Episode 123: Lean Cuisine Stuffed Cabbage

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master


There are some meals that don’t sound right and some that don’t look right. This Lean Cuisine Stuffed Cabbage meal had the distinction of being both. So would the Frozen Food Master be surprised by the taste or will his first impressions be accurate?

  • I originally was disgusted by the idea of this Lean Cuisine. One day they had a whole bunch on sale for a dollar so I thought it wouldn't hurt to pick a few up and eat as a snack. I was presently surprised by the taste. It actually was really good and quite filling. So deff give it a try.

    I also just discovered this website. For someone that relies purely on frozen food because I am too lazy to cook, I am so glad it exits! Thanks!
  • I actually LOVE stuffed cabbage. So when I first saw this item at the store I had to give it a try. And I completely agree with your rating on this one. Though I also agree with the others who recommend cutting it with a knife.

    And by the way - Cabbage isn't just a european thing... asians love it too! I'm part Irish and half Corean. Maybe that's why I love it so much!

    I actually like the LC stuffed cabbage very much! It's important that you eat it with a knife and fork. If you slice the roll, you can eat it all together. It will not cut with a fork, as you discovered. I think the sauce is quite tasty and I like to mix it with the 'tatoes. Oh, and it's not a new item at all... been around for years.
  • That's because they're still selling the first batch :P

    I love my mom's stuffed cabbage, but there's something weird to me about frozen pre-cooked cabbage. For $2.44 you can make your own!

    To answer the QOTD: Yes, I've had stuffed cabbage rolls before, and they were good... however, the Lean Cuisine stuffed cabbage (which I will admit I have not tried) does not look appetizing at all... if anything, that picture would inspire me to put the box down and back away slowly.
  • I do not like cabbage.
    I would not eat it in a tree.
    I would not eat it with a flea.
    I do not like cabbage.
  • 1. There are some foodstuffs which people don't realize really qualify as ethnic. Cabbage is one of them. We don't actually come to blows in our household when we debate Danish braised red cabbage v. sauerkraut, but there can be much rolling of eyes.
    2. I think that if you're not raised on the whole idea of cooked cabbage or sauerkraut, it's simply cole slaw material. Not to diss cole slaw, but it's a totally different puppy. Especially when it's served with smoked meats or piled on top of a pulled pork sandwich. YUM!
    3. I have tried to make stuffed cabbage, and it's a total pain. It's totally worth finding a good frozen version. I haven't had LC, but you gave it a rating high enough that I will try it.

    Never had stuffed cabbage..and I guess I would probably give it a shot, but probably not from Lean Cuisine. There are other products they make that are more my style.
  • I love cabbage. My mom made great stuffed cabbage and being of Irish decent boiled cabbage with butter is the best as well as cole slaw (of which I have a large homemade bowl in my fridge right now). Cabbage love seems to be kind of a thing among Irish, Germans, and various Baltic/Slav groups. But LC stuffed cabbage? Uh, no.
