You might not remember the first time you ate Chef Boyardee, but you definitely remember this red can.
Sitting in the pantry next to boxed pasta, canned soup, and baked beans, it's always been the perfect lifesaver for lazy nights.
Pop the lid, pour it into a bowl, hit 90 seconds on the microwave, and you're done.
Inside are soft little square pockets of pasta filled with rich beef, all drenched in a thick, silky tomato sauce.
Real American comfort food.
warm, easy to eat, and incredibly nostalgic.
But that 90-second microwave meal comes from a full-scale industrial process behind the scenes.
Mixing the dough, rolling and cutting the pasta, grinding and seasoning the beef filling, cooking massive batches of tomato sauce in giant steel tanks, and running everything through automated systems that stuff, portion, sauce, and seal hundreds of cans every minute.
In this video, we're going straight inside the Chef Boyardee factory to see exactly how beef ravioli is made.
The smiling man with the big mustache on the Chef Boyardee can isn't just some random cartoon mascot.
