"depicting a bowl brimming with home fries, sausage crumbles, eggs, and melted cheese. We microwaved the breakfast bowl according to the directions, and the center remained frozen. Even after thawing the rest of the bowl out with extra time in the microwave, the result was watery and bland. The potatoes were soft and flavorless, the sausage was underwhelming, and the gravy did nothing but drown the rest of the ingredients in slop, further contributing to its off-putting texture."
"One YouTube review of Aldi's Breakfast Best brand Sausage and Gravy Breakfast Bowl lamented the lack of heat and flavor despite the bowl being a filling and hearty breakfast. Redditors echo that sentiment but still buy the bowl as a jumping-off point to more flavorful breakfast dishes. For example, one Redditor said, "I use them to make breakfast tacos or burritos...Just heat up the bowl, then either two good sized burritos or three good sized tacos. I add some shredded cheese and taco sauce.""
Aldi sells affordable groceries through private-label brands, and the Breakfast Best Sausage and Gravy Breakfast Bowl is promoted as a budget breakfast option. The product image appears full and appetizing, but cooking per directions can leave the center frozen and extending microwave time yields a watery, bland result. Potatoes become soft and disintegrate into pulp, the sausage lacks flavor, and the gravy overwhelms ingredients while creating an unpleasant texture with plasticky cheese. The bowl costs about two dollars, cheaper than name brands, and some consumers repurpose it into tacos or burritos by adding cheese and sauce.
