When I bought the Fried Chicken Bowl from Albertsons, I also bought this too:
After sitting in the freezer for a few weeks, I finally microwaved it and ate it for lunch yesterday. The taste was surprisingly decent. I grew up liking the canned Dinty Moore beef stew, even though it was probably unhealthy to eat. The cooking/heating instructions worked well and there was enough for a small lunch. However, once again, the marketing and packaging photos lie. Here is a photo from the website:
First, the bowl was really shallow. There is probably less than 1/3 of the food amount implied by the photo above. Secondly, I could count 7-8 pieces of beef. That makes sense since this was a “beef” bowl. Imagine my disappointment when in real life, there was only two pieces of beef. Everything else that looked like meat was actually a piece of potato. Again, the taste was fine, but I did not know I was buying a vegetable stew.
It is even worse if you look at the back of the box. You cannot say “meat matters” when there is barely any meat in your beef stew. Shame!
Having said that, I would buy again if the entrée was on sale. I am too lazy to make a table for nutritional information today; it is available online. Basically it has too much salt, but the rest is fine.
