Mountain HouseMountain House Beef Lasagna & Freeze-Dried Food for Camping, 9 Servings, 30-Year Shelf-Life

Can arrived in good condition.

Can came in undented with no rust and lid is secure. I count on the quality of Mountain house. As a serious "put a wayer" for hard times I rate Mountain House tied for 1st Place. I will continue to purchase their #10 Cans and also the buckets. Even the items I have purchased that are on sale have not let me down.

I've tried almost every long term food over the years and the lasagna is better than any "MRE"

Solid supply for long term storage.

I recently brought the Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce on a camping trip, and it was a fantastic choice. Before committing to the larger #10 can, I tried one of their smaller serving options. After a full day of hiking, setting up camp, and enjoying the great outdoors, the last thing we wanted was to spend too long on dinner. With just hot water, we were able to prepare a delicious meal in under 10 minutes.The layers of pasta, seasoned meat, and rich sauce were incredibly satisfying after a day of adventures. Everyone enjoyed it, and it was the perfect comfort food to end our evening under the stars. The flavor exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to bring the larger can on our next trip. Mountain House has certainly earned a place in my camping essentials!

I'm writing this because I'm surprised. My fiancé really enjoyed it, and this after she actually knew it came from a can and was rehydrated with water. Between the two of us we ate the whole can, which was not in the plans.To be fair, I only cracked it open because, between the economy and a work shutdown, we were quite scarce in the kitchen and I really didn't want to cook. Figured it was a good time to see if she'll be fine with freeze dried foods.

Unit came prestine with a 35 year shelf life. Family tried this particular lasagnia on a lark in the retort packaging designed for backpacking everyone enjoyed it and no leftovers remained. we are a family of three two atomic adults and a six year old daughter... ended up getting puppy dog eyes to surrender my remaining portion to her.

Buy the #10 cans and find you some reusable zip lock bags....the really think plastic kind...Divide up this can into 5 servings...about 4.8 ounces of dry food to each zip lock baggie. Tuck them in your freezer and for about 4 bucks you have an awesome meal for the trail...use about 1.5 cups of water to boil, pour in the baggie wait 5 minutes and eat right out of the bag. You can purchase these in the mylar pouches but it will cost you over double. My wife and I buy the #10 cans and this is our trail and wilderness food preps. We have tried them all and this is our favorite...I usually have at least 20 cans of this stuff on hand. Makes great long term storable food too but there are much cheaper ways to store long term survival food. Buy bulk rice and beans and the 5 gallon food grade buckets and mylar bags and do it yourself.
