For a dehydrated take on cajun food this was pretty good, complete with dehydrated okra.

Beef Stroganoff is not one of those entrees I actively seek out in normal day to day life, but this entree was pretty good. The main issue I have with it is that the example I tried had the wrong preparation instructions on it (which Alpine Air puts on with a seperate sticker, so perhaps my experience was isolated). My instructions were for some sort of stroganoff with potatoes, rather than with noodles. Not a big deal except that the incorrect instructions required the use of two seperate pots to cook, which would have been problematic for me. The stroganoff with noodles is a single pot affair.

This has a nice level of heat and spiciness, and is a good choice if you want a bit of southwestern cuisine to provide some variety.

If you like your chili to be the con carne variety, however, you might want to try something else, like the Alpine Air Tamale Pie with Beef, as the omission of meat is notable to the palate. That said, this meal has a nice level of spice and heat (though some might want to add more heat) and is rather tasty, if you don't mind the absence of beef.
