Mountain house is my go to on the road. Airline pilot in and out of hotels and I never leave the house without my electric kettle and one pack of mountain house per night. Mexican Style Adobo Rice and Chicken is one of my favorites. If cooked properly, the chicken can be a as succulent as made from home. Mexican style rice mixed with veggies add a nice and healthy blend of flavors. It all gets better too when the slight heat from the spices come through.

5 BroadSideBarn
This will ALWAYS be a part of my camping/hiking/car bags. Best flavor. Very filling. And no crunchy or chewy chicken. One of the best thought out meals.

5 grnjag2478
I buy several products to store up for emergencies and as a quick meal when in a rush. I like to add tablespoon organic butter and a 1/8 tsp cayenne for that extra kick.

More Please!:-) My wife is not a big fan of spicy foods. I told her that this Mountain House meal is only slightly spicy. I went through a number 10 can of it by myself in one week.

5 DeeAnn
I was hesitant at first with this flavor because I 'm not a big adobo fan but I was surprised by how much I like this flavor and that it comes in a pro pak. I first had this meal during a ice and rock climbing day and by the afternoon I was starving but it hit the spot!

Probably my favorite pro pak. Tried this the first time in the US Military article ration. I ’ m a long haul truck driver and I keep a bunch of pro paks in my truck in case I stop someplace without food/restaurants. Still well and just need hot water.

5 Camperinacanoe
I purchased these for a canoe backpacking trip. They are very easy to pack- lightweight and sturdy packages that wo n't break open. Rehydrating is very easy with a jet boil. And the flavor of this chicken and rice version is delicious, very savory and hearty.

5 Yah12
I am very pleased with my purchase. I am very surprised that it taste as good as it did.

5 Cigar Steve
I have bought from several different companies and realized I should try some before buying more. I am stocking up for emergencies/ Hurricanes. One brands protein pack is vegan. Lentils and beans. The taste was good but you have to boil for 25 minutes. That takes a lot of propane if your power is out. Your chicken and rice has a lot of chicken and a large portion. You only add boiling water to the pouch wait 10 minutes and it's ready to eat. I did add a little extra seasoning. And great for my girlfriend that has nut allergy.

I have been using Mountain House products exclusively for years and am always very pleased with the quality of food, ease of use, and caloric benefits while out in the backcountry. This was my first time using the Pro Pak series and I was yet again pleased with the meals I purchased. My only regret was not buying more! Highly recommend the beef stroganoff, chicken casserole, and breakfast scramble. I was reluctant at first going with freeze dried eggs but it was a very satisfying meal and a great start to the day.

5 RobG
All of the mountain house products have been awesome. This one in particular is awesome. Has a very creamy flavor and is loaded with chicken bites, noodles, and veggies. Really heartwarming.

As with every other freeze dried Mountain House menu item, the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken did not disappoint! Excellent taste and texture.

5 N T Nilss
I have purchased and used Mountain House food for many situations including hiking, camping and emergencies such as power outages caused by weather. This is my go to food because it has good storage life, lightweight and convenient to prepare. I find the taste and texture to be as good as it gets when fresh foods are not as reliable or available. I ’ ve taken on long and high adventure camping such a being flown into a lake in Alaska and left for a week or more and the weight of a weeks amount of food limits other alternatives. Also easy to have available for quick trips where the food source may be uncertain. I keep some on hand for potential emergencies such as being with out electricity after a devastating storm. It gives me good peace of mind and one less thing to worry about for day trips hiking or hunkered down for bad weather. I also like the taste of all entries I ’ ve used including the Alfredo and I believe Mountain House to have the most consistent product with a huge variety. I ’ m glad Mountain House has been has committed to consistency, variety and high quality. I highly recommend for outdoor camping, hiking etc and also for its nice long shelf life so as to not having to worry about waiting for an emergency whereby potentially you can not get to a store or the store is out. This is a five star standard product by which others are compared to. And there ’s lots of products that would like to be a competitor. Highly recommend for all the above reasons.

While others upset my stomach or had too many artificial ingredients, this brand consistently has a good taste and was enough food to eat and have seconds later.

5 Camille
5 years ago I purchased a variety of preserved foods with the intent of storing them for 5 years, then trialing to see which options preserved best for our hurricane kits. At this point I was new to living in the south's hot humid environment. We purchased a box of mountain house# 10 cans that included this beef stroganoff, lasagna, chili Mac... and I do n't remember what else. We also purchased emergency essentials 4 person 72 hour kit and emergency essentials# 10 cans. Aside from a brief move across town and 5 days without power post hurricane Irma all items mentioned were kept in an AC controlled environment. After 5 years of storage we opened to evaluate. All items were edible, but the mountain house cans were the only items that had preserved good taste. They really were quite good! Each flavor! Thank you mountain house for making an excellent product!

5 Caveman2525
I tried this one out while ate work last week. It was good, however I 'm not as much into spicy food. I do like regular chicken buffalo wings, but ONLY buffalo wings, not the tenders. So, I think that was the only drawback on my end, and that's a personal preference, not a knock against the product. The product was exactly what it claimed to be. My manager quizzed me on what I was eating, and even HE had to admit that it was a good product to be free from a lot of chemicals and last as long as it does!

5 Willg
Very good taste! Pretty excited when I saw this new flavor and immediately ordered some. The taste is excellent, if you like hot sauce on anything you ’ ll like this. The first time we fixed it we use the exact amount of water called for on the package. In my opinion it was a little too much, the second time we didn ’ t use quite as much water and the sauce thickened up quite well. Every time we ’ ve eaten this the macaroni noodles reconstitute perfectly. I was very excited to add this flavor to our supply. I would definitely recommend it if you like buffalo chicken wings it ’s just a great taste.

5 AlaskanWildman
I love this tasty treat. The only issue I had was the chunks of chicken were so large that the center of the chicken chunks remained a little hard from lack of water penetration. I suspect this is only a matter of finding the perfect cooking procedure. Flavor is very good!

5 Bucky

5 Rob008
Since I was a kid and in the military, I always looked for ways to make Mac and Cheese taste better. I recently purchased the new Buffalo Style Chicken Mac and Cheese to see if they had found the answer to my situation. Mountain House has done it again. I am happy to report that they have. I was already a fan of buffalo hot wings to now adding that flavor to Mac and Cheese is pure genius. The new mac and cheese tasted fantastic. The meal has the right amount of hot sauce mixed with the cheese. In fact, I ordered some more for my friends to try.

5 Smashdn
I had my doubts about this one admittedly. They were assuaged however after trying this on a hunting trip. The biscuit pieces had the texture of a fresh biscuit that had soaked a little while in gravy. The sausage crumbles added a nice flavor and texture to the gravy. The gravy taste- wise was on pair with fast food or buffet style gravy, not homemade but also serviceable. The gravy was creamy though it did n't look it. My only want was a piece more pieces of biscuit in there for the amount of gravy. I may have accidentally added a hair more water than the recommended 3/4 cup as my pot only had a marking at one cup. I eyeballed the amount of water to leave it the pot and may have missed it.

This was a random purchase probably a year and a half ago. I am in the army reserves and sometimes we go places and eat food. That is not the greatest. When you 're eating the same type of thing for 2 to 3 meals a day for multiple weeks it gets tiring. I picked up some of this just to have something different and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also gave it to several of my soldiers who were vegetarians, and they also liked it. From that point on, we started carrying forever young mac& cheese with us on our exercises to have something different. I gave it a 10 out of 10 because it really is that good. It's not just good for dehydrated hiking food it is good.

Delicious!! Perfect ratio of flavor, noodles, and veggies. Heated this up for lunch and ate about 1/3, only because we wanted to keep moving but it was sooo good I could probably have eaten the whole thing then. I had the rest for dinner cold but it was still delicious!! I normally have to force myself to eat on backpacking trips but not with this. Would highly recommend and and definitely buy again!

AlpineAire Forever Young mac and cheese takes me back to easier, simpler times. You come back from elementary school and you smell that delicious mac& cheese cooking on the stove and you are ready to chow down. AlpineAire has elevated Mac& Cheese and added some additional nutritional value to make one of the best backcountry meals I 've ever had. Whether you are backpacking a long trail or coming back to the campsite from a long day of climbing, this will call out to you from your pack/car to be eaten. I have to bribe my wife to eat any other meals while we are out camping if there's this stuff around. There's always a lot of `` save some for me! '' I 've been really impressed with AlpineAire foods. Everything I 've had has been great( vegetarian only), and I prefer them over my previous go- to, Backpacker's Pantry, which has recently reduced portion sizes, skimped on ingredients, and increased prices. Eating this one will make you feel transported back to your childhood on the Good Vibes train. Buy a couple boxes for your next adventure or to stock up in case our society falls apart. You 'll want this Mac& Cheese then to remember simpler, better times.

It's actually more like spaghetti noodles in a cheese sauce with veggies, not exactly what I was expecting when I think of mac and cheese. But it tastes good, cooks well, and keeps you alive!

I spent and entire summer stand up paddling 920 miles through remote wilderness, completely self- supported. My meals consisted of dehydrated breakfast, granola/energy bars for lunch, and a dehydrated meal at night. I have a large variety of options, but after realizing I was ahead of schedule, opted to eat my Forever Young Mac and Cheese every night! It was by far my favorite meal, had a higher calorie content than the other options, and was simply easy to digest! This has become a staple of my meal prep when planning long expeditions in the future.

Had a little taste test activity with a few of the newest Katadyn backpacking food purchases with the family and a couple friends. This one was one that people thought was good, but not the best or not their favorite. I 'd for sure eat it while camping or backpacking or hunting and the others said the same thing. There are flavors/meals we liked better, but this one was a solid choice. FYI, the meals with rice we like to add a tad bit more water than stated in the directions and let it sit a few min more to cook/rehydrate.

These were just what I needed for a protein packed snack! One thing I will say they can definitely put more in the package for an 8 dollar pack of jerky.
