HORMEL COMPLEATS Beefy Mac & Cheese Microwave Tray, 7.5 Ounces (Pack of 7)

I forgot how good this chili is, I hadn't had it in a long time. It's really delicious, nice spices and there is actually meat in it! And of course it's a Compleat, which means it only takes 1 minute in the microwave to be ready and not fuss over a long cooking meal after a hard day at work.

These easy to eat delicious beef Macs and cheese is ready in one minute

As stated, this is sweet tasting and not like expected. Serve with rice to minimize that characteristic. Filling. Value as a meal replacement present. Calorie content reasonable.

Great chili i buy it all the time.

The Beefy Mac and the Spaghetti are the best options from Hormel. The spaghetti is fast. Add a little 4C and it is like you cooked for an hour. The Beefy Mac has changed somewhat, but it’s still pretty good (just not as great anymore). It used to be the best one. The stew is middle tier. It is definitely not the same stew it once was… same with the pot roast. The turkey used to be a lot better. A LOT better. What happened? The tender beef left a lot to be desired. It didn’t feel like a quality meal, but my hopes were high.

To start with I didn't like that the expire date is 9 months away, that could just be me and my proclivity. Next is this is sweet and I don't recall eating any chili beans that were sweet ever. I give Hormel points for using some red kidney beans and not just all pinto beans like every other chili on the market does. I just couldn't get past the flavor, not that it was off, just like the sauce part was meant for more than just this chili like it was a base sauce and either the final mix to make it the chili sauce was not correct or I just don't like it. It kept reminding me of something else, maybe a gravy for some type of beef dish. Also, where's the chili in this chili? Just none, not even mildly so. I'd urge Hormel to keep trying though, some chili powder, not so sweet, more kidney beans. I do like this whole microwave without the meal being a frozen meal plus storable idea and for what it's worth I did/do like the spaghetti which I'm eating instead of the chili right now. Out of salad mix and dressing though, it helps to eat these meals with something else on the side if possible, just to round it out, leave you feeling full.

I like it, way better than expected. I find it tasty and rather filling. I didnt need to add anything to it, but doctor it up if you want. I expected it to be bland, but I'm rather impressed how tasty it is and has a balanced flavor. I can taste the cheesy tomato sauce, and the beef is pretty good too. I think the sauce really sold me. Mmm. I dont love all the Hormel offerings, some I dont care for at all, but I have tried enough to have some favorites. Just try them out. I really like this, so it will be a repurchase. I dont eat stuff like this regularly, but it is wonderful to keep on hand for a quick light meal or snack. Definitely a good option for emergencies (easy to heat, or could eat without heating). I try to shop sales to gain the best value. My order definitely had 7 containers in it as expected.

First time I tried to eat a container of macaroni, I heated in my airfryer. The container melted. I opened another container and heater in a stainless steel pan. I didn't like the flavor and now the remaining containers of macaroni are being fed to the chickens
