Hormel Beef Tamales, 15 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Consistent flavor. Have enjoyed for years. Eat cold out of can or heated in pot.

I've always loved these since I was a child and Mom used to make them for us in a pinch. Mom says her Mom made them for her and her Dad back in the 40's and 50's and she loved them back then also! She says her Mom used to heat them in the sealed can in boiling water before opening them to serve. I heat them in the microwave in 3 minutes. They didn't have microwaves back then! Great taste that amazingly I don't get burned-out on. I bought two cases of 12 cans each and eat about one can/week and I always enjoy them. Can't beat the price. I want to have plenty of these available when society collapses and there is no more food available. LOL!

I mentioned this purchase to my housekeeper and her comment was! "I don't like canned tamales" !!Of course, she makes tamales at home for Christmas and they are FAR superior to ANYTHING you can get in a can!I have to agree with her, but when home made tamales are not available, these canned ones will have to do!They are as good as you can expect for "mass produced tamales!!ACF

Hawaii doesn't have a lot of places to get good Tamales 🫔 I am reverting back to the good old days of the can tamales. I Love Hormel . Much better than poorly made tamales !!!

I'm pretty happy with the minimal ingredients in this age old quick food. These things are so delicious that it's very difficult to only eat them like once a week!

As a standalone meal item, these are a culinary abomination. They're wrapped in paper and are small, and seemed very glutinous. However, if you combine these with Hormel chili, as an additive to give us some thickening, these were great. What I do is put a can of these, peel off the paper wrapping, chop them a bit, and add them to a can of chili. It's a good filler.

Good

Very good
