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

Let’s face it: not all ready-made meals live up to their promises. But the Dinty Moore Compleats Beef Stew is a rare exception—this hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal has redefined my expectations for convenience food. Whether you need a quick work lunch, a camping companion, or a fast, comforting dinner, this stew is ready to answer the call in just 60 seconds.Flavor That Brings You Back to the Dinner TableFrom the first bite, I was hit with that classic, home-cooked taste that instantly brought back memories of family meals around the table. The beef is tender, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the gravy? Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Dinty Moore has absolutely nailed the balance of flavors, making this stew taste like it’s been simmering for hours when, in reality, it’s ready in just a minute. This is comfort food at its finest!Tender Beef and Veggies in Every BiteThe beef in this stew is no joke. I was pleasantly surprised by how tender and juicy it was. Sometimes, with these pre-packaged meals, you get chewy or tough meat, but not here. Each piece is cooked to perfection, practically melting in your mouth. And the vegetables—carrots and potatoes—are soft but not mushy, retaining enough texture to complement the stew’s hearty gravy. Every spoonful is balanced and satisfying.Portion Perfect for Any MealAt 9 ounces per pack, the portion size is just right. It’s filling enough to serve as a standalone meal, but it also pairs beautifully with a slice of bread or a small salad if you’re looking to round out your plate. Whether you’re ravenous after a long day or just need a quick pick-me-up, this stew hits the spot without leaving you uncomfortably full. And with a pack of three, you’ve got multiple meals covered!Fast, Convenient, and Ready in 60 SecondsThe real magic of the Dinty Moore Compleats Beef Stew lies in its convenience. Busy day? No problem. Just pop the tray in the microwave for a minute, and you’ve got a hot, hearty meal ready to go. There’s no need for refrigeration, which makes it perfect for storing in your desk at work, in your pantry for emergencies, or even for taking on outdoor adventures like camping or hiking. The portability factor is a huge win for anyone with a busy or unpredictable schedule.Affordable Comfort at Your FingertipsIn terms of value, Dinty Moore knocks it out of the park. You’re getting three solid meals in this pack for a price that won’t break the bank. It’s an ideal option for students, busy professionals, or anyone who wants a comforting meal without spending a fortune. The taste and quality you get for such a low cost is genuinely impressive.No Mess, No Fuss, Just Good FoodI can’t overstate how much I appreciate the mess-free aspect of this meal. The packaging is sturdy and well-designed—no leaking, no spills, and cleanup is a breeze. You can eat it straight from the tray, which means fewer dishes and less hassle overall. It's a great option for those days when you just don’t want to deal with cooking or cleaning up a big mess.Conclusion: A Must-Have for Quick ComfortIf you’re looking for a fast, filling, and delicious meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor for convenience, the Dinty Moore Compleats Beef Stew is a no-brainer. It brings the comfort of a home-cooked meal to your table in just 60 seconds, with tender beef, flavorful gravy, and perfectly cooked vegetables that taste like they came from grandma’s kitchen.

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

I just tried the Dinty Moore beef stew for the first time. While the stew is very flavorful, & contains a fair amount of beef cubes, I knocked off one star because the stew was a bit more like soup, than stew..... or at least, it's more watery than any stew I ever made. I like the gravy to be thick, & clinging to every veggie, & piece of meat. The only vegetables I could recognize in this stew was carrots, & potatoes. I'd have liked to see onion included. Still, it's a "warm your tummy" good, filling, & quick lunch-time meal,... taking only 1 minute in the microwave oven to prepare.And you don't even need to mess up a dish, as the stew comes in its own bowl, but careful, your could burn your fingers as you remove the dish from the microwave. I use a clean, but used bowl from previous portions of Hormel chicken alfredo, (mmmm, my favorite!) to slip under the just-heated bowl, & it's perfect for handling your freshly cooked stew without getting burned.It seems that Dinty Moore, & Hormel are both from the same parent company, & use the same packaging.

Good price for easy lunch stuff at work.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Decent flavor and filling.

The beef stew is fantastic just like the rest of the entrees

My husband loves these so much I ordered a six pack for his work lunches. :D Otherwise he's always eating thin lunchmeat or chicken paddies without much protein in them. These meals help with getting him to eat enough protean. Would love it if they came with a few plastic spoons I always forget to buy some. :P Wonder if there's any flavors with reduced sodium? Will buy all the flavors often!

This is a regular go to stew when I don't feel like cooking. I just add my favorite ready made rice by uncle Ben and maybe a little salad or veggie and dinner is done. This saves a lot of time and energy in the kitchen because I don't have to cook everything. So I recommend this already done stew if you don't like to spend all day in the kitchen cooking.
