Old thread, I know. But yesterday, while I was in my AF Commissary picking up a few MREs (got a #24 Southwest Beef and a chicken and noodle TOTM, both packed late 2013. Yum!) I noticed a supply of these Hormel Completes meals. Hadn't ever noticed them before, so I picked up four of them at the bargain price of $1.59 each. Two beef and two chicken. They didn't have any breakfast ones.
Had the chicken and dumplings one when I got home. Per directions, I buzzed it for one minute in the portable nuke oven. I added a bit of pepper, no salt. It had lots of diced chicken pieces and dumplings about an inch square, in a light chicken gravy. It was quite tasty, although a bit blander than I would have liked. As to amount, I was still just a bit hungry when I'd finished it, so I had some fruit and cottage cheese. Perfect. I didn't think about taking pictures until I'd already finished it. Sorry.
I look forward to having the beef stew, beef and potatoes, and chicken with potatoes versions. As a very inexpensive, shelf-stable entree, these are quite impressive.
