Hormel Beef Tamales IN A CAN - WHAT ARE WE EATING?? WHY??? - The Wolfe Pit 

the best tamales come from a woman in a parking lot selling them out of a Igloo cooler.

I actually like these nasty things! Lol! They're nowhere near as good as the real thing, but I usually melt cheese on them and add a little habenero sauce and sour cream.

When i worked in the oilfield i use to carry a few cans of those behind the seat. Pop a whole in the lid then set them on the exhaust manifold of a big cat for about 45 min and dinner is ready.

I've eaten these for around 50 years. Childhood favorite. I think they're great. As a kid, sucking on the wrapper was a highlight.

😂😂😂 By the sound of it, his high school crush broke his heart

If you want good Tamales and can not make them yourself head to the Mexican neighborhood in your town county or state and hit up a lil Mexican market usually they all have bomb ass Mexican grandma made Tamales some even have desert Tamales made with fruit

May I suggest that you try some authentic homemade tamales sometime. They are delicious. Whatever that was in that can in no way,shape or form represents a real tamale .

ah this was just hilarious, you get better each video bud. "she was a beautiful girl...BITCH!"

there is approximately 5-7 tamales in the can, where can I retrieve my Plasticine knife

i bought these and personally. i like them!

bland with 900mg of sodium? Holy Shit. lol

I cried watching this, tamales are NOT meant to be canned, just like burgers.

Real tamales are worlds better. A long time ago we used to add these canned things to Ro-Tel tomatoes, Velveeta, chopped veggies, and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce in a crockpot. Really nice queso dip.

I actually like these.

I Love these things! Lol

There is a lady that brings homemade fresh tamales to the hospital and sells them to waiting patients, since the wait to see the doctor can take over 6 hours. She is always a blessing to see

I'm 61 been eating these my whole life love them. And potted meat lol

Pretty funny and gross. I just made some fresh tamales both pork with red chile (not spicy) and cheese with chile. (spicy). really good. I have no idea how you clx possibly put so much crap in your mouth including this. thank you for your sacrifice, ive always wondered how those tasted.

My dad rest his soul was a celebrity chef in the 90s and did promo videos for major oven companies and worked at middlebury college supervising 10 chefs and 100 or so servers for their catering department. We ate great when we went out but you better believe he loved these things.

I frigging love them they taste great.

I used to love Tamales in a can, I haven't had them sense I was a kid though. funny commentary Larry!

I've actually had these over the years and about the only way you can enjoy them, is to top them with a good thick homemade chili, sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese. All that will make you forget all about kissing your sister, lol! You were cracking me up Larry!

the kissing your sister joke and the high school crush skit killed me so much idk why maybe because its 5 am lmao

it's 3 am on a friday night and i've been binging this series alone. it's so addicting.

Haha, I actually like these tamales. Now, just how high are my cooking standards? Won't go into that right this moment.

I would suggest real Mexican tamales. not those canned ones.

I mean, they're not nearly as good as authentic Mexican tamales, but my daughters and I still love them. A great, quick addition to taco night.

I grew up eating the Hormel tamales in a can. I usually add a little Cholula chipotle hot sauce, sour cream, and melted cheese on top. Darn good tasting like a meal!

Great review. I grew up on Hormel tamales (my dad loved them) so I'm so used to the way they taste. But the fresh kind out of food truck or taqueria is the best.

I think there is a sad story hidden in this video, hehe.

I actually eat those every once in awhile. Different brand though.

"Kids crumbled up homework assignment" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

3:48 THAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD XD😂!!!

You are very entertaining and informative. You saved me from a purchase too. Thanks

Thank you for enduring these. I have been curious for years.

I am a tamale HOUND ! I have a Mexican buddy at work, Jose, that is the tamale GURU ! He gets off work at 12:30 on Friday night, goes home, and makes about 200 tamales ! They are labor intensive. He's up all night long . Then, on Saturday, he delivers them to people, at their home, for $1.50 a pop ! Individually wrapped in foil. They are the best tamales I've ever had. Piping hot, made with chicken, minced jalepenos, and verde sauce ! I usually buy them by the dozen !

This video was hilarious, also you should try the casoROLE recipe from the can for a video

no joke here I was walking through Kroger the other day and saw these on the shelf and thought "the wolfe pit should review these!" was looking for potted meat to try for the 1st time Kroger doesn't sell it. found potted meat and Treet at Walmart though! potted meat is good stuff Larry! 👌 have yet to try the Treet though

Thanks for the helpful video.It brought back an ancient memory. My mom fixed us tamales in a can in my youth 50 some years ago, to give us a first hand experience with Mexican food. It seems from your taste test that they have kept the taste and texture I sorta remember. Paper too! Count me as a new old man subscriber.

I can see where the wax paper was terrifying at first 😂 Authentic tamales, made with love ..are out of this world

Those things look nasty Larry.... :)

Will you consider making the recipe on the back? That would be a cool video. :D

Reading all the cool comments for Mexicans really shows how good of a people you are.

great to see you having more fun with your commentary.. always good to have a few laughs

My mom wraps her tamales with wax paper as well, I know she makes others with plantain leaves and what not, but hey, if you're ever around the LA area you can pick up some pretty legit tamales just about everywhere even from my mom if you'd like :D

The was different because the serving size changed from 3 to 2, with 3 servings per container instead of 2. Probably changed to seem healthier.

In Southern California, there's always a lady screaming TAMALES every morning in the corner of every block and sells them off a big cooler. The flavors were either chicken, pork, beef, and cheese. My dad still buys them and usually offer me a few.

Yeah, I tried this once before. I thought the tamales had no taste too, but I did like the sauce.

Go to a Mexican market and get real tamales. Those gross things in a can I wouldn't even feed them to my dog.

Dude, get yourself some good homemade tamales. Or, if that doesn't work, get the ones from the deli section at Costco. Should have at least on Cinco de Mayo. My grandfather introduced me to canned tamales. You can eat them, but they are not even close to real tamales.

1 salt 2 red chilie sauce 3 cheddarjack shredded cheese. this is how you eat tamales, and the comment about getting them from a parking lot cooler is spot on

I cant seem to get enough of this series - im hooked

Larry, I've had tamales in a JAR before, long ago. They looked very much the same as these! I had a little better impression of them though than you did with these. I rather liked the taste! LOL! But I can't stand the thought of kissing my sister, so I will not get any jarred or canned in the future! Great review! Very entertaining!

I've been eating these since I was a kid you need hot sauce and cheese. No they are no where near as good as the made from scratch...but why not...Yum Yum. Thanks.

Thanks for the honest review. I was just thinking of picking some of these up for my preps. Glad I saw this review before I did.

I’ve had a many times and they’re not always that great but I found if you cook them in a skillet and reduce the sauce down the sauce thickens up and they come out a little bit better

dont try drunk cause you'll just eat them with the wax paper on , and they'll still taste like generic cat food.

I love these. Does that make me trash.

Larry, I used to love these many years ago. I saw them several years back and decided to try them again. Just like you, I thought they were basically flavorless, except for that prevailing "Hormel taste" that is in everything they make. I think you will find that they are wrapped in something more like parchment paper and not waxed paper. You can actually by tamale paper wraps on line so I guess it's not uncommon these days to make homemade tamales with paper wraps instead of corn husks. Another interesting video! Thanks!

I bought some canned tamales once a while back. Ate them with some 90 second rice. I also got some much bigger tamales at Mexican Fiesta. Now those were truly something special.

I love those!

After pumping out all those videos, I said to myself, I hope he didn't kill over from that junk.

canned tamales were spicier in the 70's and were quite popular in my hometown. some restaurants had them on the menu and my school had them on the hot lunch menu. you're supposed to unwrap them cold, arrange them in a baking dish just big enough for the tamales and sauce, then cover with shredded cheese and bake them in a hot oven for 20 minutes or so until the top is browned and bubbly.

I'm a"FOODIE". Those are Mississippi Delta style Tamales, a soul food adaptation of Mexican tamales eaten by Mexican migrant farm workers. "Real" tamales can be found in the Walmart frozen food section. You ought to try them sometime. I get mine from a Mexican grandfather whose wife makes them, who has a temporary sidewalk stand.

OK...You got it wrong! Canned tamales from Hormel(formerly 'Derby' in a jar.) are AWESOME. What you need to do is make yourself a Tamale salad! mine is made this way: 1 Can of Hormel tamales 1 can of Wolf Chili( It is a Conagra brand--sorry Hormel, you suck since you got all watery) 1 tomato diced shredded lettuce shredded cheddar tortilla chips- I use 'Donkey' brand chips since they have less salt and no gluten, and are very good. Whether you are drunk or high, this 6 dollar investment feeds 2 fat guys easily....... burrrrrrrrrrrrrp. Oh.....dump the 'sauce' in your sink to clean your pipes/disposal- that is where all the fat is anyway. BTW, despite having Mexican friends and their gracious moms cooking, the best tamales I ever had came from a Styrofoam cooler in South Padre. 3 bucks got me 6...and man........were they soooo good.

I see these cans of tamales at the 99 cents store all the time! luckily I can go to Costco and buy real authentic Tamales. Yum!!! :-)

I actually used to like these growing up. Havent has these as an adult, feeling may have changed.

Woh! Over 100,000 subs. Congratulations! That part when you said "bitch" made me laugh so hard. You're hilarious.

Bitch....Tramp!! 😂😂 Great video Wolfe!!!!

So, this is like eating canned ravioli or spaghetti, with a little spice.

I had some yesterday and today. Yesterday I heated them in the oven. They were okay. Today, I fried the leftovers with some can chili. I also ate two eggs with them. They tasted much better fried.

I actually love these specific tamales in a can

Bring back the Wolf logo

6 tamales

I am Mexican. But I must say, I do like these. They are a guilty pleasure

Excellent video! So damn entertaining and very informative.

That's a very sad tamale.

i'm more of a jamaican patty guy mon

Nalley's are better than the Hormel ones but they both taste good.I've been eating them for decades.They are best heated in a pan with some water added to the sauce.

These tamales (with shredded cheese and hot sauce), Hormel chipped beef over mashed potatoes (not toast), vienna sausages straight outta the can and Chef Boyardee beef ravioli fed me throughout my early childhood when we were broke. Now, I'm not broke and still buy and eat 'em all!

omg as a Mexican this video offended me. these tamales are nothing near the real stuff.

I remember eating those when I was a kid. Derby was the brand they came in a jar with a corn husk wrapper.

I love your series! Daily videos! All the cans !

😂😂😂Love your videos & humor!! I actually ate these a LOT as a kid but can't stand them now. I make the real thing cuz it's worth it!

Growing up my dad would randomly bring home fresh tamales that would be sold on the corner in So Calal. They were always so good! When we moved to Nor Cal we bought frozen ones and I was so sad about how bad they tasted. Wrapped in plastic/wax over corn husk was the first part I noticed. I've had these before and they reminded me of the frozen ones. Fresh is the only way to go!

I love fresh tamales. A Mexican restaurant in my town has really good ones, though not as good as the one my mom got from a food truck that was passing trough. The guy's wife had made them at home and he was selling them, they were great!

I am a Mexican food addict, I actually have 2 dozen tamales in my possession at this very moment! While these are NOWHERE near authentic tamales I have always liked them and they are best served over hot rice. I will admit I had some recently and they weren't as good as they used to be. I found some chicken ones at the dollar store and didn't like those at all. BTW I NEED that Plastisu knife!

I actually used to blend these with a can of refried beans for an off the wall dipping sauce.

😂😂😂 hilarious and loving your videos. Tasting the food so we don't have to

im mexican and my grandma makes tamales all November and December. We put whatever we want. ketchup, cheese, hot sauce, enchilada sauce. whatever you want. It doesn't matter. It's America lol

hey wolfe love the new profile pic and intro!! oh and the vid is pretty good too!!! cheers

Im in San Antonio we just made a few dozen on sunday of tamales. Im so happy right now

I actually ate these today. They weren't bad. They were basically like a Chef Boyardee canned ravioli, but Mexican.

I love your commentary about your high school crush 😂😂😂😂

I dump the sauce, pull off the paper, and once heated in microwave, Louisiana hot sauce. I also buy the frozen Supreme beef tamales. You will love Sabritones puffed wheat, that taste like skins. I love the frozen Supreme frozen tamales and Hormel Turkey chili with beans. Sprinkle on some hot sauce.

Put the Hormel tamales in a baking dish with 2 cans of hormel chili without beans. Cover with cheese bake at 350 for 20 minutes. It is awesome. Also you can add onions and japleno too

My mom used to put those tamales in a skillet with some oil and fry them to a golden brown. Then she work put cheddar cheese on them and plate them up. They were so good cooked that way.

I tried these about a year ago same brand and I ate the whole can, I liked the flavor. I think I microwaved them for about 15-20 seconds

4:12 Mr Mooney: "So _that's_ how it is in Wolfe's family"

Wow Wolfepit dude you need to do an episode of what are we drinking 🍻 hahahaha 👍
