There's nothing like a little comfort food after a long day of hiking. Mountain House's Freeze Dried Lasagna with Meat Sauce meal for one is just like mom used to make only it's lighter, tastier, and well, you have to make it on your own. It comes in a foil package that stands up on its own for easy eating and cooking.
Bottom Line: Because you can't bring mom on every backpacking trip.
closely followed by the Chili Mac. Which is funny since I am reading powder4breakfast's review below mine. either way you go, when it comes to freeze dried foods, you can't go wrong with Mountain House Lasagna.
The Lasagna with meat sauce has great flavor. It will fill most anyone. The one thing about it that i thought was strange at first is the cheese and how it sticks to your fork.

Definetly not mamas but 30 miles in the backcountry @ 36 degs was one hell of a warm meal!!! Better than I anticipated and a hit as bait with the Trout in GNP, which was another good meal in itself!!!.....Good Stuff!!!
The food tastes well and hides the taste of purification tablets. Only problem.... CHEESE! Be prepared for tons of cheese, not the best thing when you have limited toilet paper.....
This is probably my favorite dinner item (when it comes to freeze dried foods). It's very cheesy and tastes great. Easy to make, just add two cups boiling water and voila! you've got some Stouffers. It's not like mom used to make, but it's damn good for freeze dried food.
The lasagna was really good, it was a little bit soupy but that wasn't a problem for us. I am sure if you just let it sit a little longer and let some of the water evaporate it would be fine. The flavor was great though!!
This is one of my favorite meals from Mountain House. The new bigger size is great for a hungry man. I use 12 oz. of water rather then 14 to make it a little thicker. It truly is a great tasting meal and enough to fill you up after a hard day of hiking.
Unless you have your personal chef accompany you on your backpacking trips & prepare meals for you, this is a suitable replacement. The innovative packaging allows for more efficient packing. Food is the only thing in you pack that decreases in both size & weight. Now if they could only invent an edible container!
This doesn't taste like homemade Lasagna but it is ok. I don't add as much water as they recommend, about 2 ounces less, you can always add more if needed. Over 500 calories and 27 grams of protein from a single serving package.
I am not a huge fan of the freeze dried food my trips are ussually about four days at most so I can carry a little extra weight and get better food, however I always throw one of these in as an extra just in case meal, and sometimes they get eaten due to their convience, especially if I am tired from a long hike. I give this one five stars as it is the best freeze dried meal I have had in my opinion.
I ate two of these recently on Whitney. Tastes great! Only one issue with Mountain House - they recommend 14 oz. of water which, in my opinion, is WAY too much. Using that much produces lasagna soup. I used 8-9 oz., let it cook for approx. 14 minutes and it turned out perfectly! Just like you would make at home. One of my favorites - will definitely use again.
This lasagna slid down my throat. It was so freakin awesome feeling that STICKY cheese. I love this lasagna and am currently going out with it right now.
This meal is awesome! Though I highly recommend adding less water than recommended. Otherwise it gets real soupy. I'd rather have undercooked vs. overcooked pasta any day. This stuff is awesome after a long day of hiking. I do, however, question the serving sizes: I usually can finish a 2 serving meal all by myself without feeling stuffed.
I have to agree with other reviews, this meal tastes great! I think their must be a magic with pasta with red sauce, because the Mountain House brand has it mastered. I would recommend this as well as any pasta with red sauce by Mountain House.
It tasted good but there was something in it that gave me the worst intestinal gas pains ever! I was backpacking in Zion Park, ate this the night before, started hiking thru Hop Valley and started to hear a concert of sounds coming from my gut. Explosive diarrhea then hit about every 5 mins all along my all day hike. I typically like most Mtn House food but this one was horrific. I understand the culprit might be some kind of soy based noodle ingredient. I will never again eat this one .....ever! Hated it! Stay away .....
