same as all those years i loved it, and yep, same terrible/bland taste with no flavor at all.

I did eat a plate but like the last time the leftovers will likely be tossed. I;m being nice with the 1 star as i did get almost 1 meal from it, however i will never buy anymore of these Hamburger helper boxes again and will always pick the other brand products instead of Betty Crocker.

Don’t fix what isn’t broken and if you ever do revert back to original recipe which by the looks of it yo should, be sure to acknowledge the change on the box. bad decision to change BC.

I would rate this with less than zero stars if I could. This is one of the worst inexpensive dinners I have ever had. I get it. how much am I supposed to expect for a box of dry ingredients that cost less than two dollars? Almost no flavor, mushy noodles, the list goes on.

I followed the recipe on the box exactly and used better than average ground beef, which only makes this more frustrating. I couldn’t even finish eating it because it was so horrible. The best part of this meal was throwing the leftovers in the garbage.

Please do consumers a favor. Remove this from your lineup and never produce it again.

Please bring back the original recipe. This is so bad now. My family used to eat this and your old Cheesy Nacho box (which you sadly just got rid of) but the recipe is so bad now. We always buy a new box every year or so hoping to see if you’ve brought the original back but you still haven’t.

It’s sad. If you want to keep this one you should at least bring back the old and call it classic. I’d even pay more for it. Because this versions extremely bland and tasteless.

This time I am using these Mozzarella Pearls in a salad of halved cherry tomatoes, cubed watermelon, prosciutto, olive oil, a spritz of vinegar, salt and pepper for a refreshing salad. I have also used them as well as the big Mozzarella ‘ball’ to make a Caprese salad with tomatoes, olive oil, Italian herbs, salt and pepper or on Pizza English muffins when I needed something quick.

They are also delightful marinated with Italian Herbs, a little salt, pepper and olive oil as a snack or small side dish.

One of my kid’s favorite side dishes is these pearls with cherry tomatoes on a toothpick with olive oil and garlic salt! I prefer them broiled with tomatoes on sourdough 😋 I love that they are fresh, melt easily and the price point is ideal.

Are they healthy? Well as healthy as cheese is! I love that there aren’t a lot of ingredients, just milk, vinegar and enzymes—so I feel good serving to my kids. Of course the taste is fantastic!.

I started buying the BelGioioso pre-sliced mozzarella when Sam’s stopped carrying the BelGioioso mozzarella pearls. Like the flavor of this just as well, but preferred the pearls because they came packaged in 8 oz.

portions, while the slices are packaged in 16 oz. portions. Have had a problem sometimes using it up before it decides to start getting mold on it. Recently started making a brine solution to store it in – hopefully that will help it keep longer.

Much preferred over Kraft. I had Kraft parmesan cheese leftover and did a side-by-side testing of both. I was pleased with the Mama brand over Kraft. Kraft’s was too refined (highly grated), whereas Mama’s was not, and the taste of Mama’s was better.

I hope Mama’s brand remains available because if it is, I don’t intend on buying Kraft again.

High quality! Parmesan cheese is a staple in our house, and the Kraft brand was out of stock. Luckily I tried this brand and it was amazing! It tastes just like the parmesan cheese we get at the local Italian restaurant.

Very pleased!.

Love this cheese. It is so flavorful compared to other brands I have tried. Will definitely purchase this brand again

Awesome products a friend purchased us a nice assortment of things from here we enjoyed everything! We loved the cheddar cheese so much we ordered a pound of it. The shipping was a bit pricey but well worth the quality of the cheese.

Would order more often if the shipping was not so much. Only down side to there products.

I order the Big Red Cheddar Cheese every year. One of my family’s favorite cheese. Excellent to put on grilled cheese sandwiches and egg omelets.It always have that Great Cheddar flavor.

Very good cheese and beef log. We ordered some for my daughter and son in law. They love getting it as part of there Christmas gifts. We also ordered some for us. Cheese mellow but very tasty and the beef log was very tasty.

one of the better lasagnas. All the cheese that are supposed to be there, are there. Sauce could be a little better (the trick is to cook the sauce for hours and using the right spices), but still decent.

How other companies call it lasagna, and not a stich of ricotta can be found, amazes me. Found the recommendation in a dependable article reviewing 20 frozen lasagna meals, and I was both shocked and skeptical until I tried it.

I love Stoffer’s Lasagna. and really miss the vegetarian (garden) variety. but I love the Cheese Lovers one. Nine oz in simply not enough for my supper so I get the 10. 75 size. When I see 9 oz, for a meal I think they are talking about a kid’s meal.

The person who said they didn’t get enough or like the Sauce. When I have a dish like this, I keep a jar of Classico pizza sauce on hand and add some of that. Whatever the Italian sauce dish. it is good, if you want more to add the Classico sauces.

Except for the Alfredo cream sauce, they last a long time in the refrigerator. For a SENIOR (80) year old, that hates cooking for one, I live on the frozen dinners. so I have to dress them up a little on the side.

I add tony Chachere’s creole seasoning. Just enough spice to help with the bland Alfredo dishes.

After receiving the vaccine (very grateful) – my arm sure did hurt. Could not lift it. I was not prepared to make dinner for my family. I remembered the Stouffer’s brand lasagna’s and called my hubby up.

We decided to pair this with a Caesar salad and a garlic bread fresh from the oven. Honest? It was a lovely meal that we were ALL grateful for after a long day. The lasagna flavor actually tasted along the same lines of my homemade- because of the chunky (real) tomatoes 🍅 in the sauce.

You can taste the meat. The ricotta and mozzarella is great. 👌 If you are in a hurry- we recommend. Oh- just know they TAKE WAY longer to cook than what the box says- plan at least 45 – 60 min longer.

Best of luck! 💋.

My family just loves the Stouffer’s Cheese Lovers Lasagna! This is especially great during the days when we omit meat from the menu for Lent. I bought these to have for dinner when we had our kitchen redone.

These frozen products are a blessing because it is expensive to order take out for every meal for the months when you are without a kitchen. It is easy to make and for the price, you can’t beat it! Whether you are eating lunch or dinner, it can become very expensive over time, especially if you are trying to feed a family! They can be made quickly in the microwave, toaster oven or even in hot air fryer! If you need to, you can cut up the lasagna and simply heat as much as you need, freezing the rest.

Belgioioso is my favorite. Not crazy expensive but has a lot of flavor. I grate it on so many different dishes. It’s got a little bite as well as being one of the lower calorie cheeses for me. I am on weight watchers so this cheese is very friendly and a little goes a long way which is important for me.

I keep a few wedges of this in the fridge at all times. It’s always available at the local grocery store, lasts forever in a ziploc bag in the fridge, and tastes great. I like this much better than preshredded.

Ill first say that I have a shake daily, usually after the gym or a run. Been drinking dozens of different ones over the years and making my own. I also tend to really enjoy most of the backpacking meals.

This item however was absolutely vile. It neither smelled like chocolate and banana or tasted like it. Soon as I took the first swallow my body rejected it and I started retching. Im an avid hunter, bad smells and bother me, but this thing was terrible.

DO NOT buy it. And always remember to test out your stuff BEFORE you get out into the field.

Stay far, far away from the Mesquite BBQ Chicken! Far away! I can’t believe they ever released this flavor. It smells good – but don’t be fooled! I barely finished my package, and I was almost gagging by the end.

I’m not usually very picky with food, but this flavor is terrible. Be warned! Zero stars for the Mesquite BBQ! Some other flavors are decent: Black Bart Chili, Peppered Beef with Rice, Spicy Sausage Pasta – they’re not amazing, but for a quick meal while backpack hunting they’re pretty good and enjoyable.

So my 3 star rating reflects my general experience with the AlpineAire meals, as it’s hit-and-miss with the flavor quality. Portions are also small. They say 2 portions, but I can easily finish the whole package myself, and still feel that I could eat more.

So, not really recommended, unless you are willing to risk some expensive and lousy meals to discover the decent ones.

I purchased this meal as a lunch during a hunt. I added the water to it and threw it in my backpack. An hour before lunch, I took it out and placed it inside my jacket to bring it up to a warmer temperature.

The meal itself had very good “mouthfeel” as in, the zucchini was a little crunchy, the chicken had a fibrous sense to it instead of feeling like ground chicken meal. I am a big guy, and found that the two serving package was enough to fuel me for the rest of the day until last shot.

Would recommend this meal.

Amy’s Organic is SO YUMMY! This brand has been a staple in my freezer for years!! Gluten free? you got it! Vegan? You got it! Amy’s has surpassed my expectations has always been tasty. I would HIGHLY recommend Amy’s to any every person in the world! p.

s. ALL dinners are always better when made in oven rather than micro but nuke it in a pinch babe!!.

Amy’s frozen lasagna meals are always a winner. Don’t know what to eat? Crack open that Amy’s lasagna and throw it in the microwave a few minutes and you’re set. The only thing I could want to change about it is making the cook time faster, otherwise, a great delectable meal.

It is OKAY at best🥶 Some parts where there was cheese, those made the meal taste “okay”. Otherwise, definitely feels like a gluten free meal… and not a very good one🤔 The pasta itself tasted bad. Bland.

The sauce was on point. 👍.

I love Sargento cheese. There were times when the price was not in my budget. I then learned to purchase on sale. This cheese is always delicious. When I purchased another brand, my family noticed the difference.

In the future I will stay with Sargento chese, or not make the dish if Sargento cheese is not available in my household!.

Most definitely quality cheese. From homemade pizza to lasagna or right out of the bag, this cheese is quality. Exquisite taste, melts perfect. Remove excess air from bag store in cold part of your refrigerator, does not mold quickly like other brands.

A friend of mine recommended this brand because he’s in the business. I’m glad he did, as this cheese is simply the best. It’s creamy and melts perfectly. It’s not watery and yet is still very easy to spread.

The two best things about it is the taste, and the price. Really glad Target carries it.

Not a great ricotta! It’s kinda too sweet and has a gel-like consistency, like it holds to the shape of the container a bit too well. Also a bit grainy. Maybe this is due to the use of too many “gums” as another reviewer mentioned.

I wouldn’t buy this again unless I was having some kind of ricotta related emergency.

This ricotta is not the real deal – it was gelatinous and came out of the container in one piece, like the consistency of canned cranberry sauce. Tasted okay, just the texture was totally wrong.

Kraft is always the first shredded cheese that I reach for for. I use this mozzarella for toppings on pizza and inside dough for calzones. It melts well. Kraft shredded cheese is always flavorful and delicious.

I’m not entirely a huge fan of Kraft but I did try their shredded cheese. I purchased this at the commissary and the price was decent. I used this to sprinkle on to my toddler’s scrambled eggs but either I’ve been applying too much milk or maybe there is something I’m missing.

Scrambled eggs have some liquid that come out of it. Overall, it’s not bad! I just haven’t tried other brands but this Kraft brand is OK.

This mozzarella cheese is like a staple in our home, complements nicely so many different dishes. Great for making anything from lasagna, quesadillas to omelets.

There are many great uses for ricotta past just using it in lasagna. Spread it on toast and top it with sliced strawberries. This Galbani ricotta is delicious enough to eat as dessert with a spoon. Lots of calcium and protein.

I wish it also came in low fat….

This shredded mozzarella cheese is pretty good even if it is a bit expensive. I’ve been using this to make quesodillas, and it works well for that. The shredded pieces aren’t too thick, so they melt rapidly and evenly.

This makes perfecting the melt easier.

I tried this for the first time on a homemade flatbread pizza this week. cherry tomatoes + sliced mushrooms + fresh basil = PURE heaven! The cheese was delicious, perfect texture and amazing. All of Organic Valley products are the highest quality and I can always count on them to enhance any dish I create.

Thank you!.

I was born and raised on Stouffer’s, but I’ve been trying to cut back lately on both super processed foods as well as meat. I bought this one day on a whim because it looked good and OMG!!! My roommate, who is the furthest thing from vegetarian is likewise OBSESSED with this lasagna and says he doesn’t even miss the meat at all.

It cooks quicker than a frozen lasagna, it tastes waaaaaayyyyyyyy better, and it feels far less processed. 10/10 – would 100% recommend to vegetarians and omnivores alike!.

The flavor hooked me. I saw this and decided to give it a shot. i am so glad i did with an already buzy day the last thing on my mind was dinner. this was ready in 25 mins. 20 if you dont put it under the broiler for that extra toasted look.

add some dinner rolls and dinner is served.

I’m always on the lookout for the occasional decadent quick dinner that doesn’t have a lot of weird ingredients. This fit the bill. Get it. It’s yummy.

The cheese has a dense consistency, but at the same time it can be called crumbly. It tastes slightly salty. In general, Cheddar is a hard cheese of British origin. It is said that almost 51% of the country’s total income from the sale of cheese products is revenue from cheddar.

I really love cheddar of the SARGENTO brand, it is perfect for sandwiches and just for a snack. I recommend it!.

I’m not a huge Swiss fan unless it’s balanced well with other flavors. My husband on the other hand loves it. These slices are great because you get that Swiss flavor without overwhelming it. I like to use these on toasted/baked ham sandwiches.

Because they’re thin, they melt decently and also allow you to layer as much or as little as you want.

I have avoided buying this cheese because even I the bag it doesn’t LOOK good. I broke down and bought a bag recently because they have apparently stopped carrying any name brand of “regular” (as opposed to “gourmet”) mozzarella.

Well I was right. This cheese is worthless. It won’t melt properly because there isn’t enough fat in it for proper melting. It doesn’t brown for much the same reason. Because it doesn’t melt properly, it doesn’t blister.

Because it doesn’t blister, it doesn’t brown. You need enough elasticity for blistering to occur but since it won’t melt properly (because there is not enough fat in it) it can’t blister. The only hope is to brush the top of the cheese with olive oil so there’s enough oil to facilitate melting, blistering, and finally browning.

I don’t know that even that will help at all, but I’m buying some olive oil to give it a try. I’m not hopeful that it has enough elasticity given its obvious lack in all other departments. And I’m not kidding.

It tastes like nothing. I would liken it to chewing rubber, but rubber has some flavor. This cheese packs down in the bag so you end up with a weird lump in the bottom of the bag. This is the worst mozzarella I can remember ever buying.

I will NEVER buy this cheese again. It may be cheap, but so is Velveeta.

This cheese is the BEST! It’s great as a snack, as a handful, alone, to quash your hunger for a little while. Or, put some on a cracker (use a plate underneath, since some of it tends to fall off while taking a bite!) and have it as part of an easy lunch.

It’s a superb addition to a green salad, oil-and-vinegar-dressed pasta salad, or taco salad; it’s also good in soups. We often separate the bag into about 3 portions and put each into a ziplock bag. This is done I n order to keep the exposure to outside mold spore contamination to a minimum.

It stays fresh for a really long time— like a month, even! Of course, it is also marvelous on homemade pizzas— be they on French bread, raw pizza dough or English muffins. The whole family finds the flavor of the cheese to be quite delicious.

I’ve been buying the Stella block cheese from Sam’s for 9 years. I own a pizza restaurant. We shred our own cheeses. This pre-shredded cheese is rubbery, and does not cover pizzas well, making us use too much.

It is like pellets and does not melt evenly, even at 495 degrees. We tried blending it with other cheese and the texture is not good. It is so disappointing that Sam’s claims to be there for business owners, but I find it is more geared for bulk buying for the public.

Every time I turn around they are changing or discontinuing items that we have used for years. Bad for business. I can name at least 10 items we can no longer get there. Please bring back the blocks.

We were buying them by the case several times a week.
