    Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef For Two:

    Had this on my most recent 2 day backpack trip. Very light weight, easy to make, tasty, and satisfying. Although there were more beans, beef, and sauce than noodles, it was still yummy and a product I would use again. I would make it with less than 2 cups of water, maybe 1 and 1/2 cups. A bit watery with the entire two cups.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef For Two:

      After hiking all day, this is an easy and delicious meal. Probably not enough for 2 hungry people, but plenty for 1 starving hiker.
      Next time I will leave it boil for another few minutes. I think the price is reasonable, if you can afford REI, you can afford Mountain House.
      Hey, when you're out in the wild, spend some money and get the best. Happy Trails...

        Another one of our favorites...really good flavor. As with the others we let it sit a little longer than it says to.

          I've taken this meal on almost every backpacking trip it's hands down the best Mountain House offers. Great tasting pasta, chili meat and beans! Having chili mac on the trail will keep you full and satisfied. I'm an average sized guy and I can easily pound a whole meal myself. Feeding 2 off of this meal is possible, but once you cook it you'll want it all for yourself.

          Tried this for the first time while backpacking. Tastes just like chilli.. GOOD chilli. One of the better Mountain House meals (most are good, but this one is great).

          Stains easily though, be careful what you get it on.

          Comments about Mountain House Chili Mac With Beef For Two:

          The single serve chile mac is my all time favorite. Yummy with a little spice to it. The strange thing is that this product, along with the mac and cheese (also very tasty} was nice and thick in the single/16 oz pouch that our fellow hiker ate but was watery in the 20 oz size. Followed the instructions exactly, so the next time we make the larger size would use less water. The flavor though is perfect.

                  Just drop 1.5-2cups (depending how thick you like it) of boiling water into the bag, stir, zip it shut, wait 10mins and VOILA!, some good eats! I don't know about every day but I could eat this every other day. Yeah, it's pretty darn good.

                  The serving size is a bit conservative, especially when you're on the trail and starving. Other than that, the stuff tastes great. We always try these at home first and this one made it past the test.
