Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef | Freeze Dried Survival & Emergency Food | #10 Can

This is my favorite dehydrated chilli of the few I have tested. I opened the can and used over a couple weeks with no issue. I did leave the dry packet in the can and keep the plastic cover on it. The fact that a plastic cover comes with the can implies this product can be opened and resealed for future use. No idea how long an open can will last but a couple weeks was not an issue. Making smaller meals from the can was not difficult. I boiled the same amount of water as the size of the mix. I did 1 cup of mix and added 1 cup of boiling water. I sealed in a bowl using tin foil and it came out perfect. Recommend the can if you can get it cheaper than the pouch. Note the pouch is two servings and the can is 10 servings or equivalent to 5 pouches. Oddly, the larger size can is usually a little more expensive than ordering the same quantity in the smaller pouches. And the pouches last longer since they stayed sealed.

Delicious, convenient and fast !

This is one of the better tasting Mountain House meals. It's one of the kids' favorites. As with most of these freeze dried meals though, the amount of water and time it says to let sit varies. I've found with this, you need to let it "cook" longer in the hot water than the instructions say otherwise your macaroni may be a little crunchy. You might also want to add a little bit of extra water. But the taste is good and the price is also lower compared to some of the other meals by the same company. Another quality product from Mountain House. Easy to make, and tasty and filling. I'm happy with this emergency/camping food.

My son and I love a good ruck and camp. I buy a can and split it up into smaller bags to mix up over the boiled water from the pocket jet stove. Honestly, the stuff is so good it can be eaten as a snack without water if you wish. Or add less water for a thicker paste and some low carb tortillas for enchiladas by the fire. Solid Calorie and nutrition count make this an excellent choice for the trail or impending zombie apocalypse. ;)

Tastes great!
