Pretty good, just one beef

I like this, the only problem I have with it is that the straps are too long that aren't the neck strap portion. If the parts that stayed on the camera were shorter you could have less slack and crap in the way when you took off the neck portion. I may take a pair of scissors and work on it myself.... Other than that its great, very comfortable.

I really can't say a lot more than Randy did; but I'll up his rating by a star.  This is because Swedish Meatballs with Pasta in Cream Sauce is the variety among those I've tried that rivals the meatloaf for flavor (which itself is shocking).

Yeah, the meatballs are fairly tasty.  The noodles are "past al dente;" but not too bad.  What puts it over for me is a pretty good cream sauce with a polite bite of sourness (you can think a bit of Stoganoff).  The salt?  Well, I guess that's something these mass-audience prepared foods will always have.  They think salt sells.

Very good, and rather different from all other us beef jerkys. You can taste the different flavors that are described in the ingredients.  Very good though, but will cause stomach aches if yu eat half the bad in one sitting.

The Beef Bone Broth is good!!  I had previously ordered the Savory Chicken and loved it so I thought I would try the beef.  Love the taste and I like the individual packets.

I love a good spicy kick in foods, and needless to say this didn't disappoint in giving the ol' kick, however since this is regarded as the spiciest pepper in the world I was a little dissapointed that I didn't end up going to the hospital after eating it. Most spicy stuff just tastes good to me with a slight tingle, tobasco for example is just barely spicy and is about a 2 on a 1-10 scale. This stuff is about an 8 or 9, and while it didn't make me call 911 it put me in a scorched coma for a bit.

First bite was a cautious little nibble, a slight tingle but nothing much. After awhile of nothing I ripped off about half of it and ate it, and while it numbed my mouth a bit once it hit my stomach, well... now I know how Mr. Orange felt throughout Reservoir Dogs. It just sat in my stomach in the same place burning like a damn minituare sun, burning away. So the peppers certainly work well for 'dares' or whatever circumstance it is where you're only eating the pepper.

Mixing them with foods is a different story, the peppers have a great dried delicious quality, and they look just like the picture so you can imagine the texture. The heat is great too since it doesn't overwhelm the other flavors, it's rather subtle like an infernal landmine waiting to go off in your mouth. If you like spicy foods it's a great addition to your kitchen, and if you want to prank someone or go on a dare or whatever, these peppers work for that too.

Got this for the fiber and protein content. It's is a bit salty, but rarely are beans not salty...it's their nature. Using too little salt and beans don't cook properly, or so I've read.

Only complaint I'd have is that the cup is less than half full when water added and heated. I was hungry and half a cup didn't quite sate my need. Next time I think I'll add a bit more water than asked for, and make it a bit more like soup.

Nice to be able to get a dozen of these at a decent price...always handy for a quick, albeit light, lunch or snack.

Cal: 180 (tolerable)
Fat: 2 gm (ditto)
Chol: 0 (!)
Sodium: 550 gm (a bit on the high side for so small a portion, but...)
Fiber: 9 gm
Prot: 10 gm

Oh, and NOT peppery. Too many concoctions like this with beans add chili which kills my stomach. This has a nice, taste of adequately seasoned beans!

Would buy again, but right now have a plentiful supply with a good date, well into the middle of next year.

The packaging in the picture is not exactly the actual size of the beef bar.  But all in all it's pretty tasty and pretty filling.  I'll definitely continue to buy them.

66 pages of simple and easy to use marinades for steak.  All of the marinades can be made by the novice cook, and the how to's are well defined.

It would be useful if the author added a section by cut of meat, for example:
For Flank steak use marinades-1,5,9,13,20
For T-Bone/Porterhouse use marinades-2,6,8,15,40

And then by flavor profile:
Asian Marinades: 6,8.10
Mediterranean Marinades: 7, 11,
Caribbean Flavors:11,17,23,24,25

Overall very well done, I question if a book this short (66 pages) will interest chefs and cooks enough to pay anything more than a couple of bucks.  It seems like a pamphlet that the American Beef Producer's would publish in order to stimulate steak sales.

Well, it's easy to make and I like that it's not quite as "fake" feeling as the big brand stuff, but it's nothing to write home about.  I think the flavor is slightly bland.  Last time I made it I added cumin and chili powder to the cheese powder when I was mixing the sauce and that helped a lot (didn't want to add more salt, since it had enough sodium as it was).  It's boxed mac and cheese, so I don't have super high expectations, but I think it's good quality for what it is.  I'd probably buy it again once I use up the last box.

Our Cats like this one because, it has to be the shred, and the gravy plus beef mixed in their rotation of meats. I came back to reorder a case and not available right now, so give a 4 star. Hope it becomes available. Other sellers were selling it and over double the price. That defeats the reason to order online if you can't save money. May as well get the cats steak then.

The taste is quite good - think a light teriyaki.  It rehydrates relatively easily, though I suggest cutting the water back by about 1/4 cup or so, and let it sit for an extra 10 minutes.

Thing to know though...you don't get big chunks of chicken in here.  In fact, it's almost like ground chicken.  There are small finely diced pieces combined with the pineapple and other stuff.  It's there, and you can taste it...but you can't really see it.

The portion size is healthy - it's not one of those kinds of things where they have two miniscule portions and call it two servings.  You can feed two adults out of this pouch.

Overall, quite good.  I wish the chicken were a bit more in evidence, but it still works as a product.

First, the details - the nutrition facts are simple.  Each serving (2 teaspoons which makes 1 cup) has 15 calories, 480mg of sodium (20% of your daily value), 310mg of potassium (9%), and 2g of total carbohyrdrates (1%).  The ingredients include beef stock, then Maltodextrin (an additive usually made from rice, corn, or potatoes), and sea salt.

I have been using Knorr beef bullion cubes and I think this product has a much better beef flavor which may be because the Knorr cubes don't include beef stock.  This is certainly easier to use than cubes because it's already a liquid.  However, this product has a life of six months after you open.  One bottle will make 28 cups of beef broth which is 7 quarts. I doubt that we'll use that much beef broth over six months so I'll probably be tossing some of this in the trash but I'm OK with that because of the convenience and the taste.

I have been slowly going vegetarian (and on my way to being vegan).  I wanted to explore new snacks, so I decided to try vegan jerky.  These strips have been ... okay.  Some erring on the side of good, some erring on the side of not good but still palatable.  The texture is, well, overcooked seitan texture - rubbery chewy.  I had read beforehand that they come out a little bit - for lack of a better word - gooey, and that's pretty accurate.  Some of the sauces taste great (mesquite lime, I'm looking at you), and would be outstanding if I could get them bottled.  A few of the packages I've tried taste like they were left out in the sun in the packaging (which is probably accurate).  My biggest problem with them is that they leave this odd film on your mouth when you're finished, like you just ate cheap chocolate - a thin, waxy patina that takes forever to get out.  I don't think I'll be purchasing them again.

I like solo's, and my dogs do too. Some people seem concerned as to whether there is enough protein. I do supplement this with various meats every now and then. My dogs seem to do very well on it.

Stouffer's Signature Classics Macaroni & Beef, 12 7/8 oz. (365g).
This frozen meal contains 970mg of salt, about the same as two hotdogs, which are pretty salty to begin with.  This meal will leave you with a salty aftertaste and is not as good as it could be.  I remember the lunchroom meals of macaroni and beef (American Chop Suey) from grade school and high school, something I looked forward to.  This meal is edible, but nothing to look forward to. The extra salt content will cause you to retain fluids, at least until the extra salt leaves your system. If you like extra salt, you can always add your own, but you can't remove it once it is there. For anyone with high blood pressure and on a low salt diet, this is one meal to stay away from. Processed foods in general contain far too much sugar and salt, which is not good for our individual health. The label Nutrition Facts and INGREDIENTS information is as follows:

10/25/13 update: I received this email from Stouffer's (Nestle Frozen Food) concerning their stuffed peppers and other frozen foods as well: "To give you an example of our sodium reduction efforts, since 2005, we've decreased sodium levels of our 20 oz. and 12 oz. packages from 920 mg per serving to 820 mg per serving (from 40 Percent Daily Value (% DV) to 35% DV). We will continue to take sodium out of products moving forward. Recently, we announced a plan to decrease the sodium content across our brands by another 10% by the year 2015. This initiative includes gradual but steady recipe changes in order to bring down sodium levels without impacting taste." All of which begs the question: Why doesn't Stouffer's take the lead and get off the heavy salt bandwagon altogether?
Why wait until 2015? This is too little, and too late for those people with high blood pressure currently on low sodium diets. Stouffer's still has a long ways to go in terms of reducing sodium levels in its frozen foods.

Not the most note worthy beef sticks out there.  Not good, but not bad.  No need to comment on their nutritional value.  Anyone valuing their health would steer clear.  Heck, its a Beef Stick - the're suppose to be weird.  My dog, wouldn't eat them....maybe he knows something I don't.  As Neil Young stated "It's better to burn out than to fade away" - These beef sticks are a good start in that direction.  Yum!

my dog enjoys the beef however it's disappointing that only the chicken flavor are offered in a 3 pack set and not the beef
