Okay, we’re winding our way down the Chef Boyardee canned menu selection and after this week there’s just two weeks to go!

So let’s make our way through this week’s selection and keep moving along here

This week we’ll be sampling the Big Beefaroni and the Mini ABC’s and 123’s.

Let’s start opening cans and get this over with!

Here’s this week’s selections up in the MBIP cupboards.

——

Big Beefaroni

We’ll start off with the Big Beefaroni and there’s the birds-eye-view of this canned selection.

It looks a little frightening from this perspective, it kind of looks like chopped up intestines. Yikes!

There it is plopped into the pan and we’ll add a little pepper to season it up.

EXTREME CLOSE-UP!

Yikes, it really looks like chopped up intestines here. Not an appetizing picture here!

First Bite: Despite looking like chopped up intestines, these weren’t horrible.

Kind of bland and lacking in beef in spite of the name, Big Beefaroni, but these were just okay.

On to the next can.

Mini ABC’s & 123’s

8. miniabcs_8-6-21.jpg

Okay, I realized after I did this that I made a mistake. I should’ve got the plain ABC’s & 123’s, but I got the one with meatballs, which we’ve already done.

But you know what, fuck it, the pasta is the same, so we’ll just keep moving along here.

Here they are in the pan and getting peppered up.

First Bite: Just take my earlier review and leave the meatballs out of it.

Label, Reality, Rating

I’ll give both of them a One Chef Rating. They weren’t horrible but I’ll never eat them again.

My friend Sheila left this comment on facecrack last week:

Okay, Sheila, here you go, I did this just for you from today’s Chef Boyardee sampling!

14. sheila_8-6-21.jpg

4 SHEILA!

A math problem and a word spelled out dedicated just for you!

And now on to this week’s…

Hostess Treat!

I’ve had Ding Dongs in the past, but I’ve never seen Caramel Ding Dongs!

This is kind of exciting…okay, not really, but we can pretend!

16. microwave_8-6-21.jpg

Into the microwave they go and there are all chocolatey and melty. Let’s dig in!

17. tasty_8-6-21.jpeg

Wow, these are very sweet and a tasty Hostess treat!

I think they’re just a tad bit too excited about this Beefaroni dinner!

Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?
