Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 6-Pack

This is a favorite of mine. I do add about 2 TBSP more water than called for, and I let it 'steep' 5-10 mins longer. This is partly because of the pouch type. Getting water in the corners and getting everything mixed up can be a bit of a pain. It's also because I like a softer biscuit.The first time I had these, I was surprised at MH's interpretation of this Southern favorite. It's bits of biscuit in with everything else in the gravy. It's not as peppery as I like, but that's easily remedied. It's also not the usual presentation but it works!Mountain House is our favorite, by far, prepared foods seller. Never any TVP or fillers. They don't use wads of salt and/or citric acid as cheap "flavor". No preservatives or any other crud.As well as being a prepper in general, we live in the mountains. Being snowed in, often w/o power, is fairly normal and this is part of our preparation for it. They have a large range of meals, a decent range of sides and breakfasts, and you can't beat a 25+ yr shelf life.I have a love/hate thing going with MH's pouches. Most stuff we buy is #10 cans, but for BOBs and other times, we stick with pouches. They can be a bit deep for normal utensils, so a bit messy to get your hand in, but you can cut the bag down after it's finished 'cooking' and that helps.The corners of the bags can be a pain, to make sure you get the water in everywhere, but the corners are also what allows the bags to stand on their own. That is *very* handy, especially if you're by yourself, to be able to pour w/o having to hold the bag.For these, I sometimes eat them if my hubs has fallen asleep on the couch before I'm ready to hit the sack. I have a kettle in my office and I just make me up one of these for a midnite snack.

I was skeptical when my friend offered one of these to me when I said I was thinking about having some Indian food delivered. Gave it a try, and it was easy to prepare.I was blown away, really impressed. Tasted like freshly made. Also really impressed with the (claimed) 30 year shelf life. I ordered a six pack of these and I'm about to order another.It satisfied my craving for those Indian spices. A flavor explosion. However, it doesn't overwhelm. Something to savor. The chicken melts in the mouth.Really surprised there aren't a thousand positive reviews.

Taste really good. The tomato and cheese sauce is great. Let it a couple of minutes longer than instructions and it thickens up. Super easy to make

Tastes great. Love using for emergencies or camping.

Wish it were less expensive.

Mountain House Products are so delicious. They are super easy to prepare and very filling. The size is a welcomed plenty. As a 30 freeze dried product, the quality is super surprising (just like military rations). As important, this food is fun to eat. But be careful because if you eat it like drinking water six times a day, you will gain weight.

This stuff is the BOMB. Hands down my favorite Mountain House meal.

Price is high as the amount of sodium. Still one of my go-to meals. Spicy and flavor full
