Chef Boyardee Overstuffed Italian Sausage Ravioli, 15 oz, 12 Pack

Just as I expected

I was really surprised by how good and filling these were! Firstly I’ve been eating Boyardee since I was a kid. And the last time I can remember eating the cheese raviolis was maybe the late 80s, early 90s. They seem to be a bit hard to find and expensive if you can find them. These finally came down to normal price here on amazon, I paid just 11$ for 12! What blew me away about these is the sauce is thick and robust, not light and watery like the beef raviolis. There is also a different flavor to the sauce here and I wish all boyardees used this sauce. Some delicious easy quick meals on the cheap here. Add a lil bit of grated Parmesan a touch of pepper and oregano with some bread and you are set. Highly recommend these if you can get them properly priced, especially over the beef ones

I'm not a fan of canned food as a rule -- I just prefer to make things "from scratch" whenever I can.But there are times when I just don't have the luxury of being able to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so I like to have a variety of canned and frozen "entree"-type dishes on hand for those times.This is one of those items. You get quite a lot in a can, which, when I purchased these, cost around a buck and a quarter per can. The pasta is not too thick, and the Italian sausage flavor definitely comes through. The sauce isn't the best, but add some grated or shredded parmesan on top, and it's not bad at all. It can be heated in the microwave or on the stovetop. It's one of those things to have around for those snowy days when I can't get out to the store, or when the power is out (my stove is gas, and I also have a small gas grill that can be used on my covered deck or in the garage with the door open part way).OK, this isn't for serving to company, and it's certainly not upper-division gourmet fare, but for a quick rather tasty supper in a pinch, it's a decent choice.

Tasty and should make one or two bowls for the average person

The last time I tasted the Chef's canned ravioli, I was a little kid and I loved them...which is why I ordered a case of the stuff. Big mistake.Chef Boyardee Overstuffed Italian Sausage Ravioli might be the perfect food for five year olds (especially if you don't care if they ever see six). The label claims "1/2 cup of vegetables in every serving," but the ingredients show it's mostly wheat, high fructose corn syrup and those multi-syllable non food things like stabilizers and food coloring.Of course if something tastes really good, I don't mind ingesting some doubtful igredients. I love chili dogs and I know that the stuff that seeing what went into a hot dog would make me cringe. But the taste is so good, I can get past tht. Chef Boyardee's product doesn't make you want to overlook the ingredients. It is not that good. First of all, the pasta is pasty and flavorless, with no discernable texture. The sauce, while full of tiny, mildly sausage flavored lumps, is very bland and with a slight sweetness that would spoil the taste for any discerning adult. This is baby food at best. Any kid who can eat a bowl of Lucky Charms without running away from home will probably love them.The label also indicates that a 15 ounce can provides two servings. It's mostly that sweet sauce, so I don't think an adult would be happy with half a can. Although eating the entire can seems like cruel and unusual punishment. I am not a purist and eat canned foods on occasion...Dennison's no-bean chili (on those chili dogs!), Hormel corned beef hash and roast beef hash (with a fried egg on top...really good); Hormel canned tamales are pretty good too...not nearly as good as the real thing, but not horrible either). And I eat a lot of canned soup--Juanita brand menudo is terrific. I know the home made stuff is better, but I'm never going to make menudo or tamales from scratch, so the canned varieties are a somewhat acceptable substitute. Not so the ravioli. I may never make ravioli from scratch either, but I'll do without before trying Chef Boyardee's offering again. It is not an option.I am not a prepper; I do keep some extra cans of this and that in the hall closet, along with water, extra catfood, batteries and about 30 flashlights. In other words, I'm a somewhat disorganized compulsive shopper who is afraid of the dark. I don't expect the world to end, but if there is an emergency, going hungry and thirsty won't help, so having something to fall back on isn't a bad idea. On the other hand, when the stuff hits the fan, try just calling out for pizza. If the situation so bad that you can't get Dominos on the phone, if it is The End of The World as We Know It, if the grid goes down, the dollar collapses, nuclear winter settles in, the zombies are marching, alien space ships hover overhead, an EMP knocks out everything electronic, solar flares shut us down and there's no place to run, just reach for the gin bottle. Sometimes that's the only smart alternative.Anyway, three stars because there is sausage of sorts in the sauce, I suspect youngsters will lap it up, and despite some chemicals, this is probably better than many other junk food options...certanly better than those strips of fried processed "chicken" from fast food outlets. And if you're used to eating spaghetti-Os and other pasta out of can, the texture and blandness won't come as a surprise. For those reasonas, a Fair (but not Good) rating.

Very tasty. This is the type of Cheese Ravioli I used to eat as a kid. For whatever reason, I can't find them in the stores here in Southern California. All of the canned Cheese Ravioli out here feature different sauces which are not to my liking. But this one tastes exactly like the ones my Mom bought for me as a kid.

Made me sick as a dog. I'm still recovering from eating it yesterday. The sauce was incredibly thick, like heavy paste - so it may have been bad. It also had high fructose corn syrup, which is not in the meat ravioli, and which I avoid. Also, tasted like paper - if there was cheese in it I sure didn't taste it.

Here in southwest Philadelphia only the meat filled ravioli are distributed. That's what a couple of managers from different stores impressed upon me. Wondering if it's a West coast - east Coast thing. I love this CHEESE ravioli chef boy r dee. Been eating since a kid when on Saturday I would watch George the animal steel on wrestling.I can fills me up for a lunch that I wanted in a hurry. Shopping costs were too much then came prime. Much more affordable so I buy two cases of it.
