Take them out of the package, put them into a ziploc and you can save an ounce or two. Put some olive oil in the finished product and you have a decent one person meal. Throw in some shredded beef jerky to add a little something more.

We had the beef stroganoff on this trip and loved it.

Agreed on the apple crisp. I was underwhelmed.

Beef stroganoff is good, surprisingly the Chili Mac is good too.

The hash brown idea is a good one.

JetBoil (or the MSR version) is on my list of things to buy

The spaghetti with sauce, but then add a little extra pasta from home.

Spaghetti

Lasagna with meat sauce for dinner is probably my first choice.

I'll post some photos of my backpacking trip when I get home tonight.

I have tried the other brands and so far

Same. Some of the others are downright nasty.

Mountain House makes me want to barf. I've just eaten too much of it.

Do they have variety packs like you can get at costco?

Do you find that you can generally feed two people from one package?

Cachanilla83

7/13/17 3:08pm

No, definitely not. I'm usually still a little hungry after eating the whole package that says it's 2 servings.

jdub

7/13/17 3:11pm

Right, especially after a long day of backpacking. You need two packets for two

The weight of the ramen is nice, but I just can't bring myself to eat it plain anymore.

This is a really good thread to favorite because it has some excellent backpacking food recommendations

jdub

It's barely a meal for one

My response above was to use the spaghetti one, but add some pasta. This works
