Beef Stroganoff with Noodles | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings

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!

I have been looking into shelf stable meals for camping, emergencies and when I am just to lazy to fix a good meal. I was really excited to try this freeze dried meal from Mountain House, beef stroganoff is one of my favorite meals. This was the first time I have tried a freeze dried meal. I had watched several videos where people have lauded the taste and texture when they ate this particular product, so I was ready to see what the hype is about. These meals aren't cheap, but not much is these days, especially a hot, filling meal that taste yummy. It was very simple to prepare the entree, you tear off the top of the package and add the specified amount of water. Except I didn't, exactly. Oh, I measured 1 and 2/3 cup of water and nuked it for 4 minutes until it was boiling hot, but I only put a bit more than a cup of the hot water in the package initially. I stirred the contents around, not viciously, I didn't want the freeze dried ingredients to crumble into dust, and then sealed the package and shook it a few times for good measure. I set the timer for 5 minutes and put a kitchen towel around the bag to keep it from loosing heat. After 5 minutes, I stirred the contents some more (it was hot!,) there was some creamy sauce, it looked good, but I figured since it had to sit for 4 more minutes, it was probably still rehydrating. So, I added about 1/3 cup more water, which still wasn't all of the water that was originally called for, almost, not quite. I gave it another stir around, sealed it, shook it, wrapped the towel around it and set the timer for 4 minutes. When I opened the packet this time, it looked wonderful! The contents were thick and creamy, just like I like my stroganoff. Of course it doesn't look as good as home cooked or restaurant quality, you must remember the ingredients had to be made to a size to be freeze dried in a cost effective as well as a consistent manner. It looked good to me though and didn't look like mush. The taste was very good in my opinion. It had a strong flavor of mushrooms, onions, beef and the taste of sour cream shone through. I enjoyed it thoroughly and yes, I ate the entire bag myself. The only draw back, it gave me a bit of heartburn, which I don't usually get. This may have been more the fact I was a little piggy and not the fault of the meal. I not only plan on purchasing this particular meal again, but will be trying other Mountain House products in the near future.

Sealed well, last long shelf life and easy to prepare. Amount of food is great 👍 and tasted good.

Taste great and has a long shelf life. There also great to have in case of an emergency.

This is a remarkably good, tasty product. Will definitely be buying this again

Absolutely delicious! It's filling, comfort food on the trail. Yes, it's freeze dried. Yes, it needs time to hydrate. Yes, it's far better than eating fast food back home. It has great flavor, really decent ingredients, and rehydrates fairly well. Beef is always a little picky when rehydrating, regardless of the brand. Portion size was good for a single meal and therefore makes a good dinner when hiking or camping. At the price point, this has become one of my absolute favorite trail meals!

Great tasting freeze dried meal and one of my favorites. I always add a little more boiling water to any one of my freeze dried meals and add an El Pinto Green Hot Chile 4 ounce sauce container too! I usually wait 10 minutes longer than the time suggested on any of the food packages, so that all ingredients become thoroughly hydrated. I mix every 10 minutes and if you can keep it insulated to maintain the heat, it's better for you and your meal. Bon appetit!! ps. Don't be afraid to add your own flavor enhancing spices...

The best tasting company of them all in my opinion.
