HORMEL COMPLEATS Roast Beef & Mashed Potatoes, Microwaveable, 9oz x6

These are really good. Convenient. Tasty. Quick meal idea.

I ordered roast beef with gravy and mashed potatoes. I got Meatloaf and gravy with mashed potatoes. It's a high quality, good tasting convenience food that meets my needs, so I am not going to return it. I do want to point out that there are a lot of similar products in this product line, so its easy to get the wrong thing. The ingredients are not the same, so people with allergies or intolerances to specific foods should take notice of the risk. This has a long shelf life, which is great, but black pepper becomes increasingly potent as you store it, so I would recommend to the manufacturer that they DECREASE the black pepper in their products.

The meat is a little on the tough side but still good and great for the price and how fast you can make it and store on the pantry self.

What they call roast beef is actually a slab of ground meat. I really hate when they do that. If it is ground meat then they should say so. Their Beef Pot Roast is actually a small slice of beef. Of course, if you don't mind eating unknown ground meat, then you may like this. The potatoes taste good. Apparently they will not let me review the Salisbury Steak since I've already reviewed The Roast Beef. Anyway the Salisbury steak is very dry and tasteless. The potatoes were the best part.

I purchased these for a local food bank that only hands out non-perishable items. Because of this, most families don't have access to meats. Having struggled with a bit of financially-caused hunger myself, I can honestly say that meals like this are always greatly appreciated by food-bank recipients. This wholesome little microwavable meal may not be the healthiest or most appetizing meal in the world, but it certainly beats a night without a meal for many families. Each package of any Hormel Compleats meal is very filling. The serving size is large, large enough to fill even the hungriest of bellies. This specific meal, the Roast Beef & Mashed Potatoes has a few large delicious chunks of roast beef meat atop of smooth mashed potatoes, topped with brown gravy. The meat is very moist and the texture is exactly what you would expect of canned meat. It's not over-processed or strewn with any weird additives. It tastes like it should. The mashed potatoes are smooth and flavorful. They're sometimes a bit difficult to get evenly cooked in the microwave, so I suggest stirring every 20 seconds. It's always helped me get the mashed potatoes evenly heated. The gravy is really good as well. Not to heavy or watery. Just perfect. These meals are great for a variety of things. Obviously I donated them to a food bank- where they can be handed out as wholesome meat and veggies meal for families in need. But I also eat these myself, and they are a great quick meal on nights when you find yourself too exhausted to cook dinner. They'd also be great as emergency meals, because they don't need to be stored in a refrigerator. And they'd be great for camping, because they can easily and conveniently be carried in a backpack or stored in a tent. When it comes to canned, shelf-life meals, this is definitely one of the only foods I find appetizing. It's obviously not on par with any freshly cooked meal out there, but because of it's convenience and affordability I think it's rightfully earned its 5 stars from me.

The products are truly the worst I have ever received. PLEASE REFUND the $61 which I paid for several of these items! I would not buy these for a dog. Even the heating directions are totally absurd. They are the worst product I have ever gotten from Amazon. I would like to speak to Amazon!!! Thank you!!!

I love these! They taste amazing. The only one I didn't like so far was the spaghetti one (it was too tart for my taste). I like the chicken breast and mashed potatoes and the roast beef and mashed potatoes the best. They are perfect little portions and sooo quick and easy to make. Peel back the corner, microwave 60 seconds and ready to eat! Even quicker than soup or tv dinner. You can store them anywhere, no refrigeration needed-awesome! The last 18 months, I am going to stock up!
