DINTY MOORE Beef Stew, Shelf-Stable, 12 grams Protein, 9 oz Plastic Microwaveable Tray

I have loved this little meal since I found it when it cost under a dollar! Today, it is still worth the over two bucks it costs. The vegetables are tender and tasty, and the stew meat is so soft and easy to chew. There are also an array of other delicious dinners I buy from this brand. I used to take them to work every day for years. This one tastes so good that I just heat it in the microwave for 60 seconds, and it is unbelievably ready to eat.

Love this beef stew. Plenty of big chunks of beef, potatoes %26 veggies in it. Very flavorful sauce too. Love the shelf stability not having to refrigerate to store it. And in that it is a very, very quick meal to prepare- 1 minute on high in the microwave. Love the ease of preparation and eating right out of the packaging/container. Such easy cleanup. No pots/pans, etc. Great consistent quality all the time. Love that I can buy it in a small bulk pack also.

The Dinty Moore Shelf Stable Beef Stew is a microwaveable meal ideal for moments when you don't have time to prepare a full meal or simply want something light and filling in a hurry and they only take 1 minute to heat. These meals don't need to be refrigerated as they stack and store easily on your pantry shelf and dont need much space to do so. Dinty Moore shelf stable meals also come in a variety of flavors and the price of these meals won't break your purse strings. I keep several at hand for those moments when i need something quick and filling. Dinty Moore is a trusted household brand name. I've shared them with loved ones and would definitely recommend them to friends as well.

The flavor is there and I love the taste but after numerous times of eating it I've been disappointed in having maybe 2 or 3 pieces of carrots. I'm use to having about equal parts potatoes and carrots not mostly potatoes. But I guess if you don't care for the carrots you'll like it even better than I do.

Gravy is too salty. 1130mg is way too high for a single serving. Alas, all premade stews are overly high in salt, but this one has the highest. Other ingredients are good. Bought one as an experiment. Because of the high salt, I'll go back to making my own stew in a pressure cooker.

The balance between gravy and other ingredients is spot-on. The flavor is savory. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were only two slices of carrot in the serving but many pieces of potato. An excellent beef stew has more vegetables in a greater variety. However, it served its purpose as a quick and easy supplement to a disappointing nursing home dinner.

When I opened the package, there was an extremely strong chemical smell. I put it in the microwave just like the instructions said I took it out of the microwave and opened it and all I could smell was a chemical smell. I couldn't even smell the beef stew. Yeah that was disgusting.

Look at the picture and you decide.

Nasty and way too greasy ! Won't buy again, other brand “hormel” is way better, not greasy and taste better

Dinty Moore stop playin man this dented on the bottom package is not 9oz man it's 4.5oz at best. The price does not match the portion size. And what is with all these fake packaging tricks? Look (0_0) make the containers flat. No dents, dips, hidden ways to short the customers of ounces sneaky style. All your doing is pissin us off and we will stop buying your product all together. We'll see how your stock survives that one. In short: Be honest!! “A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.” – Proverbs 11:1
