It’s been years since I last tried any of the custom packaged hiking food. In the past they were expensive — and no tastier than my tried and true home made recipes.
But in a weak moment at Wal-Mart I grabbed a package of Mountain House – Chili Mac w/ Beef: 2 servings.
Excellent.
I would buy it again. Tasted great and the stand up pouch is convenient. Simply add 2 cups of boiling water and dinner is served.
I added shredded sharp cheddar. Mmmm.

Ok, so it tastes good. But how much did it cost at Walmart?
Cannot recall. About US$4.50, I believe.
It is $5.65 on Amazon.
I like a lot of stuff from Mary Jane’s Farm. It’s all vegetarian & organic, more expensive in the stand-up pouches, cheaper in bulk.
