Ridiculously Good
Mountain House Lasagna is delicious, and I don't mean "delicious as far as backpacking meals go", but "delicious as far as food goes". This has been my default packing food for years. I've consistently found that when I pack a variety of foods for a trek that I inevitably end up wishing that every night was lasagna night. If you're looking for a packable meal, you'd be hard pressed to find any better.
Quick tip on the preparation: Err on the side of LESS water. Put in just enough to cover the dry noodles, and after a minute if it's looking a bit dry, add a little more. Also, consider throwing a few parmesan cheese packets from a pizza place in you pack. The added cheese kicks this up a notch.

Tasty... a bit Chef Boyardee-like
By ordinary food standards, this is okay... a little on the sweet side, like canned mass market pastas. For freeze-dried, it's quite tasty. The noodle chunks are a little on the small side for a "lasagna", and the directions ask for (I think) too much water, making it soupy. Also, the serving size is a bit small for two... as a six-footer, I found eating the whole package ("2 servings") to be still a bit on the spartan side. A "serves two" package of veggies makes it satisfying, though.
My "unhealthful" rating is, in fact, all about the sugar. The sauce needs to be more robust.
All that being said, this one is definitely going into the bug-out-bag. Kids will love it.

It's a winner.
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.

Tastes good...just add water!
Mountain House Meals are the best tasting camping meals that I've tried. They are simple and tasty. They are easy to make. You just heat some water, pour it in the pouch it comes in, close the pouch, and let it sit. Then you can eat it right out of the bag. There's no actual cooking or clean up. All you need to do is heat water which is great after a long day on the trail. Plus you don't have to carry any other ingredients. They are leightweight and easy to pack. They have a long shelflife. We even keep them on hand at home for emergency food. The lasagna and beef stew are our favorite varieties.

Great taste, bit watery, tough on spoon
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.

The best dehydrated lasagna by far
I must agree with others who give this product high marks. For dehydrated processed food this is truly excellent. Although I love the fact that there is real cheese consistency, I must take away a star due the ability of the cheese to stick to cooking utensils. I wonder if they can't improve on that. Hmm, makes me wonder what that stuff does inside your body..... Just thought about that one. Oh well, I would rather deal with sticky cheese than eat some tasteless offering from another brand. Just remember, don't give the cheese a chance to "cure" on your utensils or pots or you'll be sorry!

Mmmmm tasty!
I thought I'd give one of these freeze-dried pre-packaged meals a shot for my last backpacking trip. It turned out much better than expected!
This isn't fresh homemade lasagna, but it tastes pretty good! Nice and flavorful. It was also just the right amount of food after a long day of hiking.
The one downside, as other reviewers have mentioned, is that it will destroy whatever utensil you use to eat this. If I brought this again on a trip, I would honestly bring an extra disposable plastic spoon that I could just throw into the bag after eating.

Sticks to the ribs (and everything else)
I've enjoyed this meal on a couple of backpacking trips, and find the lasagna to be particularly filling. Lots of gooey goodness. I tend to carry come cracked red pepper / parmesan packets and a little squirter of olive oil that I add to the mix (I add that stuff to everything, really)... and it takes it up a notch for sure. As others have mentioned, it sticks to the plastic (I use metal) spoon, but if nibbling yummy cheese of of your spoon on a cold night after a long hike is your worst problem, then you have good problems.
