HORMEL COMPLEATS Beef Pot Roast, Shelf Stable 9 oz Plastic Tray

For singles who want something quick and filling, this has worked for me and I was surprised at the amount of flavor… like I cooked it myself. Maybe watch out if salt is an issue but most of these meals are a bargain and do not taste like flavored filler.

Here is what I think about this tasty meal! It's quick and easy — just microwave for about a minute, and you have a hot meal. It's shelf-stable — no need for refrigeration — convenient to keep in the pantry for quick lunches or dinners. Each tray provides a modest boost of protein (around 14–16 g per serving), making it more filling than snacks. ⚠️ Cons / What to know: The actual beef is underwhelming — it's sometimes “more stew-like” or heavy on gravy, potatoes, and carrots rather than big chunks of meat. Sodium seems a little high relative to meal size (some trays are nearly half the daily sodium — not ideal for low-salt diets). Portion size is small — it works for a light meal or quick fix, but not as a whole, hearty dinner. Walmart.com 🥣 Overall: If you're looking for a quick, shelf-stable, no-fuss meal to tide you over when you don't want to cook, Hormel Compleats Beef Pot Roast or Chicken Noodles does the job. It won't replace a home-cooked pot roast or hearty stew, but it's a convenient, budget-friendly option.
