Every mom knows that there are days that we just don’t feel like cooking a big fancy meal. There are even days when I just don’t know what I should prepare. These are the says where I like to go to the freezer and pull out a TV dinner and call it a day.
We are fans of Banquet meals, which I can remember eating when I was a kid. My favorite was always the dinners that came with a dessert and I still love an occasional salisbury steak. Both of my boys love their chicken fingers dinner or the peperoni pizza, and they are ready in just minutes. There are so many others to choose from, if you are in a no fuss kind of mood.
Overview and History of Banquet
For 50 years, Banquet has been making the familiar foods that families love. From Salisbury steak to crispy fried chicken and turkey pot pies to chicken breast tenders, you can always count on Banquet to provide consistently good taste at a great value.
Banquet products include frozen dinners, pot pies, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, tenders and patties, Banquet wings, Homestyle Bakes, and Crock-Pot® Classics.
The Banquet brand began in 1953 with the introduction of frozen meat pies. Banquet frozen dinners first hit store shelves in 1955. The ’70s brought several different fried chicken offerings. Most recently, Banquet launched Homestyle Bakes and Dessert Bakes, and the brand revolutionized convenient, family-style cooking with the introduction of Banquet Crock-Pot Classics in 2004.
Now Banquet wants to give back to it’s loyal customers! They are giving away more that 16,000 cash prizes totaling $1 million in their Thanks A Million campaign. You can play by looking for specially marked Banquet single-serve dinner meals in your grocer’s freezer during the months of February, March, and April. So not only can you make a fun and easy meal but you could be a lucky winner. I could certainly dream up what I would love to do with a little extra cash. Read the Official Rules Here.

I wish it were that easy in my house.My boys and my husband refuse to eat tv dinners of any type (except kid quisine maybe twice a year for the boys). If I want an easy meal I get pre-made subs from the deli with chips or crackers and jello or pudding on the side.I have gotten away with the BBQ rib family size patties,but you still have to make side dishes so it is not realy easy.Any tips on how to sneak this past them so they cannot tell it is a premade dinner?
I’m going grocery shopping this week and I’ll be buying some of their products, especially some that are on sale in my location. Hoping to win that $100,000 prize, but if I don’t I’ll still be happy for whoever does.
I think Banquet foods taste good, and I grew up eating their pot pies from time to time as a kid. I like their family size entrees and I think they are reasonably priced where I shop.
