A little comfort food can make any foreign land feel more like home. Mountain House's Macaroni and Cheese for two is a vegetarian meal that boasts loads of calories for when you're really pounding the trail. It's a thick mix of creamy cheese with pasta to boost your carbs for the next day too.
Bottom Line: This is one trail meal you already know you're going to like.
Rather than write a small review for each individual item I recently purchased I thought I would share it all in one concise review. (Note with most Mountain House I add 2-3 oz less than it recommends)

Really filling for one person (I almost couldn't finish it) and pretty tasty. However, like others have stated, let it cook longer than it says if you don't like a few partially crunchy noodles.

Had this on a 3 day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada. It would've been great if the Macaroni had cooked all the way through, but I was left with macaroni that was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Totally edible, and better than a lot of other freeze dried meals I've had, but not amazing. I waited an extra 10 minutes trying to get the macaroni to fully hydrate, but to no avail. I'd be willing to try again and hope that it cooks the next time.
It's not bad, honestly, but it's a little watery so I'd say wait 5 minutes longer than what it says to cook it for. It's like Velvetta but not as cheesy...
I loved these so much while camping in the desert, with a jetboil there is no easier meal...besides granola of course. I like this mac n cheese so much that I sometimes sneak it while at home.
My daughter loved this entree! Very hearty! She was only able to eat 1/2 bag. I tasted it and thought it was very good. Needed to heat 12 minutes instead of 10 to thoroughly cook it, though.
This Mac 'n Cheese tastes much better than anything you can buy in the store. It is also extremely light and easy to prepare. I'll definitely be ordering this meal again!
This is the least favorite Mountain House meal for me and most of the rest of the group. It was decent because it is easy to make and clean up, but I would rather clean up Kraft M&C than eat this again. It did not taste too bad and we all ate it. Use a little less water than directed and the consistency will be better. If you are really hardcore, drink the cheese juice leftover. I was not that extreme and packed out the juice. The guys that drank the juice were the same rotten banana eaters of the AlpineAire granola.
This was really nice and you can get it done with 2 cups of boiled water. You leave it for 10 minutes at least, I recommend 15 for a full cook and the sauce mixes nicely. for a dehydrated food this was great and it did feed two!
