HORMEL COMPLEATS Beef Pot Roast Microwave Tray, 9 Ounces (Pack of 6)

A great way to enjoy a classic stew on the go, or if you just don't have a huge appetite. Either way these are worth the buy

This is the best one so far, decent amount of a thick flavorful gravy with plenty of carrots and potatoes and actual pieces of real meat. A bit of fresh ground pepper is always good, and I like that this isn't salty either. Pair it up with your favorite bread, maybe a salad and you should feel like you had enough to eat. A word of warning regarding the containers for these meals - use a better microwavable container that has a vented lid because even if I cooked it in 30 sec intervals I think the concave bottom just builds up pressure until the whole dish basically explodes and it will do it more than once even after the microwave has stopped heating. No matter how well you vent it this will happen, potatoes have a role to play? I don't know just not willing to have to clean off enough of this meal from the roof and sides of the oven before I can eat it. Not willing to give up on the meal either, I like this one, used a paper bowl this time with a single half paper towel over it but will use another dish next time and will update. Another reviewer had the same thing happen to them and adjusting the power just uses same level of heat just cycles it on/off more or less times depending on choice. I think dish is to blame.

These aren't bad meals to have on hand for a rainy day, although on more than one occasion I found myself eating two for a single meal and not feeling as if it were quite filling enough. They're pretty small meals, individually, and I wouldn't recommend doubling up often; the sodium content is quite high.Still, a good-tasting, shelf-stable microwave pot roast meal that doesn't require refrigeration isn't to be sniffed at, and the small portion size does make it a good, quick meal for when you want to shut your stomach up before bed without necessarily eating a whole lot, or if you're going low-calorie in general and want to throw some variety into your menu. That sodium content really is something to keep in mind, though; you don't want to eat nothing but these for an extended period of time. Keep these in your pantry as an occasional light indulgence, not a main mealtime staple.I'm also inclined to say that a pack of six of these is a bit pricier than I'm comfortable with for the amount of food you get, even accounting for the shelf-stability of it. That said... they taste darn good. The only negative thing I have to say about the eating experience is that the beef itself falls apart too easily, so if you want some decent texture to your pot roast, it's going to have to be a pot roast from somewhere else.

Taste Great

If you can’t cook it suffices in a pinch.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This stores very well and I keep it in case of weather disasters. I keep a few of these in the pantry because they don’t require refrigeration and I can cook lunch in a couple of minutes.Ease of use:just pop it in the microwave and it’s good in 60 seconds.

We've got 10 people in our family, and believe me when I say they know what good food is. This is good food, just like all the other foods I got from Amazon. This order and a larger order of frozen meals came in from Amazon just a few days ago -- and I can't believe how fast all of this food gets eaten. I got these foods to help out neighbors in need. Well, that didn't work out so well since my bunch has been gobbling it all down. So listen to me on this, folks -- this IS good food and it will go fast.

I purchased these so I would have a meal that I would not get otherwise. In combination with a salad or vegetable, it provides a balanced, semi=filling dinner. The protein count was the highest in the meals I purchased, but they lacked imagination and tasted like box meals. Easy to store, easy to prepare when needed, minimal effort needed and minimal waste to dispose of. I had planned to subscribe because the price was nominal for what I perceived I was getting, but the taste didn't measure up to my hunger level. I did not enjoy these meals.
