Review of Beef Flavored Broth Powder - 1 lb., (Frontier)

I'm a caregiver for a vegetarian, and was asked to cook a few meals. Being a non-vegetarian, this was a challenge for me, so I searched the internet, found a few recipes and then came up with one of my own using this broth along with the 'beef' and 'chicken'. It was a big hit. It came fresh in the foil pouch, and the amount was great to transfer to canning jars.

Product Description
Contains salt. Kosher.

Review of Mr. Z Premium Cuts Beef Jerky Teriyaki Flavor, 1-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)

This jerky is a little better than the typical jerky you can be in the grocery store. The quality of the beef is better than the few I have tried in the store. There were a few pieces in the 4 oz bag that were difficult to deal with. This is not a dry jerky, in fact that bag says you must eat or freeze the contents within 3 days. It also contains "hydrolyzed soy protein" which is an ingredient that contains MSG in addition to containing straight monosodium glutamate. It also contains sodium nitrate, silicon dioxide, glycol propylene, and sodium erythorbate, which is stuff I don't want in my "premium beef jerky."

Product Description
Mr. Z's Premium Beef Jerky is the ultimate portable snack.Derived from Premium cuts of 100% Grass Fed Beef, with no added hormones or antibiotics, Mr. Z's is a healthy and delicious snack alternative.Packed with protein and low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, each bag of Mr. Z's Premium Beef Jerky is Energy to Go.These 80 calorie bags are perfect fit for today's 24/7 lifestyles.Our Original flavor is seasoned with a unique blend of spices, resulting in premium quality beef jerky that tastes great.

Review of Buffalo Bills 16oz Snafu Spicy Dead Meat Beef Jerky

While the Bufalo Bills "Snafu Spicy Dead Meat Beef jerky" name might not sound appetizing, the flavor is very good.

Packed in a resealable bag, the meat is very tender and there is just the right amount of "heat" in the spices. It is just a tad bit sweet which I liked, but my kids thought detracted a little (but they still ate most of the bag :-)

I am very pleased with the quality and flavor of the jerky! Recommended!

Product Description
One full pound of our Buffalo Bills Snafu Spicy Dead Meat Beef Jerky - it's a hickory smoked jerky that's kicked up a notch with cayenne pepper and red chile pepper. The heat level is medium - it's hot, but not overpowering. A great jerky for those who like a little heat with their meat! Unlike most of our competitors who sell those big bags of cheap imported beef jerky, each one pound resealable bag of our Buffalo Bills Dead Meat Beef Jerky is proudly made in the USA and made solely with US-raised beef. Our line of Dead Meat Beef Jerky is available in 3 military-themed flavors - Hooah Hickory, Snafu Spicy, and Troi Oi Teriyaki.

Review of Mrs. Grass Hearty Soup Mix, Homestyle Beef Vegetable Soup Mix, 7.48-Ounce Units (Pack of 8)

I'm not ashamed to admit that I love soup mixes.I know that making home made soup is easy, and even fun if you have the time.But nothing beats a mix that can be dumped into a pot with some browned beef, or any other optional ingredient you favor, and have it be ready and delicious in 20 minutes or less.Mrs. Grass is a very good mix compared to a lot of the ones more easily available in the stores.It taste a little more like home made to me.And believe me I haves tried all of them available in the stores.The only reason I refer to it as second best if because I also buy the Bear Creek veggie beef soup mix also available on Amazon, (link enclosed).I have to give the nod here to Bear Creek for just being a little spicier, and in my opinion having just a tad better beef broth.I still highly recommend Mrs. Grass for it is much better than the store bought mixes, and besides, you may like your soup a little on the lighter side.Still very tasty, and very worth it...

Review of Jack Link's Beef Steak, Sweet and Hot Flavor, 2-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

I usually buy the Sweet&Hot jerky strips at Walmart and love the taste. I decided to try the 2oz stick from Amazon and was disappointed for 3 reasons:

1. They came with expiration date only 48 days away. I've bought a couple of grocery items from amazon and this seems to be a common pattern. I've also read reviews complaining about the expiration issue on other Amazon grocery products. I love shopping from Amazon, but this reason alone may stop me from buying perishables from them again.

2. These sticks are not nearly as soft in texture as the strips. Maybe it's because it's almost reached its expiration date?

3. The flavor is not exactly the same as the strips. It tastes more or less the same as regular beef jerky. A bit of hot (as most jerkies are), but not much sweet. Again, is age a factor?

I've tried many brands and flavors, and Jack Link's Sweet&Hot is by far my favorite. Get it in strips.. and get it from you local grocer.

Slow cooked & seasoned.

Review of Buffalo Bills 1.2lb Extra Smokeys (20 cold smoked 4" beef sticks per bag)

After my first order of Extra Smokeys was lost in the mail by the post office, one of the owners, Paul, really took care of me and sent another package right away plus an extra $20 worth of free extra samples for my trouble.As for the product, I think it is really a flavor explosion.The smokey smell is obvious when you get too close to the bag, and the flavor is very powerful.There is just enough spice in there too but not too much.They are a little chewy, but that just makes you take smaller bites, which both lets you savor the flavor and makes each stick last longer.They are also very convenient to just grab one from the bag and eat it on the run or in the car.No mess and no wrappers left behind.Oh and after 28 days passed, the original missing package finally arrived, so now I have a new bag to start on!YES! Thanks Paul and Choo Choo R Snacks.This is some SERIOUS BEEF JERKY.

Product Description
1.2 pounds of our Buffalo Bills Extra Smokeys. Our Extra Smokeys are a truly unique, heavy smoked beef stick with "Olde World" flavor in every bite.

It was also good as burrito filling with some extra cheese. This is a good starting point to let your imagination make good great. The expiration date on mine was good for a year, well into 2008.

Review of Wild Ride All-Natural Beef Jerky, Hoppin Hickory, 12 Count 1.25-Ounce Bag

I like beef jerky to be tender, not leathery and near impossible to chew through. This beef jerky comes in perfectly sized pieces and is very tender, probably even more tender than my favorite brand, Pemmican.

As for the flavor, it's not very strong. There is some flavor but the tenderness of the beef makes up for the lack of flavor. It also isn't as salty as other brands of beef jerky that I've had before. Overall it's a great buy and I recommend it.

Review of Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli, 7.5-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 12)

I bought a case of these on sale.I haven't eaten them since college.I grabbed the last can (<2 weeks after they arrived) and sat down to enjoy it.The microwave can/lid works really well.Nothing spilled, no mess to clean up.The ravioli could have had meat (as advertised) cheese or even spinach inside... it's really hard to tell.The pasta is soft and gooey.My kids are begging for more.This must be kid comfort food.

Somehow I doubt it's really nutritious. I believe everything in moderation is ok though...Think I'll wait for a few months before ordering another case.

Review of SnackMasters Beef Jerky, Teriyaki, 1-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)

Due to my predecessors last review, I felt compelled to write a response to their unfounded complaints. I have friends that go deer hunting (Ted Nugent style) and cure the meet into jerky so they can sell it and store it for longer periods of time. They , and Wikipedia both agree. The softer the jerky, the more fat there is in it. Actually, I want to thank my predecessors for their reviews. It tells me that they know NOTHING about how jerky is suppose to look, feel, and taste. This jerky is top grade A select jerky, with just the right seasonings. I put a piece in my jaw without chewing for awhile till it gets moistened up, then I chew (this is what my friends said is the way to savor jerky). My predecessors obviously are use to jerky that's 3% or more high in saturated fat (which according to Wikipedia, isn't jerky at all). Because of the the previously poor reviews, I thought I'd set the records straight. If you want a soft meat by product with fat that calls it self jerky, then buy the other brand. But if you want the REAL thing, this is it!

Review of Oh Boy! Oberto Thick Cut Beef Jerky,Teriyaki, 1-Pound Jar

This jerky, like their Hickory Sticks, is delightfully sweet and for the most part readily chewable. The flavor is different from the Sticks, of course, but wonderful. I have found a FEW in each jar that are very hard to chew, or even impossible, but those aren't typical and the majority of them have excellent texture. It would be nice if they could somehow weed out the bad ones, but I still recommend this product very highly if you like meat that is more on the sweet side.

Product Description
3.5oz of our Sweet n' Spicy flavor Buffalo Bills Western Cut Beef Jerky. The unique flavor of our Sweet n' Spicy Western Cut Beef Jerky is created by blending the sweetness of brown sugar with the spiciness of black pepper and garlic.

Review of Wild Ride All-Natural Beef Jerky, Kickin Teriyaki, Hormone & Antibiotic Free, 4-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

I love this stuff! Wild Ride Kickin' Teriyaki (Hormone & Antibiotic Free) has NO nitrites and NO MSG. It is made with natural ingredients, which is about as healthy as you can get while still eating beef. It is also low in calories. An entire 4-ounce bag is only 200 calories, or 50 calories per serving, high in protein and low in fat. I'm watching my weight, and Wild Ride is a welcome addition to my balanced diet.

Essentially, it is sliced steak in a bag. An average piece is bite-size, about one inch square and about 1/8 inch thick. Keep in mind that Wild Ride is definitely NOT shoe-leather-tough like most jerky products, thus traditional beef jerky lovers may be put off by the tender quality of the meat. If you're looking for tough meat with the consistency of a radial tire, then buy something else. But if you want beef jerky that is chewy, tender, and flavorful, get this product.

I have only one complaint; about 1 in 5 bags have a few pieces containing gristle or sinew (the pieces don't break down completely when you chew them). While this is an inconvenience, the problem is still minor enough for me to give the product five stars based on overall taste and quality.

Kickin' Teriyaki is slightly sweet (like Teriyaki sauce) and not too salty. It is one of my favorite flavors. MMmmmm! Yummy!


Product Description

Review of Golden Valley Natural Beef Jerky, Original, 4-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 8)

great product but there is a lot confusion around filling these orders. at first there was a problem with them sending the correct amount. instead of a package of 8, they sent one package, which isn't even an option. they finally corrected that and now they consistenly send the wrong type. i keep ordering the buffalo slabs and they keep sending the regular jerky.

Product Description
Natural beef jerky; high in protein, low in fat. Comes from beef raised without added hormones or antibiotics, and contains no preservatives, no added MSG, no nitrite, no erythorbate, and no artificial ingredients. Golden Valley Natural Beef Jerky is only minimally processed. US inspected by the Department of Agriculture.

Golden Valley Natural Meat snacks offer an alternative to the confection and pastry-based protein bars and drink powders. Protein eaten in a natural solid form is much more appealing and satisfies the appetite longer than liquid protein shakes and drink proteins. Our natural meat snacks are many times more convenient, less sticky, and easier to eat than traditional jerky products and meat sticks. In addition to being high in protein and low in fat, many Golden Valley Natural meat snacks contain less sugar and salt than traditional meat snacks off the shelf. Our meat snacks are also devoid of traditional cured meat preservatives, such as nitrite and erythorbate.



About the Brand
Idaho-based Golden Valley Natural specializes in all-natural meat products made from animals that have never received artificial growth hormones or antibiotics, have always been fed a 100% vegetarian diet, do not include artificial ingredients, and are minimally processed. Their ranches were the first in the U.S. to have a non-hormone certified beef herd. Golden Valley Natural owns and operates its own USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art processing plant in Idaho Falls, and has been in the meat-processing business for more than 35 years.

In the words of Roger H. Ball, owner and president of Golden Valley Natural: "Golden Valley Natural Beef comes from cattle that are raised in the lush green pastures and mountains of Idaho. These cattle are accustomed to crisp, clean air and wide-open spaces as nature intended. Golden Valley Natural Beef guarantees that all animals are treated humanely and have never received artificial hormones or antibiotics. I believe in giving cattle a healthy, comfortable environment from birth. I have never used artificial hormones in my cattle, and I never will!"

Review of Jack Link's Smokehouse Beef Jerky Medallions, Hot, 80-Count Jar

Call me a fool, but when I ordered Jack Link's Smokehouse Beef Jerky Medallions, I thought I was getting beef jerky, not frisbees. These seemed more like doggy snacks than real beef jerky.Having eaten many Jack Link's products before, I expected more of the same good quality snacks but this was not one of them.These are made from chopped bits of beef which are then formed into discs. Consequently, the resulting product is tough and plastic-like, for want of a better word. I imagine dogs would enjoy them a great deal.

Two stars for the pleasing peppery flavor and the value. Zero stars for the consistency.

Review of Oh Boy! Oberto Thin Style Beef Jerky, Teriyaki, 3.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

Review of Smokecraft Hickory Beef Jerky, 6-Ounce Camo Packages (Pack of 12)

Not what I expected it to be or taste like. Not your typical beef jerky. It's hard to describe what I mean by that, sorry. Thin slices of processed beef. Slick and waxy/greasy, so much so that you feel the need to wash your hands afterwards. A little spicy - burns the mouth a bit afterwards (I guess this is from the added "smoke" flavor.) Not as "tender" as advertised.On occasion you may find quite hard little pieces in them (may be fat, I don't know). I wouldn't suggest eating too many of these at once.
I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 2 because I got it at a good price (because of a rebate) and received a large quantity, so I feel I got my money's worth and because it serves its purpose as a handy, portable snack at work to subside my hunger. But. let's just say that I was planning on buying it again in the future, until I tried it. Now, I'll opt for another Jerky over this kind. Perhaps it's a matter of taste and some enjoy this; but I don't.

Product Description
Smoke Craft Hickory Beef Jerky is seasoned with that Smokey hickory flavor you love for a satisfying good taste. This tender style beef jerky is also high in protein and low in sugar so it makes a perfect snack anytime.

Review of Hamburger Helper, Beef Pasta, 5.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

A decent, middle of the road hamburger helper flavor. It tastes very similar to a salisbury steak with gravy. I use ground turkey with these mixes instead of ground beef - it is cheaper and much lower in fat. Prepare the ground turkey the exact same way you prepare the ground beef.

Review of Wild Ride All-Natural Beef Jerky, Gallopin Pepper, 4-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

The jerky is the driest I have ever come across and crumbles as soon as you put it in your mouth.Taste is terrible but I guess you would have to be able to get past the texture to better judge the flavor.Even my dog doesn't like the jerky, normally his favorite treat.

Review of Smithers Beef Broth Concentrate, 32-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2)

Typical beef-base liquid concentrate but nice all the same.Use it like Julia uses wine; especially if you're a fan of savory stews and similar hearty concoctions.Don't bother with precise measurements; a good dollop or two and you're good to go.Remember to eliminate additional salt if you're using this product.It comes as a two-pack; plenty to get you through the fall and winter burguignon season.

Review of Hormel Compleats Beef Pot Roast with Potatoes & Carrots, 10-Ounce Units Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 6)

Hormel Compleats Beef Pot Roast with Potatoes & Carrots is very tasty, has meat, potatoes, and carrots in good quantity and proportions.There's much more gravy tban necessary in this meal.There is an unreasonably large amount of salt in this meal.Don't have one of these in a day you'll be eating other salty food.

I quite like this meal, but I do worry at how salty it is.

For health reasons I probably won't buy this particular Hormel meal agsin.

Review of Wild Ride All-Natural Beef Jerky, Hoppin Hickory, Hormone & Antibiotic Free, 4-Ounces (Pack of 6)

I love this stuff! Wild Ride Hoppin' Hickory (Hormone and Antibiotic Free) has NO nitrites and NO MSG. It is made with natural ingredients, which is about as healthy as you can get while still eating beef. It is also low in calories. An entire 4-ounce bag is only 200 calories, or 50 calories per serving, high in protein and low in fat. I'm watching my weight, and Wild Ride is a welcome addition to my balanced diet.

Essentially, it is sliced steak in a bag. An average piece is bite-size, about one inch square and about 1/8 inch thick. Keep in mind that Wild Ride is definitely NOT shoe-leather-tough like most jerky products, thus traditional beef jerky lovers may be put off by the tender quality of the meat. If you're looking for tough meat with the consistency of a radial tire, then buy something else. But if you want beef jerky that is chewy, tender, and flavorful, get this product.

I have only one complaint; about 1 in 5 bags have a few pieces containing gristle or sinew (the pieces don't break down completely when you chew them). While this is an inconvenience, the problem is still minor enough for me to give the product five stars based on overall taste and quality.

Hoppin' Hickory has a spicy and smoky flavor that is perfectly balanced and not too overpowering. MMmmmm! Yummy!

Product Description
Wild Ride All Natural Hickory flavored Hormone & Antibiotic Free beef jerky that has NO MSG added, NO Nitrites, NO Artificial Preservatives, Non-GE, Low in Carbs, high in protein and low in sodium.This tender beef jerky is made with a patented tenderization.
