The Pioneer Woman is Releasing Pre-Cooked Meals So You Don't Have to Lift a Finger

Sheena Chihak

Fans of Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman) and lovers of comfort food across the country, rejoice! Making a cozy comfort food dinner at home is about to get a whole lot easier. Starting next week, Ree is bringing her trademark homestyle cooking to the refrigerated section of Walmart stores. No meal prep, no pans to clean, no waiting upwards of an hour for a meatloaf to bake. Choose from her 10-item lineup of entrees, side dishes, and bowls and simply heat in the microwave (or oven, if part of the appeal of comfort food for you is filling your home with the enticing aromas of a hearty meal), and enjoy.

For those times you're rushed or just don't have time to prep and cook food from scratch...this is the next best thing!
