Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

I cannot recommend this item. The melted cheese in the lasagna sticks, builds up and hardens on my lexan spoon. It makes a mess that is difficult to clean with hot water and a few drops of soap.

The taste and texture is okay but I would not put in my pack again even if there were not cleanup issues. The Mountain House Spaghetti and the Chili Mac meals are much better if you want pasta.

Mountain House freeze dried meals are generally very good and hassle free.

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

As one user alluded to, it will stain synthetic spoons. The serving size is pretty conservative, too. We figure 1.5 servings/person. Other than that, it's great. As light as ramen noodles but infinitely better tasting.

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

I have had this a few times now and the taste is very good, and I will continue to buy it. You must mix it very thoroughly or else you will not get all the powder mix on the bottom of the bag. It is a bit watery, even a bit soupy if you use the full amount of water stated on the bag. The one nagging problem is after eating with my titanium spork, it is nearly impossible to clean without a scouring pad, but the taste always outweighs this annoyance. Serving size is small for 2 people, if having for dinner you will need a bit more to satisfy your hunger. Would be 5 stars except for the cleanup of the spoon.

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

Had this with a friend on a weekend trip, we both loved it. Exceptionally tasty, cheese had a bit too sticky of a consistency though, making it hard to get off the utensils, but the texture was still good nonetheless. Highly recommended, one of the best freeze-dried meals I've had from Mountain House. Filling, nutritious, and makes for a nice, warm meal after a long day of hiking. Shall buy again in the future.

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

This is a winner. I liked it so much I could have 2+ servings to myself. I will stockpile a case of this. Be careful to mix it thoroughly so that all powderized components get rehydrated. Some hard rolls, tea (or wine) and dessert add to this meal very very well. Yes. Use metal utensils. Plastic ones will get stained. 500+ mg of sodium per serving is pretty reasonable, compared to some other freeze-dried meal varieties of nearly three times this much sodium. Some people like extra salt at the end of a day of backpacking, but remember that a _daily_ allowance is in the 2000 mg range.

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

Bought a package of this to try it out before going backpacking for the first time. My only other frame of reference for this type of food is MRE's in basic training. Definately better than MRE's (though I don't have nearly as much hate for them as some do). It was easy enough to prepare. I also tried out my backpacking stove at the same time and boiled 2 cups of water and added it to the pack. Waited the 9 min it says to on the bag and noticed it was still to hot to eat after that. But no biggee, it was cool enough to eat about five minutes later. Everything was thoroughly cooked inside, no crunchy spots. The flavor was pretty good for freeze dried. It reminded me of cafeteria food. Could have been a little punchier on the spices but I like spicy food as well. Overall I will buy this one again and take it with me though I think I will also take some crackers and crumble them into the lasagna.

The only real con is the price. It's kind of expensive buying a whole weekends worth at a time. And Mountain House is the cheapest of the freeze dried foods I saw in the REI store. I can't imagine the more expensive entrees from Backpacker's Pantry could be any better.

I brought this out on a rainy weekend in Yosemite and couldn't have been happier with the taste. Note that I'm a 5'11" 140lb woman and I polished this "2 person" meal off by myself and was ready for dessert. Easy to make, light to carry, and my favorite meal of the trip. Yes, my titanium spork was left a bit cheesy. Very worth it for the flavor and satisfaction it gave me though! So darn tasty...

Comments about Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce - 2 Servings:

Tastes great- as good as Stouffer's Lasagna. The 2-serving size is filling enough for one person.

Beware: the cheese will bond to your eating utensil; would not recommend hydrating in a pot or bowl.
