Mountain House Beef Stew is a freeze dried pouch meal: diced beef, potatoes, peas and carrots in a seasoned beef broth. One pouch holds 2 servings.

What it's for

A hot meal for backpacking, camping or ski touring trips where you can boil water but do not want to cook or wash dishes. Mountain House also sells its pouches as pantry and emergency food.

How it works

Preparation: Add water straight into the pouch. Mountain House states the meal is ready in less than 10 minutes. You eat from the pouch, so there is no pot or bowl to wash. The water amount is printed on the pouch.
