Pros & Cons
Pros
Some people think it looks like dog kibble and it does, but once water is added and it's heated it tastes enough like hamburger that you forget about the kibble thing. Beef has 22 servings with 220 cal/ serving. Used for everything that takes ground b... Read More
For the prepper or survivalist in the family. Highly recommend. Good to have on hand for emergencies.
Definitely top 3 eventhough pricey. It is very expensive, but you are paying for the convenience and long-term-shelf-life.
Great for camping and backpacking. Made a yummy freezer bag meal with dehydrated veggies and mashed potatoes. While freeze dried products are a bit expensive, buying 10# cans of freeze dried foods is much more affordable.
Cons
Looks like ground beef, but tastes like cheap morning sausages. Auguson farm's website states that the product is not good to use if the cans are dented. Texture is like the pellets in dry pet food.
Highlights
Quality
I really like this product cause its shelf stable, not taking up my limited freezer room and i can portion out just the right amount.
Great taste and ready to use quickly.
This winter we lost power for several days, i had a can left after last summer so decided to throw several cups in with some to... Read More
Pour my meal in, add water and a hour later i have a piping hot rehydrated meal for 2.
Price
I think it’s cost effective since there's so much ground beef in a can.
For the amount of beef protein you get, which is my main regular protein, this can is a very good value and i'm glad i purchased it.
I open the #10 can of meat after only 13 month (march 2021) and the oven price meat was bad.
I bought this item at a sale price.
Shipping
Have not tried them yet, but it was shipped fast, and i checked all cans, good to 2053.
Buy from these folks, not readywise -- they shipped me short-dated stuff and refused to take it back (even though readywise say... Read More
Shipping was pretty fast and the price seems to fit the product.
Packaging/appearance
I sample everything i package and was very pleased with this ground beef!
However, it would be much better if packaged in 3 or 4 pouches or smaller cans to insure freshness, so you don't have to eat th... Read More
Just follow the proper storing and date rotation recommendations and follow the preparation instructions on the can or package ... Read More
Competitiveness
I use mountain house cooked ground beef to add into many foods - like soups and casseroles to make them better.
I get a lot of #10 cans and repackage them into mylar bags with oxygen absorbers to portion out better.
I have tried other camping foods, won't mention any other brands but mountain house foods are the best by far.
In numerous taste test videos, mountain house came in 2nd above other brands
