Single Serve Pro-Pak Meals
Product Description
These convenient vacuum-packed meals take up less space in your pack (or bear canister) than traditionally packed dehydrated or freeze-dried meals. They do not expand at high elevations. They are also a hearty single-serving (16 oz) and cost about $5 at REI and other retailers. To make, you open up the pouch, which stands up on its own, remove the little preservative pouch, then add 2 cups of boiling water and stir it up. Close the pouch and let it sit for 8 minutes, then open it up... and voila, you've got a yummy meal :)Please note, the photo shows the Chili Mac Flavor, but they come in lots of flavors. The Lasagna with Meat Sauce is really good, as is the Chili Mac.

Beef Stew Sucks
I really, really didn't like the beef stew. It had too many peas, potatoes, carrots, etc., that taste bad. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard but this one made Dinty Moore look truly gourmet. I'll try the chili mac next time.

Good stuff
The ultimate in fast food! A lot of calories, nutrient fortified (usually...), and tasty as well. I usually go with finger-food that doesn't need to be cooked, but this stuff is so easy (and dang if it isn't nice to have a hot meal after a long day), I've been bringing along the stove on more and more trips.
I agree with Melba about the stew, it just isn't good. I like all of the pastas, and a lot of the meat + rice combos.

Good stuff.
Mountain House makes pretty good tasting food for freeze-dried. Very light and easy to pack. I don't find them completely filling sometimes though.

Good product
For the most part. They are compact, and seem to have plenty of for for one person. (Or maybe I am not as hungry as other people) I tend to stay away from the beef products, since I can't stand the little "nuggets" that look like and probably taste like deer shits.
And I will third that the Beef stew is pretty nasty.
