HORMEL SQUARE TABLE Slow Simmered Pork Roast Au Jus

HORMEL SQUARE TABLE Slow Simmered Pork Roast Au Jus is presented as a convenient, homestyle ready-meal offering — a 15-ounce sealed, ready-to-heat container you’d expect to find in the center-store aisle with other canned and shelf-stable meats, microwaveable entrées, gravies and broths, often shelved near other HORMEL prepared-meal lines. It suits quick weeknight dinners, game-day spreads where you need an easy protein to shred into sliders, or pantry-stock scenarios for storm prep or last-minute company. The brand leans on HORMEL’s long-standing meat heritage and the Square Table sub-brand’s family-friendly, “slow-simmered” storytelling to appeal to busy households, single professionals who want fuss-free cooking, and older shoppers who recognize the name. Packaging and label cues emphasize comfort and simplicity — phrases like 'Slow Simmered' and 'Au Jus' suggest homemade quality, while a small 'natural flavoring' callout creates a mild health halo; there is no organic certification and no child-focused graphics. In plain terms this is a processed prepared meat product: the ingredient list includes modified starches, added sugars, yeast extract and flavorings to stabilize, thicken and intensify flavor. Sensory notes: expect tender, pull-apart pork pieces or slices in a thin, glossy brown jus with a savory, slightly sweet backbone from brown sugar and a round umami lift from yeast extract and pork stock; texture is soft and saucy, ideal for spooning over mashed potatoes or piling into rolls. The ritual is fast and low-effort — heat, plate, and serve — a shortcut to a nostalgic roast without the oven time.
