I tried 4 popular brands of canned beef stew. There’s only one I wouldn’t buy again.

I’d definitely reach for the Dinty Moore and Rao’s options again.

I tried premade beef stew from brands like Progresso, Dinty Moore, Rao’s, and Campbell’s.
I warmed up each one on the stovetop and added small noodles, green onions, and salt.
My favorite stew was hearty and filling and had a great flavor.

I’m not the best in the kitchen, and cooking is typically the last thing I want to do after coming home from work. As a result, canned beef stew has been my saving grace on the nights I don’t have the time to cook an entire meal.

So, I decided to taste four brands of canned beef stew — Progresso, Campbell’s, Dinty Moore, and Rao’s — to find the best version.

I warmed up each stew on the stovetop, as per each can’s instructions, and added small noodles, green onions, and salt to get the most out of my meals. Here’s what I thought of each one.

I started strong with Progresso’s take on beef stew.

I’d definitely reach for the Dinty Moore and Rao’s options again.

Before this taste test, I expected to enjoy Campbell’s beef stew the most because I was familiar with its products. However, I couldn’t shake my distaste for the tomato-heavy flavor.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Rao’s stew, but it definitely needed noodles or a side of bread to compensate for its small pieces of meat and vegetables.

The Progresso option was good, but overall, the Dinty Moore stew was my favorite for its strong flavor and hearty broth.

Ultimately, depending on how filling I’d want my meal to be, I’d reach for Dinty Moore and Rao’s again.
