tasty and great nourishing meal whilst backpacking for miles and hours.

I got to go on my first backpacking trip recently and wasn't really sure what to get, turns out this was the right choice! I was with some seasoned backpackers and didn't have to feel second rate to their meals or preparedness. I didn't think to stir/mix it extremely well as it was rehydrating, so I got a lot of extra seasoning and spice at the bottom. I can imagine how much better it would have tasted if the flavor and kick would have been evenly distributed, but even at that, it really had a good taste.I probably could have let it rehydrate a bit longer, but I was hungry and didn't mind a little texture hahaha. I says two servings, but I definitely ate all of it in one sitting and it was not too much.

It's not really a stew, but it is filling. The flavor isn't bad, but it's pretty mild. There's a tiny bit of spice from the peppers, but a dash of hot sauce helps a lot. For the amount of sodium in these freeze dried food they never taste particularly salty; I add a little dash of salt which helps the flavor a lot, this includes Mountain House brand.Potassium level is very high, which I appreciate on something meant for high activity days.Overall, it's perfectly serviceable, but I'd bring additional flavor to add.

I'm used to these backpacking meals being super high in cholesterol. This one was nice because it actually tasted healthy and delicious! The seasoning tasted like home cooking. It was very comforting on my backpacking trip

I've never tasted one that I didn't like, and they are super filling. I plan to get one of those super long backpacking spoons for easier usage.

It hydrated OK and the texture was OK, but it really was lacking in flavor. It was a little flat.

Delicious! Probably my one of my favorite backpacking dinners but in the future I would make some modifications. I would bring hot sauce (maybe one packet from Taco Bell) and a little cheese to go in it. A mini guac would be great too but possibly heavy.Also this is a big meal. My friend and I each had one and we couldn’t finish them. I normally eat my entire backpacking meal but this genuinely seems like two dinners. Something to consider if you don’t want to carry uneaten food or have room for it in a bear can.

Great menu item. Bought for my vegetarian spouse. It was a hit.
