HORMEL COMPLEATS Protein Variety Pack (Pack of 5), 7.5 oz Microwave Tray– Microwave Meals, Prepared Foods

It’s great tasting, but they don’t give enough packs for the amount of money

I love these meals. I only have one complaint. The "roast beef" tastes more like a hamburger patty and not a very tasty one at that. My favorite is the turkey and dressing.

I thought great eats!

I purchased these to use for dinner at Disneyland and Sea World. They have a lot of sodium in them, but they don’t have to be refrigerated and are ready to eat, by peeling off the plastic lid. I did have to bring my own plastic utensils and napkins. I also had fruits, nuts, vegetables, string cheese, etc. to carry around with us, to supplement these. I was unable to heat them in the park at Disney, so we ate them room temperature. They had been stored in the lockers, inside the park, during the day so when we were finally hungry enough to stop and eat, these worked perfectly. They don’t look quite as good as the picture on the package, but as far as a quick, easy meal, they were great. All meal prices in the park are high and I had to feed a group of 7. When people are hungry they don’t complain as much. The day we went to Sea World we left them in the car with other food. At lunchtime I put them on the dashboard of the car, on top of the sunshade, in the sunshine. They were pretty warm by the time we stopped for dinner. Once again food prices are very high in the park, which made these look like a bargain. Are these better heated in a microwave? Absolutely. Would I buy these to replace regular meals? No way. Will I buy these again to eat room temperature when traveling in a car for over 5 hours though areas of the country that only has rest stops along the side of the road? Definitely. If I do end up doing more road trips, I might get a heated lunch box to heat these in.

The Hormel Compleats - Protein Variety, are easy to serve (just heat in the microwave for one minute), and they're good to use as a small meal when I'm in a hurry, and don't have time to make something. They're shelf stable too (before opening), so they're easy to store (doesn't take up space in my small fridge/freezer), and they're portable. They're small meals, but very filling. Unfortunately, they all seem to have a similar consistency, and flavor - each one kind of tastes like the others. Overall, I think they're a good value for the price, but I really don't see myself ordering these again.

Perfect , good tasting , just enough for a small meal

This product definitely should not be on the same shelf as edible food. I'm surprised that Amazon would consider selling it for human consumption. Shame on you Amazon. Shame on you for taking my money for this crap. This product isn't even good for the compost pile. It's easy to prepare. Peel back one corner to vent. Pop it into the microwave for 90 seconds (and believe me that this does not improve the taste at all). The picture on the carton is deceiving. It's false advertising as far as I'm concerned. The actual picture of product should be a photo of a steamy pile of dog doo doo. After taking the first bite, my tongue burned from the over abundance of sodium. As I began to attempt to chew the substance (roast beef is what the creator calls it) it quickly filled my mouth with the sensation of the driest saw dust possible. Needless to say I did not swallow it. This has got to be the worst product on the planet. I disposed of the "roast beef" and tried to salvage part of the meal. The "mashed potatoes & gravy" .......how in the hell can anyone screw up mashed potatoes and gravy? Hormel figured it out. This is the nastiest product I've ever allowed to touch my lips. This crap is worse than the grubs and worms I consumed in survival training.

Good variety, ease of preparation, tastey.

Should read " DOG FOOD . " Swanson or completion in the food industry are much better . They have a nice taste cheaper , just much better. At price paid " sad thing to call human food. " Don't lie but this or any dinner is Stinky.

I LOVE THIS MEAL IN A BOWL-I HAVE TO COOK IT FOR 2 MIN INSTEAD OF 1 MIN-I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DINNER-IT'S THE RIGHT PORTION TAKES NO TIME TO COOK A WHOLE DELICIOUS MEAL. TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT-SO MANY DIFFERENT MEALS IN ONE AWESOME BOWL.

These tasted good but were not filling at all, that is why I only gave it a 4 star.

Good taste but too expensive for portion size

The meat was off, I enjoyed the chicken alfrado. Odd.
