Mountain House Chicken & Dumplings, Freeze-Dried Camping & Backpacking Food, 2-Serving

Surprisingly, tasty! I gobbled up the entire packet. It's not salty like other camping food I've tried. I'm a remote construction worker, without access to a microwave, a fridge or nearby restaurants, and I got tired of cold canned food and salty snacks. I bought a 12v water kettle and just add the hot water to the packet during lunch. Convenient and tasty! I'd buy again!

It's been my favorite main course meal that Mountain House makes. The 2 serving package is very filling too. With all Freeze-dried products that I use I add an extra 2 ounces of hard-boiled water to every package to make sure it rehydrates. Nobody likes crunchy noodles, but the beef chunks still come out a little crunchy and I let the package sit about 20-30 minutes. Best of all you can eat right out of the package and when done roll it up and zip it shut. When camping we pack it in, and we pack it out.

These are phenomenal. I keep them around for power outages or when I need a meal on the go in the middle of nowhere. They taste great and you just add boiling water, stir and let sit for about 10 minutes. Warm and tasty. Easy to clean up. No dishes to wash.

This here’s my all-time favorite freeze-dried grub from Mountain House. Those biscuits and gravy hit harder than a stampede after a cold night on the trail — good, hearty stuff that’ll stick to your ribs. Shelf life’s longer than a desert sunset, and it’s light as tumbleweed in your pack. Cooks right in the bag, so no dishes to wrangle. Just a heads-up — there ain’t no measuring cup, so make sure your boilin’ rig’s got one handy. I let mine soak a little longer than the label says, and if I’m car campin’, I throw in some extra sausage for good measure. Mighty fine eatin’ under the stars

Portions are more like one meal per bag for hiking, around 400-600 calories total. Very easy and it's a nice warm meal after a long day, just boil water and let it sit for 10 minutes. The meat is excellent, and the pasta has a better texture than the canned pasta. Lightweight and easy to pack. Eat right out of the zip bag and burn or pack out the small amount of garbage. Love the packaging.

Pleasantly surprised with how tasty this meal is. I'm a big fan of the resealable bag. After adding hot water, the bag seals tight and doubles as a nice hand warmer while your meal cooks. In under 10 minutes you're ready to grub. The sauce is pretty tasty and the noodles and meat rehydrate nicely, they aren't tough and don't have a weird texture like some other brands. I don't know a ton about MRE's but these seem to be on the high side price-wise. I'm fine with spending a couple extra bucks though for a meal I'll enjoy, not just choke down..

MountainHouse Lasagna w/Meat sauce is excellent. The texture was good and taste was fantastic. Filling and something I would purchase again. The shipping was fast and received in good shape. Great for camping, day trip or emergency food. Please consider!

This products price is high because it has a high value . The convenience of not needing to wash or even possess a pot or pan to prepare this meal must be considered when evaluating it . Tear open the sealed package , remove the preservation packet . Revealing the pleasant aroma of a carefully chosen selection of ingredients . Pre - measured prepared ingredients that will retain flavor and nutritional value that will invigorate body and senses giving a step up in survival . A nominal measure of boiling water introduced into the original package which includes a zip closure and a short amount of time is all that is necessary . The only drawback I see is that a spoon 🥄 was not included . This along with the water and a heat source is all that a consumer needs to provide for a high value meal .

2 ingredient biscuits and my own flour gravy tastes better than this. I don't like soggy biscuits, and the flavor of this gravy is worse than anything I have tasted. Mountain House could make the gravy more appealing. Walmart's Sausage Gravy in a can tastes better than this.

i haven't tried this yet. but for now, this bag is average size, not large. not sure if it can feed 2 people. i do like that the expiration was over 20 years lol
