Tasted fermented, like the Merlot made the meal expire faster. I bit into a carrot and immediately through in the trash.

The sauce tastes like banana Laffy Taffy...??
It's honestly fine. It's pretty good, the veggies are nice and crispy, and there are good chunks of meat. But I don't really like the sauce. I've bought this multiple times trying to see if it was weird tastebuds or maybe a bad batch, but nope. The sauce has an aftertaste of artificial banana, which is really jarring. When the other steamers sell out at my store, I'll take one of these, but I'm not super thrilled about it.

7 out of 10 meal
The Healthy Choice Beef Merlot meal is a convenient and portion-friendly option for busy days. The beef is tender and the veggies are fresh, but the flavor can be a little bland compared to a home-cooked meal. Still, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something quick, low-calorie, and balanced without feeling too heavy.

Rough on Teeth
My wife and I are NOT happy with our last two Beef Merlot. My Beef was very chewy and the other one was so tough, the more you chewed on it, the bigger it got. The carrots were crunchy along with the green beans. the ONLY thing eatable in both of the dinners was the potatoes. VERY VERY disappointed. 4238 5167 20 04 14:55 EST 4L1 Best By Dec 08 2026

Was the merlot replaced by salt?
I've bought this meal for years. Recently, I bought it again and couldn't believe how bad it was. I couldn't taste any merlot, just salt, in a thin sauce. I don't know why companies have to mess around with tried and true recipes. I will not buy this again.

Please leave the green bean size as before
Please leave the green beans the larger size. The current meal that I am eating has the green beans cut extremely small making them harder to pierce with the fork. The taste of the meal is delicious.

Not up to expectations
Used to be my to go dinner but this last one was a disappointment.Meat inedible, all gristle. The green beans are too al dente. Why not use peas ad pearl onions instead. . Carrots and potatoes good.

I have some Real Beef with Healthy Choice
I am thankful to be able to afford a luxury of buying ready made meals to save on time but I do expect a bit more for my hard earned money. I bought the Beef Merlot and I'm still searching for more beef pieces. I had 4 cubes. This dinner should be renamed Vegetable beef Medley

NOT A GOOD VALUE..
The meal tastes good. For the food you get not worth the money. Very little product. What is charged more food should be there. In this economy every penny counts.

Ok overall but…
I bought as a quick meal for my husband. He said it was good overall & flavor was good but would have been better if beef was a better quality

What a Joke!
Please explain how this item could contain even close to the 13 g of protein it says it contains??? There are FOUR pieces of beef weighing .7 ounces (less than one ounce!). Yes, I removed them from the bowl and weighed them and that's barely 5 grams and your packaging claims 13 grams. What a joke. While the flavor was decent and I was in a pinch, I won't be buying this again.

Stringy green beans
The flavor is good, the meat is tender. The green beans are the "string" type, but nobody pulled the strings before adding them to this dinner! With all the "stringless" green beans on the market today, why are you using these nasty stringy beans??? Please educate yourselves on green beans & stop using stringy beans!!!
