    Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Louisiana Red Beans and Rice:

    A very tasty meal although a bit salty. But then all packaged meals are salty. We had this as dinner after a hard days walk. It tasted good. Spices were just right - not bland and not too spicy to give a heartburn. Granted we were tired, but this was a good meal. Enjoyed it throughly - and it is one of the least expensive meals.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Louisiana Red Beans and Rice:

      I won't say it isn't flavorful... because, I do like the taste.
      It isn't SPICY though. It's like, a Midwesterner's version of a Louisiana dish... not a Louisianan's version of a Louisiana dish.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Not bad if you're hungry

        Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Louisiana Red Beans and Rice:

        This was one of the better Backpacker Pantry products that we tried on a recent long weekend trip. All in all, it isn't that bad (better than MRE food), but it does require longer to cook than the directions indicate and is rather lackluster. I'd recommend this for breakfast, but I can't see it sustaining two active hikers as a lunch or dinner. It's cheap, lightweight, and easy to prepare - beyond that, don't set too high of expectations. We'll probably buy this again, but I would not rely on it to fill up two people under any circumstances.

          Comments about Backpacker's Pantry Louisiana Red Beans and Rice:

          Tastes great, but is a bit bland for "Louisiana" fare; we add some hot sauce to it, and then it is great. Let it sit for a few minutes longer than the package instructions say, and you'll be a happy camper.
