Mrs. T's Potato & Cheddar Pierogies - Food Review

I get great satisfaction from preparing and serving homemade meals for my family. With two active children and a husband's work schedule that can throw me a curve from time to time, this is not always possible. Thankfully, my entire family loves Mrs. T's Potato & Cheddar Pierogies. This frozen dinner is not quite affordable, it takes only minutes to prepare and is very tasty as well.

This frozen food food product costs less than four dollars for a sixteen ounce box. Two boxes easily feeds my family of four and usually lends itself to leftovers for the next day. This low price easily fits into my food budget no matter how tight I find it at the end of the month.

Preparation of these delicious cheese filled potato puffs can be done in a variety of ways. They can be deep fried, grilled, sauteed or boiled. I choose to boil this dinner item, so that its the method I will discuss. After bringing two quarts of water to a boil on the stove, the frozen pierogies get added to the pot and then allowed to simmer for approximately five to seven minutes. The puffs should be nice and soft before removing them from the heat source. The pierogies then get drained in a colander to allow the residual water to escape. They are then ready to serve with your favorite condiments and side dishes.

One three pierogi serving contains only one hundred and seventy calories. There is two point five grams of fat per serving, with one gram from Saturated Fat. There is absolutely no Trans Fat in this frozen food item. Each serving has five hundred and ten milligrams of Sodium, which may be a drawback to some consumers. Thirty three grams of Total Carbohydrate is consumed in this serving size as well as one gram of Fiber and one gram of Sugar. There is not a wealth of positive nutrients, but there is some. Each three piece pierogi serving offers five grams of Protein, ten percent of Vitamin C, four percent of Calcium and eight percent of Iron.

Spicing up this meal according to the preferences of family members is a cinch. Sour cream, butter or even salsa can be added as a dipping sauce or extra layer of flavor. A side of crisp vegetables or a healthy salad can easily round out this meal.

I consider Mrs.T's Potato & Cheddar Pierogis to be an excellent frozen dinner. The quality is always of the highest level. The potato flavoring is abundant and the cheddar cheese filling is rich and flavorful. The versatility of this fast and convenient meal is a great benefit to busy parents who must contend with an assortment of needs and food preferences within the family. I give this convenience meal an enthusiastic five star food rating and happily recommend it all.
