Mountain House Beef Stew, Freeze-Dried Food, 2 Servings, GF

It's been my favorite main course meal that Mountain House makes. The 2 serving package is very filling too. With all Freeze-dried products that I use I add an extra 2 ounces of hard-boiled water to every package to make sure it rehydrates. Nobody likes crunchy noodles, but the beef chunks still come out a little crunchy and I let the package sit about 20-30 minutes. Best of all you can eat right out of the package and when done roll it up and zip it shut. When camping we pack it in, and we pack it out.

This here’s my all-time favorite freeze-dried grub from Mountain House. Those biscuits and gravy hit harder than a stampede after a cold night on the trail — good, hearty stuff that’ll stick to your ribs. Shelf life’s longer than a desert sunset, and it’s light as tumbleweed in your pack. Cooks right in the bag, so no dishes to wrangle. Just a heads-up — there ain’t no measuring cup, so make sure your boilin’ rig’s got one handy. I let mine soak a little longer than the label says, and if I’m car campin’, I throw in some extra sausage for good measure. Mighty fine eatin’ under the stars
