You can get some great foods in the back in the deli section of a Costco warehouse. One I tried and ate up was the "Swedish Meatballs with Fetuccini" (That is Costco's misspelling of fettucini, not mine.)

It is sold by the pound, I got it for $2.99/lb, but the price varies by location. It comes in a standard tray, about 4 pounds in the tray. You can find in the refrigerated section at the back of the store, near the meat department. Not all warehouses carry it. If you really want to try it and can't find it, go to the customer service desk and ask about item number 35866. They can look up on their computer and tell you which warehouses carry it.

It takes about an hour to cook in the oven, if you include the preheating time. The instructions say 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees. The microwave instructions are to just put it in and heat on "medium" until the internal temperature is 160 degrees. I recommend using the conventional oven with this dish.

The dish is delicious straight out of the oven, steaming hot. The meatballs are big, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You can't fit one in your mouth, you'll have to cut it in half. The fettucini is not too soft, yet fully cooked.

It contains wheat, milk, and eggs. So skip it if you are allergic to any of these ingredients.
