Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
This really doesn't have that many noodles in it but it still tastes pretty darn good. It reminds me of a can of chili more with very little "mac" flavor. Calorie count per oz is pretty good but unless you have some high calorie snacks you're going to want to take one of these per person rather than the suggested 2 servings per package due to large caloric output while on the trail. The preparation can't get any easier then "boil water, open bag, dump in water, wait then eat". I would suggest putting a little less water than the suggested 2 cups as this makes it a little more soup like then I personally like but with that you should probably drink more water after eating to aid in digestion. Personally if I don't, I can have grumbly guts for a while as it seems to draw from the moister already in me. Also, plan on letting it sit a bit longer then the 10min if you want the meat to be more like normal meat then little firm sponges. Overall a great product that is light and tasty. I really wouldn't mind even eating these at home if they weren't quite so pricy.

Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
Went on a strenuous hike and brought both this brand and another brand. I was basically stuck with what I bought because there we were days away from any stores. The Beef Mac was one of the most delicious things i've eaten while camping. Tasted better than canned food and I would eat this at home! I'll probably only stick with MH from now on and try the others before I go out on an important hike where taste and nutrition is key.

I'm a Mountain House fan, and this is my favorite one. It tastes so good you almost cannot tell that it's freeze-dried.

Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
I bought this product after reading the reviews of other Mountain House products. I agree with the other comments about the taste...I thought it tasted very good...much better than I expected for a freeze dried dinner. A friend and I had this for dinner after a long day of backpacking and day hiking. We each had a pouch to ourselves, and I am glad we did. The pouch says "2 servings" but in my opinion it is not enough to split if both guy are really hungry like we were. I will use this again on my next trip.

Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
This is one of our favorites! Great flavor. I'd use a little less than the 2 cups of water (we find most of the products a bit watery if we add all the water it calls for) and because of altitude, let it sit a few more minutes than it calls for on the package.

If you're going to be sharing a tent with someone else, do them a favor and skip this meal as it will give you some serious gas. Otherwise was a great meal.

Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
My second freeze-dried meal on a road trip to Yellowstone - I wasn't sure about it because I'm not a fan of kidney beans, but once again, Mountain House has done a fine job and I gobbled my meal down quickly. To flesh out the meal, I also made the Mountain House Green Beans.
One note - since you have to use enough hot water to "cook" the pasta, it ends up with too much liquid when you're ready to eat it. I ended up closing all but a tiny part of the pouch and draining the liquid off into a mug to dispose later. This made the meal less "soupy" and more like a casserole.

Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef - 2 Servings:
We were very pleased with this meal-- had excellent flavor and was very satisfying. Next time we might bring a few more noodles to throw in. Also would go great with a few saltine crackers if we can find a way to pack them in without getting smashed. This will definitely be a repeat!
