    • Delicious
Flavor Name: Beef Stroganoff with Noodles
All of the Mountain House meals that we have utilized have been extremely consistent in very well made quality meals that bring functionality, ease of preparation and a very quick way to make a very nutritious meal to all of our outdoor adventures and also to any emergency situation you may find yourself in. They are very filling, every meal has enough portions for two grown adults. Not only are they delicious and nutritious but in almost every instance they've been very fun for us on our adventures because it's nice to be out in the backcountry and have something like beef stroganoff, hot and ready to eat in under 10 minutes. This Mountain House meal, the beef stroganoff is really, really good! The noodles are perfect, the sauce is mild, the onions, mushrooms and beef are perfectly cooked. There is a very generous portion of beef providing 12 g of protein per serving with two one and a half cup servings per meal these are perfect for quick, easy to pack, easy to carry, easy to prepare, nutritious meals. This meal is delicious! ... show more

    • Outstanding in EVERY way
Flavor Name: Buffalo-Style Chicken Mac & Ch...
Why did you pick this product vs others?: when I was in college, I, “accidentally” found my way into an old Cold War bomb shelter. There were lots of freeze dried meals, so I liberated a few, being a poor college student. After eating a couple of them, I decided that it would actually be better to die in a nuclear holocaust than to have to survive on those things. fast forward to 2025. I’ve tried a whole bunch of camping meals by many different manufacturers and they all have left me wanting for a variety of reasons. Either the food was bland or it was just disgusting or the packaging was bad. I heard that this brand was supposed to be really good. A friend of mine who is a nurse sent me a text message one night saying that she was hungry but the cafeteria was closed and nobody would deliver food that late. I sent her four of these meals, all different, and suggested that she keep one in her bag and one in her car for just such an occasion. She told me that they were delicious. I bought a bunch of them for myself and I have to agree. These meals are wayyyyy better than anything I’ve ever tried. They have great flavor, great texture and are substantial in size. The packaging is awesome. It is thick, heavy material with a zip lock that really holds in the moisture. This is important for two reasons. I add the hot water, seal the bag and let it sit for five minutes and then I turn it over upside down for another five minutes so that the remaining water drains down to the top of the bag and hydrates everything up there. I have yet to have a single drop leak out. Really a great value for the money at 10 bucks. I keep them around for those situations where I’m working at 2 o’clock in the morning and I am really hungry, but don’t want to take the time to make food. I can get a great meal in 10 minutes. ... show more

    • Excellent taste, but pricey and calorie-packed. Gluten free
Flavor Name: Yellow Curry with Chicken & Rice
Review Image by YuenX YuenX
I am an avid wilderness backpacker, hiker, camper, and survival enthusiast. Emergency food or lightweight meals are thus a great part of my life, particularly when they can be stored for 30 or more years. Mountain House makes some of my FAVORITE, freeze-dried food. IN SHORT Like many Mountain House food, this Yellow Curry meal tastes excellent, is easy to prepare, and is packed with calories needed for survival or backpacking. As is true with freeze-dried food, they store for decades and make excellent emergency meals. The biggest downsides are the need for access to hot water and the expense: they are not cheap. Nonetheless, I love Mountain House food for on-the-go eating. WHAT IS FREEZE-DRIED FOOD? Whenever I introduce them to my friends, they immediately think of MRE's -- Meals Ready To Eat -- common with the military. I had my first taste of MRE's over 10 years ago and did not like them. The premise was great though: open the MRE and start eating. No cooking necessary. But they usually did not taste good. Perhaps things have changed, but I had never tried them again since. To preserve food without needing refrigeration, there are multiple options: Dehydrating (think beef jerky), baking, smoking, preserving, canning, etc. PROBLEM with those methods? They all change the way the food will taste. Too salty, too dry, too yucky, etc. Then there are some where the food could get warmed by a chemical reaction that you activate with the package, but those are heavy and difficult to dispose of while out in the wilderness. Freeze drying, on the other hand, is a long process whereby the food has its water removed, maintaining its natural composition and keeping its flavor, vitamins, and nutrients. I will cover what that process is like shortly, but the important part to remember is: the taste remains essentially unchanged AND the meal is much lighter to carry around. Have you heard of "Astronaut food"? NASA popularized freeze-dried food with the introduction of icecream that did not need refrigeration. Note: industrial freeze drying could date back as early as the 1800's, but the idea has been attributed as far back as the Incas of the 13th century. FREEZE DRYING PROCESS How does food get freeze-dried? The cooked meal is first frozen, then placed in a chamber where the atmospheric pressure is less than 1 ATM (lower than the natural pressure we experience at sea). Over the next 18-20 hours, the food is heated at a very low temperature, and because the pressure is less than normal, ice skips becoming a liquid and jumps straight to gas. That gas is then sucked out. It requires a lot of energy -- more than the other forms of preservation. The end result: we are left with food that has no water left, and as such, makes it much lighter to carry and more difficult for any micro organism to spoil. For that reason, freeze dried food can be kept for a minimum of 30 years when stored properly in an air-tight, dry, dark place (and a desiccant to absorb any moisture that might be trickling in). To eat (or drink), simply add back water. Now let's look at this Yellow Curry meal. PROS - Great taste and texture as if the meal was (somewhat) freshly made - Easy to prepare: just add hot water, wait up to 10 minutes, then eat straight from the pouch - Long shelf life of over 30 years - Light to carry - Eaten meal leaves only the pouch behind that you can easily carry back to civilization for proper disposal/recycling - Excellent item to have for survival/emergency use - Packs a LOT of calories, enough for 2 people - Gluten free CONS - Packs a LOT of calories and can be too much for a single person - Contains a LOT of salt (63% of daily value at 1,460 mg) --- When backpacking in the wilderness or when surviving, this is not an issue. Salt is actually good for you when working out hard - Needs access to water and fire (to boil it) - Relatively expensive SUMMARY Freeze-dried food is an EXCELLENT way to bring delicious meals on the go for camping, hiking, survival, or office snack. Packed full of calories, they are excellent for those types of activities (maybe not as an office snack if you are watching your weight or blood sugar level). They are long-lasting, easy to store, easy to prepare, and easy to dispose of. Environmentally, they may not be the best option as they take a lot of energy to make, and thus are also relatively costly. This Yellow Curry meal tastes great. OUR MOUNTAIN HOUSE RECOMMENDATIONS My friends and I have been backpacking for a long time and have tried many packable meals and brands. When it comes to freeze-dried food, Mountain House is unanimously our favorite. TIP: adding olive oil can further enhance the flavor! TASTY - Noodles and Chicken - Pasta with Meat Sauce - Chicken with Ribs and Mashed Potatoes (by far our most favorite) --- Tip: Save the mashed potatoes for breakfast or incorporate into another meal. Then add water to the chicken for a delicious pouch of chicken soup. - Chicken a la King - Mac and Cheese (Kraft is cheaper) - Chili Mac with Beef - Beef Stroganoff - Pasta Primavera - Beef Teriyaki with Rice - Chicken Teriyaki with Rice - Chicken Stew --- Contains cubes of potatoes, making this meal quite filling - Lasagna with Meat Sauce - Wheat and Wild Rice - Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Granola with Milk & Blueberries - Neapolitan Icecream ACCEPTABLE - Lasagna with Meat Sauce - Mexican Style Rice and Beans and Chicken - Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (portion is skimpy) ... show more

Flavor Name: Chicken Fajita Bowl
I tried the Mountain House Chicken Fajita Bowl on a recent camping trip and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor is bold without being overpowering, and the chicken actually has good texture compared to some other freeze-dried meals. The rice, peppers, and beans rehydrated well and made for a hearty, satisfying dinner after a long day. Prep is as simple as it gets — just add hot water, wait about 10 minutes, and it’s ready to eat. The portion is generous enough for one hungry hiker or can be split between two if you’re pairing it with another snack. Overall, it’s one of my favorite Mountain House meals — flavorful, filling, and packs light. Definitely keeping a few of these in my gear for future trips. ... show more
