HORMEL COMPLEATS Meatloaf & Gravy With Mashed Potatoes Microwave Tray, 9 oz. (6 Pack)

Delicious shelf stable meal
This is amazingly delicious! I had 12 little meatballs in my dish and they were so good I would have been proud to claim them as my own homemade! The sauce is tasty, the pasta spirals are plenty and I let mine sit on the counter longer than I intended to, so my pasta was somewhat ‘sauce logged’ but it was my fault. It was still delicious. And quick! Microwave for 1 minute and let it sit for a minute. Also, it isn’t just a snack size serving, although it looks small, it is very filling! I like to keep things like this around that are shelf stable and not take up room in the freezer or refrigerator. Sometimes you just don’t have time to fix a meal but you don’t just want a sandwich. I highly recommend this meal!!! Visually appealing, easy to fix, smooth consistency, lower calorie so I’m going to say it leans towards the healthy side, and definitely worth the money! Now I know those gears are working in your head….go ahead….drop everything and go get you some of these! It’s worth it and you will thank yourself later! As for me, you can just thank me now!

Not a fan of flavor
Meal is okay, just not fond of flavor.

Meat Slightly Dry, Potatoes Not Creamy enough, and Meat too Spicy
The meat was pretty good but was way too spicy. The potatoes were not creamy enough. If I could make a recommendation Hormel, I would include roasted potatoes and carrots with your meatloaf meal. Nevertheless, the meal is tasty, filling, and nourishing, and perfect for buying in bulk. It is excellent for a ready to eat meal option that doesn’t need to be refrigerated. If you buy these in bulk and control how much you eat, I promise you, you most likely will eat like a king for weeks if not months. This is also great in these hard times to avoid the hassle of going to the grocery store. And buying these in bulk is a lot cheaper as well! These are full protein meals with a side and is a great way to start any night. Perfect for work, school, camping, hotels, and so much more!I am Jewish, but I can’t afford kosher meat and have no access to kosher meat. As the saying goes, the body is a temple. I personally don’t believe it would be treating my body as a temple if I don’t eat any meat. Mental illness has been directly associated with people who don’t eat meat. So, as a Jew without a lot of money, I am choosing to get these meals. And I am very satisfied! For The Sabbath, it is a great way to start Friday Night and have a complete meal, given that I am in a lonely, stressful situation. If you are Jewish and can afford to keep kosher, you should and you shouldn’t get this, but if you are a Jew like me with a very little amount of money, or anyone who is limited with money, and you want easy, ready to eat meals that are nourishing and that you can SURVIVE off of, these meals are perfect and will fill you and make you happy. If you have barely any money and are stressed, try these meals! You won’t be disappointed and will be happy you did. A great way to change the mood of the night and to nourish your soul.Thank you Hormel for these nourishing meals that I can stock up on, and thank you Amazon for selling these complete meals on your site.Peace and blessings to all.

This Meatloaf just isn’t !
Okay, all else aside and with no filters on my thoughts, this particular Hormel meal is just one I will forever avoid.To be fully honest as well, I ordered two boxes of this flavor as well as six others and set them aside in our hurricane locker simply to have meals ready that are easy to prepare and don’t require refrigerationWe all know up front that these aren’t advertised as gourmet dishes so with that being said they’re advantage is that they have a decent shelf life and don’t take up that much room and are quick and easy to prepare and if need be can even be eating cold.I’ve tried many of their products over the years and to date I’ve never had one, until now, that I would simply rather go without a meal than to have to eat it.Now enter their meatloaf I’m with that I can honestly say that I will set these all the way in the back as I ordered a total of 14, and they would and or will be the last ones standing and I promise that I will do all I can to gift them away to others that don’t have any provisions in their hurricane locker.Please make it be alive but I’d much rather someone else benefit from any nutritional value this particular meal May have.I honestly can’t remember the last time I had one of their meatloaf dishes but I do not remember them being like this in that it tasted like a compressed slab of meat product that I honestly don’t believe my dog would have eaten and are chosen over top of the canned food that we currently give him. And I thought was quickly put to the test and neither the cat nor the dog chose to eat the meatloaf from this package and opted instead to eat their canned wet food prior to and then just casually sniffed at it and licked I meatloaf well continuously giving us that why did you do this to me look on their face before walking away and leaving it in their dishNo, had to put this out and this out only then maybe it would have been a different story and they would have eaten it but I honestly didn’t think that would have been fair to either of them.The other meals that Hormel have available are, simply put, best student or hiking and camping trips as well as filling avoid and your stomach quickly without any preparation and virtually no cleanup. For this purpose they are ideally suited and are comparable and taste and flavor to many of the MREs you’ll find for sale these days.All in all the Hormel products are suitable for any of the above specified needs and uses, however this is the one meal package that I will never purchase again and cannot in good conscious recommend anyone else purchase either
