The beef is tender, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the gravy? Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Dinty Moore has absolutely nailed the balance of flavors, making this stew taste like it’s been simmering for hours when, in reality, it’s ready in just a minute. This is comfort food at its finest!Tender Beef and Veggies in Every BiteThe beef in this stew is no joke. I was pleasantly surprised by how tender and juicy it was. Sometimes, with these pre-packaged meals, you get chewy or tough meat, but not here. Each piece is cooked to perfection, practically melting in your mouth. And the vegetables—carrots and potatoes—are soft but not mushy, retaining enough texture to complement the stew’s hearty gravy. Every spoonful is balanced and satisfying.Portion Perfect for Any MealAt 9 ounces per pack, the portion size is just right. It’s filling enough to serve as a standalone meal, but it also pairs beautifully with a slice of bread or a small salad if you’re looking to round out your plate. Whether you’re ravenous after a long day or just need a quick pick-me-up, this stew hits the spot without leaving you uncomfortably full. And with a pack of three, you’ve got multiple meals covered!Fast, Convenient, and Ready in 60 SecondsThe real magic of the Dinty Moore Compleats Beef Stew lies in its convenience. Busy day? No problem. Just pop the tray in the microwave for a minute, and you’ve got a hot, hearty meal ready to go. There’s no need for refrigeration, which makes it perfect for storing in your desk at work, in your pantry for emergencies, or even for taking on outdoor adventures like camping or hiking. The portability factor is a huge win for anyone with a busy or unpredictable schedule.Affordable Comfort at Your FingertipsIn terms of value, Dinty Moore knocks it out of the park. You’re getting three solid meals in this pack for a price that won’t break the bank. It’s an ideal option for students, busy professionals, or anyone who wants a comforting meal without spending a fortune.

It's a great option for those days when you just don’t want to deal with cooking or cleaning up a big mess.Conclusion: A Must-Have for Quick ComfortIf you’re looking for a fast, filling, and delicious meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor for convenience, the Dinty Moore Compleats Beef Stew is a no-brainer.

Great lunch item: hearty, quick, familiar. Super easy; just heat in the microwave.

I just tried the Dinty Moore beef stew for the first time. While the stew is very flavorful, & contains a fair amount of beef cubes, I knocked off one star because the stew was a bit more like soup, than stew..... or at least, it's more watery than any stew I ever made. I like the gravy to be thick, & clinging to every veggie, & piece of meat. The only vegetables I could recognize in this stew was carrots, & potatoes. I'd have liked to see onion included. Still, it's a "warm your tummy" good, filling, & quick lunch-time meal,... taking only 1 minute in the microwave oven to prepare.And you don't even need to mess up a dish, as the stew comes in its own bowl, but careful, your could burn your fingers as you remove the dish from the microwave. I use a clean, but used bowl from previous portions of Hormel chicken alfredo, (mmmm, my favorite!) to slip under the just-heated bowl, & it's perfect for handling your freshly cooked stew without getting burned.It seems that Dinty Moore, & Hormel are both from the same parent company, & use the same packaging.

This is the best one so far, decent amount of a thick flavorful gravy with plenty of carrots and potatoes and actual pieces of real meat. A bit of fresh ground pepper is always good, and I like that this isn't salty either. Pair it up with your favorite bread, maybe a salad and you should feel like you had enough to eat. A word of warning regarding the containers for these meals - use a better microwavable container that has a vented lid because even if I cooked it in 30 sec intervals I think the concave bottom just builds up pressure until the whole dish basically explodes and it will do it more than once even after the microwave has stopped heating. No matter how well you vent it this will happen, potatoes have a role to play? I don't know just not willing to have to clean off enough of this meal from the roof and sides of the oven before I can eat it. Not willing to give up on the meal either, I like this one, used a paper bowl this time with a single half paper towel over it but will use another dish next time and will update. Another reviewer had the same thing happen to them and adjusting the power just uses same level of heat just cycles it on/off more or less times depending on choice. I think dish is to blame.

If you can’t cook it suffices in a pinch.

I love this beef stew. As a single person this is the perfect size serving and so good too! Plus, what a deal this is coming with three servings and it comes to you door! Give it a try, good old fashion taste.

No problems with this food as a close-to-home food thats a minute in microwave and almost diet and diabetic friendly at 300 calories. Price and variety is good. The meat and potatos fills you up. Like this product. Cheaper than mcdonalds. A little salty and maybe inorganic though.

I got these to try, microwaved one minute and it heated up perfect. Definitely is pretty salty, one package is a 9 ounce portion so it’s not big. But the taste was OK and I would recommend it for a quick meal, or a quick snack. i’d probably will buy it again, cause like I said it’s nice and quick. That’s what I like most about it.👍👍
