I don't want the mushrooms in Dinty Moore stew. Please hold the mushrooms. I don't know why you would change something that made you famous. Don't fix it if it's not broke. I can't eat the new stew because I do not like mushrooms. Thanks for mail for messing with something that I grew up on. You should've left it alone. It was already a famous product. Without mushrooms.

Although I'm disappointed that the chunks of roast beef I remember in my Dinty Moore is gone, I've resigned myself to eating chunks of ground beef (meatballs?) in their place. Not an improvement by any means. But an acceptable substitute if necessary to keep the price competitive. The carrots and potatoes are still terrific, and the umami provided by the mushroom extract really makes the difference. Many companies work on improving their product. Hormel works on improving their bottom line. Telling.

I've been eating Dinty Moore Beef Stew as long as I can remember and I can say I just had my last can. If you believe that small ground up pieces of something that's supposed to be meat can replace a chunk of beef you are sadly mistaken. Please change the picture on the can, there are no large chunks of beef in the stew.

I have used Dinty Moore Beef Stew as a staple for years and years. A few years ago they changed the recipe and at first I didn't like it, but I grew accustomed to the change and continued eating it several nights per week (single person). Now they have changed it again and I won't even eat the remaining cans I have. It's terrible. It has the strangest flavor. I don't know what I will do now - but it will be something different because this new recipe is the worst ever. Good luck Hormel - don't know why you want to mess with a good thing. SMH

I don't know why they changed it. It was perfect as it was. Why do companies ruin what was once wonderful? Do they not realize they will lose their life long supporters by the attempt to gain a few new people? Pringles did this to their basic chip in 2010 or 2011 (I think to make it crispier) and it ruined the flavor. I can't even eat them now they're nothing like they were. Whatever they changed just ruined it, like Dinty did here.

I really don't understand all of these low reviews. The meat in this tastes fine to me and with crackers, this is a filling and satisfying meal for me and it has been for years. I tend to switch between this and Armour Beef Stew and both are great in their own way.

I have been a loyal fan of the beef stew for as long as I can remember but that has changed. This last can I opened had NO meat in it at all, just gravy, potatoes, and carrots. This was always my favorite meal and I could actually cook it right in the can over the campfire. But it has steadily gone downhill, first to ground meat and now no meat at all. Let us all know if you decide to change it back. I will not be buying it any longer. Very sad sign of the times.

I recall they changed the recipe a few years ago. I keep trying it and hoping I can get a can where they go back to their original recipe. But, it just doesn't happen. They used to have the meatball stew which was similar to the old recipe. But they now seem to have discontinued that as well. Really miss the old recipe with the thicker gravy and pieces of stew meat. Hope they bring it back someday.

I mostly cook at home but in a pinch I will use good quality canned meals. Dinty Moore has always been a favorite go to, quick, and delicious....until now. I was shocked that our dinner had no meat chunks, just a very small amount of ground something that I guess was supposed to be a meat product. I will not be using it again, it was way below my standards.

I've been eating this product off and on for more than 40 years and it used to be a favorite comfort food, especially for camping. I've bought my last can. The flavor has changed significantly but even worse it no longer has stew meat in it, which changes the texture completely. It went from "yum" to "ick!".
