I really like this one. It's got a great chilli flavor to it, and the macaroni adds bulk and energy. I would suggest adding a little less water than the instructions call for (about 1/4 cup less), but overall, a very good experience. I'll be buying more of this one!

Awful, the taste was terrible and the spices were strong.

Chile Mac is very flavorful. Noodles and beef crumbles were chewy even after leaving it 5 minutes longer than direction. When it says it is chile it is. With water amount on directions it is more like a thick soup. I would buy it again but it was not my favorite of the Mountain House meals.

Taste is good, but when buying in the bulk can and portioning, make sure that you heat for more than 10 minutes. Each time at 10 minutes it didn't reconstitute well. The ones in the bags are fine.

This was good needed some salt maybe some hot sauce would get this again.

Everything Mountain House makes is good, but the Chili Mac is my favorite. I take pouches camping and have cans of it at home. In the summer, when I don't feel like cooking, I make it for dinner. I AM A REAL CUSTOMER!

I love all the Mountain House meals but Chilli Mac is one of my favorites. i carry an extra C Mac on every hike in case I need an extra comfort meal. I keep a stock in the house too. Justin case

Very good for freeze dried food. Self contained pouch is handy

I like that I can leave it on the shelf for a while and make it at a later date.

The Adventure Meals Chili Mac with Beef was delicious. All their meals are designed to transport easily when on an Adventure! My last Adventure was to the Yosemity Park in California. No need for a bowl or plate, I appreciated the convenient pouch which is designed to eat right out of! It did not fail. The Adventure Meal, Chili Mac and Beef will remain a wonderful and delicious staple for all my future Adventures!
I personal know that this is some the nastiest stuff I've ever tasted.

I've been buying mountain house for 15 years. I backpack and hunt, so when I get back to camp it's great to just add hot water to a pouch and get a good tasting hot meal. Also the pouch are lightweight. Great for backpacking.

I try to stick with the Mountain brand. I like them the best.

I have been looking a various emergency food suppliers but, because I am a super picky eater, I like to try them out before investing a lot of money. This tasted great. I am super pleased with the flavor and texture and ease of preparation. I saw that the #10 can was sold out. I hope it comes back in stock. I am looking forward to trying the other flavors.
