Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
I bought the Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon while researching food for an upcoming hunting trip. Eggs and Bacon sounded like an excellent way to start the day, so I bought one package to try out.
The preparation was quick and easy. I followed the directions on the pouch by adding one cup of boiling water, mixing and I let it stand for a little longer than recommended. I poured out the excess water and took a taste.
The flavor of the eggs were drowned out by an overpowering taste of smoke from the bacon. The particles of bacon were soggy and unappetizing. I figured they would be soggy, but I didn't count on how much the texture of cooked bacon plays into the overall enjoyment of bacon. The eggs were a bit spongy, but nothing that would have stopped me had it not been for the smokey flavor. I added a few drops of my favorite hot sauce (Trappy's Louisiana Hot Sauce). It helped, but the smokey flavor still overpowered it. Figuring that I couldn't make it worse, I dumped ten to fifteen shakes of sauce in the packet. This made it tolerable enough to choke down.
I would not buy this specific breakfast meal again.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
I was a bit concerned with the low rating for this product, however for freeze dried eggs and bacon, it was actually pretty hearty and good. I found that most of the negative reviews were due to it being "soupy", but step 4 says to drain off the remaining water. After that, its a pretty tasty start to the day.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
Went on a 14 mile hike and had to camp for a night and decided to have this for breakfast. It didn't take too long to prepare however, this taste really awful. It is too spongy and water was not absorbed at all and had a bad after taste. I had been traumatized by this product that I can no longer eat the real scrambled eggs with bacon at home. I ate just a tiny bit of this, had to carry the leftover with me for the next 8 mile hike. I ended up hiking on an almost empty stomach because of the after taste, I couldn't eat anything else because I just felt extremely awful afterwards.

As others have noted these eggs will be soup if you don't do them properly. The trick is not to add so much water. Let them steam a bit longer than is recomended and they are a winner. Obvously they are not what mom used to fix but they (after you figure out the proper preparation)will grow on your taste buds fast.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
I'm shocked by the negative reviews. This was my first mountain house product and I was really impressed. It looked weird at first, but tasted really good. I made sure to squeeze a lot of the water out since the eggs do retain the water. Maybe putting them in a tortillas made it taste good also. It was like a breakfast burrito! I picked one up because it was at a good price and I'm glad did. I took a can of beans which fell over when I turned around for 5 seconds and was much heavier. Cheaper by far, but I think for the price you are getting very lightweight, delicious and easy meals.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
I've never managed to prepare this food without turning it into some sort of egg and bacon soup. Don't get me wrong, I really like this soup. The strange fluffy bits resemble eggs and the small crunchy bits taste like bacon. What can I say? I love a good hearty breakfast in the morning.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
Its like the eggs burst with water every time you take a bite. This was the last thing I had for breakfast on the last day of my trip. The only thing that saved it from being thrown out was the bacon bits. They picked up the gross egg flavor.

Easy to make, but the eggs really lacked flavor. I could taste some of the bacon flavor, but the eggs tasted like flavorless yellow sponges.

The guy at the Rei store told me to try this product when I asked which freeze dried food to try. I am new at all this and all I have heard is my friends telling me that freeze dried food is gross. I am getting ready for my first backpacking trip and so I am trying out many different flavors. This one I ate the whole package of. I was told not to use the full amount of water it calls for so I didn't. Other meals I take one bite of and that is enough for me. I liked the smokey flavor. It was a strong flavor so it didn't taste blande at all. It wasn't as filling as I hoped but I won't complain because at least I know this is one meal that will be going on the trip with me

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:
I bought this meal before a 20 mile weekend trip, thinking this would be good when i woke up in the morning. From the package It looked like there was 2 bacon strips but, as it turned out it was chopped up and mixed with the eggs. All and all it was just nasty. Just get 3 CLIF bars and avoid chokeing it up on the trail.
