HORMEL COMPLEATS 7.5 oz Variety Pack (Pack of 5)

These are shelf stable foods so will not taste homemade. If you don't mind a lot of salt you can't get much easier to cook. Just throw them in the microwave for the time at the top of the container, pull them out and chow down. I wouldn't eat these everyday, or at all if you have hypertension or are on a heart healthy diet. If you don't have the health concerns I would say you can use these as perhaps a new baby gift so that when Mama and Daddy run out of meal train meals they have something easy they can fix themselves. Bonus, these are very calorie-dense, so they're good for breastfeeding moms! They are also individual so people don't have to eat dinner at the same time, or like I said a good middle of the night snack if Mom is breastfeeding.

Delicious, fast and tasty.

Taste good..easy to prepare....

Good. No issues. As expected (have had them before). These are not culinary feasts. It is simple, convenient food. They're not great, but they work as emergency food, for super quick meals, to stock the pantry in these questionable times. If you're picky, then its best to try one before loading up. If you have a huge appetite, then plan to eat more than one, or plan to stretch your meal with other food items. This can provide the "variety" aspect to rice and beans, if you know what I mean.Easy to find in stores, so you likely know what the typical cost per tray is. I was able to buy these on sale, which made it a better deal than what can be found in store. I don't buy these often as it doesn't entirely suit my taste, but they are convenient, shelf stable, and can be eaten hot or cold in a pinch. Basically I buy it for adding to my pantry for emergency use options. Or I am simply hungry and dont want to cook anything. I have some family members who love this stuff. So it comes down to own personal preference. Also nice way to stock the pantry as food prices and such climb. I figure add a variety and I can always add to it (more rice, more noodle, more vegetables, etc).Not huge portions by any means. But I imagine works well for those with light appetites (seniors, maybe those that are ill, or simply those with naturally tiny appetites)Main thing to know is that it arrived in a branded box, well sealed, each tray and package were intact, each having a far off "best by" date (purchased Nov 2022, with dates into 2023 and 2024). But that doesnt matter to me as that is simply a guaranteed freshness date and not a safety date. Still nice to know that these have dates well into the future. Glad to have them in my pantry.

Portion size is perfect for me as I’m trying to loose weight. Very tasty and quick to serve!
