Mountain House Biscuits & Gravy | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings

Tastes like it is fresh out of the kitchen. Easy to make. Perfect to carry camping. Great value especially when better than making in the wilderness. Fills you up for a full morning.

Of all the meals, I think this is my favorite. I actually looked forward to breakfast because I enjoyed this one the most.

After many years of seeing these freezdried meals I decided to finally test one out on a recent camping trip. Impressions : 1. The packaging is a little bulkier than what you could carry/pack yourself if you are trying to space save while backpacking, may be worth repacking into ziploc if planning to use within a day or so. 2. Preparation: boiling water was easy. while I stirred thoroughly, It did not fully mix and I ended up with some “undercooked” bits at the bottom. Make sure you stir well in bottom creases of bag. 3. Taste and portion was pretty good for one person and I felt satisfied. Although some of the sausage chunks were a bit hard/underhydrated even though I followed the directions on the bag. I’d recommend pouring the entire contents of the bag into your boiling water pot and keep heating for a minute or so before pouring back into original bag to finish soaking, to help fully cook through. Or repack in ziploc and just cook as desired in your camp pot if you don’t mind cleaning it afterwards. Overall though it met expectations and was easier and better than what I could make on my own in the backcountry, although they are a bit expensive.

Very good. Great flavor, of course, not as good as homemade, but these work great as a camping meal. I enjoy several of the Mountain House meals, they never disappoint.

Love Mountain House biscuits and gravy. Usual great quality. Can't beat it with a hot cup of coffee. Unfortunately the price has gone up and I won't be buying it as often.

Most mountain house meals have a roughly 30yr shelf life. If your backpacking or just want to keep some food back in case of emergencies these are a buy and forget item. They taste good years after purchase. They are high in sodium tho.

Taste good and great for an emergency.

OK you have to put this food in context. It is camping, hiking, backpacking, survival food. With that being said I am giving it a three star rating and here’s the reasons why. First of all the flavor is OK, satisfying but not the greatest unless you’re really hungry and then it would be fantastic. The texture is another story the biscuit chunks are like eating Biscuit croutons that are pretty crunchy even after waiting 15 minutes for the hot water to do its thing. The so-called sausage bites were like little pieces of rubber coated balls with salt. They were very salty and very chewy. Here’s my final opinions on the mountain house biscuits and gravy. If you’re in a survival mode or mood or situation the meal is great for nourishment. If you’re looking for a fast breakfast at home I’d stay away from it and stick to either instant oatmeal or eggs and toast and hashbrowns. These are meant for survival and the outdoors not meant for every day consumption as far as flavor and texture goes.
