Freeze-dried spaghetti pasta, ground beef, and tomato meat sauce in a Mylar zip pouch. Add 1.75 cups boiling water, stir, seal, wait 9 minutes — pasta dinner in the bag. 2 servings, around 510 calories total. The tomato sauce hits properly Italian after rehydration, not the sad-pasta dorm-meal feel.
The crowd-pleaser trail meal. Used by family campers because kids actually eat it, by AT thru-hikers tired of beef-and-rice, by hunting camps, and by emergency-prep stockers. Pouches stack flat in a pack with a tested 30-year shelf life.
Mountain House is freeze-dried in Albany, Oregon by Oregon Freeze Dry — operating since 1963.
