My boyfriend is a supervisor for a large company and rarely gets more than 5 minutes to sit down for lunch. This has led me to look for products that were quick to heat up and eat. I had seen the commercial for Hormel Compleats and thought they would be perfect for him to take to work. Not only did they claim to be ready to eat in only 90 seconds, but there were so many flavors to choose from. I decided to grab one of the Hormel Compleats meals the last time we went to Walmart and see what he thought of them. This proved to be a very smart decision. Before you rush out and buy Hormel Compleats, read this article to find out why it may not be what you’re looking for.

Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes Review: Taste
My boyfriend chose the Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes meal. I have to admit the picture on the package did look appetizing, but that’s just good marketing. Unfortunately, this product wouldn’t be as appealing as the picture was. My boyfriend said the Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes meal was flavorless. The gravy, meat, and mashed potatoes all needed salt and pepper. He said by the time he got to the last few bites, which were just mashed potatoes, he didn’t even want to finish it.

My boyfriend said that the Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Mashed Potato meal was very low quality.

Hormel Compleats cost $1.98. That may not seem high until you see the size of the tiny package. I would much rather purchase microwavable soup for $1.25. Also, once you taste the product you will really think Hormel Compleats is overpriced.
Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes Review: Satisfaction Rating
I hate doing this to any product, but Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Mashed Potatoes gets 1 star. Yes it may be fast to heat up, but do you really want to eat food that is flavorless and low quality? There are several other foods to choose from that are not only quick, but taste delicious as well. There are also several Hormel products that taste really good; this just isn’t one of them.
