Very good.
This is delicious and a high quality product. It’s also a quick and easy way to add protein to your diet. Very convenient. Very tasty. I love it. When I want something crunchy and need to get more protein in, I eat it straight from the can!

Excellent product, but watch the calorie count
Bottom line up front: This type of food is a great choice for an emergency food supply, especially for sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle. The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life, so you can buy them and not worry about rotating your stock for a couple of decades. The biggest downside is that once opened, they need to be used up right away.SHELF LIFE – The #10 cans have a 25-year shelf life (unopened). The biggest downside to #10 cans versus individual pouches is that the 25-year shelf life turns into a 1-week shelf life once they’ve been opened. Since each can has enough for 10 servings, you’ll be eating the same thing for several meals unless you’re cooking for a group.TASTE – In my experience, Mountain House food is really tasty. Let me caveat this review by saying that although I’ve eaten other Mountain House freeze-dried food, I haven’t had occasion to open the ones in the #10 cans (see my review of the “Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit”). That having been said, the Mountain House food I have tried has been very, very good tasting — not just good compared to other survival foods, but good period. I have no reason to expect that these would be any different.WEIGHT/CONVENIENCE – As steel cans, they’re reasonably durable and reasonably lightweight (not backpacking light, but you don’t have to be a weightlifter to move a large box of them). They do take up a bit of volume, but since the overwhelming majority of long-term emergency scenarios involve sheltering in place or evacuating by vehicle, I wouldn’t let that be a deal breaker (personnally, I have a stock of individual pouches just in case I have to leave on foot, but most of my food is in these cans).CALORIES – The problem with most freeze-dried emergency food is that a so-called “serving” has too few calories to meet an adult’s energy requirements (2500 a day for men; 2000 a day for women — more with heavy exertion), so you end up consuming more than you planned. These are no different. So even though a typical can ostensibly contains 10 1-cup servings, you really need to eat two servings per meal to get enough calories to survive — perhaps more. Plan your purchase accordingly.

Excellent product in all catagories…
Excellent quality and taste and super long term storage. Mountain House freeze dried food is what the other freeze dried foods companies try to copy and fail at and the Lasagna is great. Easy preparation as well.

Not really viable
When you get down to it, this is definitely way more edible than a lot of shelf stable foods. Great recipe, easy to prepare, tasty and complex flavor. Decent nutrition and better than normal (water containing) canned stuff. The #10 can is a good style functionally, but vulnerable to damage if not stored in a secondary container or safely put away (nice and lightweight though, even leaving out the absence of water weight).That said, for anyone looking for major long term storage and *stock*, this isn’t a viable option. Mountain House is at a $7500-$10,000+ per year per person price based on caloric intake of reasonable range. Thermostablized MREs won’t last 30 years perfectly like these cans (some brands market dry goods 50+ years realistically), but properly stored they easily last 5-10 years and many retain nutrition and edibility 20+ years. At around half the dollar price for the same calories, you’re looking at a difficult choice if you wanna prep. If you insist on freeze dried, consider homemade and investing in your own equipment. Maybe a mix of both types and cycling through inventory every 5 years to maintain fresh MREs is a compromise if you want commercial product.On the other hand, if you’re just looking for something to take camping or cabin with, these are perfect backups or mainstays. Also good earthquake/disaster food for the short term.

Just like the Pouch
Excellent. Taste just like the pouch.My only issue is personal. The single serving instructions create a really thin sauce. If you like it closer to pouch consistency, use a cup of water in my experience.

Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef #10 Can
This is my favorite dehydrated chilli of the few I have tested. I opened the can and used over a couple weeks with no issue. I did leave the dry packet in the can and keep the plastic cover on it. The fact that a plastic cover comes with the can implies this product can be opened and resealed for future use. No idea how long an open can will last but a couple weeks was not an issue.Making smaller meals from the can was not difficult. I boiled the same amount of water as the size of the mix. I did 1 cup of mix and added 1 cup of boiling water. I sealed in a bowl using tin foil and it came out perfect.Recommend the can if you can get it cheaper than the pouch. Note the pouch is two servings and the can is 10 servings or equivalent to 5 pouches.Oddly, the larger size can is usually a little more expensive than ordering the same quantity in the smaller pouches. And the pouches last longer since they stayed sealed.

Supplement family protein
This diced chicken is an affordable supplement to family groceries. It is on my shelves to help in case of winter storms, wildfire, or store shortages. You can add it to stews and soups and chili. Try it!

Now this is just like the package reads.our family lived it

I add this to my spaghetti dry camping meal. Works great for more of a meaty taste/texture to the meal. I do soak it longer than what the instruction recommends. I find that most of these freeze dried foods require longer soaking time to avoid chewy texture.

This Mountain House Beef Stroganoff is one of the best-tasting freeze-dried meals I’ve tried. The flavour is rich, the noodles rehydrate perfectly, and it feels like a real meal — not typical survival food. Super easy to make, just add hot water and wait a few minutes. The #10 can size is great for stocking up or family camping trips — reliable, tasty, and long-lasting.
