Mountain House Ground Beef #10 Can

I ‘m a beginner at prepping and Mountain House fit the bill. I wanted protein in my stock for emergencies. Seeing that it is good for 30 years I figure if I never need it I can pass it down to someone that does. I have gone camping and tried some of their meal pouches and they were very good. The only thing about the pouches is that it says 2 servings and I could eat the whole thing. I am not a big person at 120 pounds. Mountain House really stands out when picking up emergency food or camping. I will definitely buy again. I tell all my family and friends this is the best value of protein meals compared to any of the competition.

So we like to use this to make a big pot of chili. Basically the bare bones version of this is fully backpackable for weeks wilderness style. Freeze dried onions, a bag of black beans, canned tomatoes and your choice of spices. Slow cook the beans tomatoes and spice over the campfire all day it only gets better the longer you can keep it going. Add the dried ground beef up to an hour before you want to eat. It still soaks in the flavor and keeps its form. If we are not full on roughing it, less walking with everything in the pack. It's good to have around when cooler space and ice are a premium. Fresh tomatoes, onions and jalapeños throw in ketchup, cummin and McCormick's chili powder cook it down and add the beef with less than an hour of cook time left and this is as good as it gets.
