Tesco Value Meatballs In Tomato Sauce

I have loved tinned meat balls in tomato sauce since I was a child and my toddler son has the same taste. I have only ever eaten bought the branded product. I bought a can of the value meatballs from Tesco's after reading a positive review on Dooyoo however I still felt dubious and these have lingered in my cupboard. However my son currently has a cough and cold and sore throat so have been trying to think of tasty soft foods to tempt him to eat. I did intend to make him once more the branded Meatballs as I know it is something he does like but as there were none in the cupboard it was time to try the value range. The meatballs are 38p for a 392g ...  Read the complete review

Being bored with my usual food choices, I've taken to trying out the Tesco Value range a lot more. Pottering through the Tesco aisles, I spotted their Value range of meatballs, and at 38p per tin, I thought I'd give them a go. Product: The value range of packaging is pretty standard and easily recognisable. They appear to have put slightly more effort into the packaging than a few years back; treating us with a picture of the product! I'm easily pleased... The tin tells it like it is; 'Meatballs in tomato sauce'. The nutritional values per serving (half of a 392g can) are as follows: Calories - 240 Sugar - ...  Read the complete review

I was served up a bowl of meatballs, pasta sauce and spaghetti recently and really lapped it up. I normally have my spaghetti bolognese with something like a ragu sauce and either minced beef or something like TVP mince.

My meatball bolognese left my mind for a while until I was in Tesco one day and my eye caught the words 'Meatballs' on the side of a tin, ...  Read the complete review

In an attempt to reduce my shopping bill, I bought a can of Tesco value meatball in tomato sauce. My daughter enjoys pasta or spaghetti with meatball on a regular basis. The meatball were only 29p a tin which I though was very good value compared to other brands. The tin is identifies by the basic label white with blue strips it also has a photo or some very tasty looking meatballs. The meal.

They need to be on a gentle heat if the hob is too hot sauce will pop out everywhere. There is a ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the Tesco Value Meatballs In Tomato Sauce for 29p from my local Tesco superstore. They come in a basic can which does not have a ring pull but can easily be opened by any basic tin opener. The label is white with a red band and bares the blue & white Tesco Value logo so it's easy to spot on the shelves. You get 392g and these can be cooked on the hob (in 4-5 minutes) or in the microwave (cooking times vary from 3 1/2 minutes - 2 1/2 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave). I personall cook these on the hob and prefer to serve them with rice or mashed potato. The sauce is not to rich, quite ...  Read the complete review
