Frozen Friday: Hormel - Beef Roast Au Jus

Hormel's Beef Roast Au Jus is a simple, microwaveable dinner solution of a seasoned beef roast with juices. You just add a side or two and you're good to go.

A 15-ounce package costs about $6.99.

The beef came in several pieces in a vacuum-sealed bag. It's easy enough to cook: you just set the microwave and wait. Be careful cutting it open after though as there's quite a bit of steam and you don't want to get burned.

This turned out a whole lot better than I expected. I was a little apprehensive after my sub-par experience with Hormel's Chicken Breast & Gravy Compleats, so expectations were decidedly low.

Still, the beef turned out pretty well! It was somewhat tender, beefy, and just slightly seasoned. The aus jus added  a salty and slightly tangy flavor. It tastes like a decently braised piece of meat.

I had it with some homemade mashed potatoes and ate happily. I probably should have steamed some vegetables to throw in, but oh well.
