Walmart’s Freezer Aisle Is Full of Hidden Gems — and These 5 Items Make Delicious Dinners

Keeping your freezer stocked with delicious frozen meals is the key to stress-free weeknight dinners when time is tight, but it requires considerable effort to identify which items in the freezer aisle should become staples in your home. The best premade ingredients and dinners are flavorful, budget-friendly, and easy to prepare. A combination of all three qualities makes dining in much more convenient, and fortunately, the largest grocery store in the country has nailed it.

TikTok creator Morgan Chomps (@morganchompz) has amassed a loyal following by reviewing and recommending her favorite Walmart finds, featuring a dedicated series on the major retailer with over 250 videos. From Walmart dips and breakfast staples to seasonal products and frozen meals, she covers it all. When it comes to what’s worth your time in Walmart’s frozen section, Chomps is an expert. Stock up on her favorite picks to make your life easier and more delicious.

Great Value Beef Shepherd’s Pie

The Beef Shepherd’s Pie from Walmart can be the ultimate weeknight meal when you’re craving something comforting and classic. Each pack is priced at about $8, though this may vary depending on the store location.

The pie is made with ground beef in a hearty sauce (including tomato paste, beef stock, garlic, and corn starch), onions, carrots, corn, green peas, and of course, topped with buttery, creamy mashed potatoes. Chomps is a fan of the frozen Shepherd’s pie as it “actually stays together when reheated and lets you experience this dish without all the prep work and leftovers.”

Great Value Spicy Chicken Filet 

If you’re a fan of heat, Chomps notes that these Spicy Chicken Filets have a “pretty good level of spice” and recommends preparing them in an air fryer for maximum crispiness. Pick up some buns while you’re at Walmart and turn them into quick chicken sandwiches, or serve them as cutlets with gravy drizzled on top—this ingredient is perfect for quick yet customizable meals.

Each package is priced at around $13 and includes 12 servings, making it a steal for a family dinner. For extra flavor, the crispy breaded chicken breasts are seasoned with paprika, onion powder, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, and salt. 

Great Value Cinnamon French Toast Sticks

The Cinnamon French Toast Sticks are “undoubtedly one of the best items at Walmart,” according to Chomps. Priced at $3.16 per box, they make a great addition to a Sunday brunch spread or provide a quick breakfast on school mornings when paired with fresh fruit. They don’t have to be limited to breakfast, either; they would also make an excellent late-night sweet treat with some whipped cream or maple syrup.

The lightly fried French toast sticks from Walmart are coated with a cinnamon-sugar blend “that changes the French toast stick game,” Chomps says. They can be prepared in the microwave or baked in the oven, but for the best cooking method, the creator finds that air frying the sticks gives them a golden brown color and a “satisfying, crispy crunch on the outside,” while the inside remains “soft and pillowy.”

Great Value Mexican-Style Lasagna

While it may not be a traditional dish in any cuisine, Walmart’s Mexican-Style Lasagna makes for a flavorful main course, according to Chomps, and features ground beef, cheese sauce, salsa, beans, cheddar cheese, and crispy tortilla crumbs. 

Chomps notes that the flavors of this frozen lasagna remind her of enchiladas, albeit with layers of pasta instead of tortillas. From the crunchiness of the tortilla crumbs to the gooey nacho cheese and soft lasagna sheets, she says that “all these textures work really well together.”

The “party size” version of this lasagna costs just under $15 and serves 11 people, according to the details on the packaging. If you need even more reassurance that you should try this one, Chomps isn’t the only fan. Another user on TikTok also praises the Mexican-Style Lasagna and says, “This is one of the best meals we’ve ever had.” (Due to its popularity, this item may be sold out at some locations — so keep an eye out for when it’s available.)

Great Value Italian-Style Meatballs  

Spaghetti and meatballs is a classic comfort food and one of the childhood staples I keep coming back to. For anyone who feels the same way, having a quality bag of pre-cooked, Italian-style meatballs in the freezer is key to enjoying this meal on a busy evening. 

To express her love for the meatballs from Walmart’s Great Value brand, Chomps says, “I don’t think I’ve ever eaten [more] meatballs in my entire life than I have in the last month or so.” She explains to her followers that these morsels are incredibly flavorful and juicy with a “bitey parmesan essence.” The family-sized bag is priced at $7.47, and the meatballs are made with beef, pork, gourmet seasoning, and bread crumbs.

Keep these in your freezer, store spaghetti in the pantry, and have a jar of tomato sauce on hand, and you can enjoy a hot dinner whenever you desire.
