Really good. Needed more seasoning added, but very palatable. Letting sit extra time helped ensure all meat was well hydrated.

Not just for hikers

I found Next Mile Meals when I searched for low-carb prepared meals for a family member who is transitioning to low-carb, and works 10-hour days. He tells me that they are good, and he is using them. In my search, I also noted that Next Mile provides meal packs that are not only truly low-carb, but they include only known, recognizable ingredients, and nothing objectionable. I look forward to the opportunity to try them myself.

Something Change, not as good as it used to be

I bought this early on when they first showed up on GGG and enjoyed it. This time, not so much. The flavor is gone, not sure why.

Best breakfast on the planet for backpacking

The best flavor

Coconut Chicken Curry

Sorry, not so good. Rubber chicken and flavorless 'curry'.

Did not cook well

I followed the directions, ended up doubling the time and some of the chicken was still crunchy.

Better than most

I have eaten many sausage and egg backpacking meals- this one is definitely one of my favorite. I have had some issues here and there where the cheese doesn’t melt and or clumps up. I typically let the bag rehydrate longer than is directed otherwise the eggs don’t fully rehydrate and you can get a crunchy core. Overall though the flavor is top notch, quality is very high and the amount always fills me up. I periodically add black pepper to mine but that is my preference and really is not necessary. I do recommend this brand to others particularly if you have dietary restrictions as they offer a relatively clean and as healthy as can be meal for backpacking eggs/suasage.

Yum

Easy to make, I love that these were single servings and didn't take a whole lot of water right? Cook time was reasonable and boy. Were there yummy?
Can't wait to get the beef flavors back in. Let me know you have a customer for life oh yeah, and those bags are totally reusable. I love that

Good , but needs more flavor.

I was really excited to try the Coconut Chicken Curry because curry is a favorite of mine. I was disappointed because it seemed to lack flavor. I tend to like spicy curry though so if you don’t like spice this may be just right for you. The chicken doesn’t seem to hydrate fully but I seem to have that issue with all freeze dried meals.

Good

Jambalaya was good, hydrated quickly. Enjoyed on the trail.

Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Loved it

Easy to make clear directions. It's a wonderful meal.Can't wait until you get the beef in

Tasty

Love the flavor. Very enjoyable. My only gripe is the chicken meat doesn't re-hydrate well. Using boiling water, with the pouch inside an insulated bag, after 20 minutes the meat was still somewhat tough. Still like this one though.

Tough chicken

I used the correct amount of water and let it rehydrate more than enough time and the chicken didn’t get tender.

Excellent

Delicious. I loved it. Works good in a tortilla or with rice to add some carbs and cals. Happy hiking!

Excellent

Great meals when on the go. I’ll be having these on my August JMT thru hike. I was in the military for a few years and have eaten many MRE’s and always had the other popular brands, but these are really next level. Highly recommended.

The worst taste and texture

This had the worst taste and texture of any backpacking meal I’ve ever tried. I will not be purchasing any more of these.

Good but a little dry

Tried a few meals and put the recommended amount of water and the chicken stays a little dry and crunchy add an extra oz or two for best results

Frustrating to fill this out from the email. It goes blank half-way through.

Anyway...the directions on the package say to cover with water but not submerge. That worked for other meals but this one floated in the water and I couldn't tell when it was "covered". Note: I had no measuring device so I was winging it. The result was breakfast soup which tasted ok but not what ya'll intended, I'm sure.
