This meal was very easy to make and filling and had a lot of flavor. Everything heated well though the eggs were a bit runny for my taste. The flavors were good and the meal was very hearty. If weight isn’t a concern I think this would go amazing in a tortilla with some hot sauce as to me it tasted like the inside of a breakfast burrito.

Pros

  • Easy
  • Filling
  • Tasty

Cons

  • Consistency

I tried this meal as a member of another site in exchange for a review while at Lodgepole Overflow Campground in Lake Alpine.

This meal was very easy to make and filling and had a lot of flavor. The salt intake is a bit on the high end, so be aware if you generally avoid high sodium foods. It is an excellent backpacking choice because it is lightweight, filled with nutrition and calories.

A huge benefit is that it cooks quickly with minimal equipment. All you need is boiling water, a measuring cup (key to perfectly cooked meals), and a utensil to stir and then eat the contents right out of the pouch!

This 4-ounce container (like many of the Mountain House entrees) when easily rehydrated, is large enough for two...provided you have a side of toast/tortilla/bagel and coffee. Delicious and nutritious.

Somewhat expensive, but if you get on the Mountain House website/mailing list, you can get yearly specials, which can cut costs.

Pros

  • Meal in a bag for two
  • Easy to rehydrate
  • Tasty meal
  • Nutritious

Cons

  • Cost, which can be deferred when buying in bulk or seasonal specials.

Fast, easy camp meal for two. Mountain House has a complete line of affordable breakfast, lunch, or dinner entrees....even deserts! Recommend utilizing their website as special pricing is available.

Background

Extensive backcountry camping.

Price Paid: $5-6/packet
