Product Description: Frozen "family-sized" lasagna dinner from the On-Cor brand which is prepared either in your oven or microwave. I purchased this product at one of our local grocery stores yesterday evening for around $3.00 and prepared it as a dinner for two for my wife and me last night, cooking it in the microwave.
Review of On-Cor Family Size Lasagna with Meat Sauce

I purchased this for dinner last night. Read to find out what I thought of it.
Review
My wife has been fighting some sort of bug for the past couple of days and, because of this, I told her I would take care of dinner yesterday. This resulted in a trip to the store and, since it was already starting to get late (I had to wait for my oldest daughter to get done with her theater group), I looked for something simple. This ended up being an On-Cor Family-Sized Lasagna in Meat Sauce.
This is a product I've purchased in the past, usually for reasons similar to the ones that led to last night's purchase.And, for the most part, I think it is a pretty decent product, at least if you're looking for something in a pinch.
One thing, in particular, I like about this product is the price. This is much more affordable than most of the other frozen lasagna choices. In fact, I purchased this for about the same price I would purchase a single-serve portion from some other brands. Considering I don't get paid until tomorrow, this was somewhat important last night.
Also, the lasagna does have a good flavor to it. It's definitely not as good as homemade lasagna. But, at least when compared to most of it's frozen counterparts, I really have no complaints. There's a decent amount of meat in the sauce and the sauce itself has a good blend of seasonings in it.
My only real complaint about this product is it isn't overly filling. It's advertised as being family-sized. But, in reality, there's only really enough for two adults. Even then, my wife and I usually have to make a salad or have bread sticks with it in order to make sure we had enough to eat and aren't snacking an hour later. As a result, I would only recommend this product if you plan on having something with it like we do or want it for a lighter meal.

Final Opinion
As long as you have a salad or bread sticks to eat with this product, it is a frozen lasagna I would recommend. It's affordable and has a decent flavor, two things that do make it a brand I will continue to purchase.

Comments
StevenHelmer, Thank you for product lines, pretty pictures and practical information.
As I mention in other wizzleys that you've shared with us all about edible products, I appreciate knowing about the "A" and "B" grade comestibles. The former especially and usually the latter can be added to extend what I serve when there are more guests or more re-serving requests than anticipated.
What kind of salad would you and your wife recommend?
Thanks for reviewing these kitchen products they look good to me.
