The second image is of the meal just microwaved. The third image is of the meal from the conventional oven, with a bit of ketchup on the meatloaf and ~2tbsp of Kerry Gold garlic and herb butter to the potatoes 5 minutes toward the end of baking.

The conventional oven didn’t make a discernible difference. The ketchup added a pleasant sweetness and flavor. The butter in the mashed potatoes knocked it out of the park; it made them fluffier, richer, and generally tastier.

It’s one of my favorite frozen meals. It’s simple and straightforward, and doesn’t taste as highly processed as you might expect. It’s damn near impossible for any frozen meal to get a perfect score IMO. I took off another point, because it would be nice if it had a second side. I always accompany it with a can of corn that I heat on the stovetop with butter and salt, that brings it up to a 9/10.
