Italian Beef Marinara

The Best

On night six of a seven-day backcountry trip in the Sawtooths we had the NM Italian Style Beef Marinara. We always save the best for last! What makes Next Mile Meal different than all the rest is the amount of beef in their meals. No one else is close. Great taste and very satisfying.

Tasty but way salty!

Thank you for creating lower carb freeze dried meals. They are extremely difficult to find. One issue we had was the excessive sodium (1890 mg!). Looking forward to trying some of your other meals soon.

My favorite meal! Clean tasting and filling. Brought two of these on an 8 night remote float in Alaska.

Top quality

Recently returned from an 8 night float fishing trip in Alaska. Had a couple of Chicken and Broccoli Casserole meals. They were great quality, tasted great and clean. My new favorite backpacking meals.

Tastes Great-

On a 12 day self supported bike ride. These meals tasted great and were a welcome change from some of the other brands. We have done 20 trips like this and Next Mile meals are definitely going to be going on the next trip with us.

So yummy

This was one of the best camping meals I’ve ever had! Finding something that didn’t have any grains was so nice. I highly recommend.

It was good!

The flavors of all the food is on point. If only I was good at rehydrating the food it would be amazing!

Pretty Bad

Calories are calories but this wasn’t nice to eat. Prepared as directed and my chicken was still crunchy so I let it sit a few more minutes and unfortunately it didn’t get any better. Flavor was decent. Gagged it down because I needed the calories but nothing about it was pleasant. Very disappointed because of the number of positive reviews I had come across.

Cheesy Beef Marinara

Mine had a ton of mozzarella in it. Beef rehydrated well and was well seasoned. Excellent!

Disappointing

This was very watery after adding the suggested water amount and it didn’t have much flavor.

Not good.

Bought 5 days worth of camping food. Barely ate any of it. Every time I did it made me have diarrhea. Not good won’t order any more, very unhappy

Expired

The meal was okay except both condiment packets, mayo and mustard, had expired dates of July 2025. Since I just purchased the meals in May 2026, having condiments that have expired is unacceptable. This is the second time I have purchased NMM and it might be the last.

Sausage Scramble

A delicious meal.

This is a very good meal after hiking long days on any trail. I find I have to let this cook a little longer in that altitude of the AT but other than that, this is great!

Soupy

Adding the amount of water recommended resulted in a soupier finished product than I would have liked and somewhat under reconstituted chicken. Lots of chicken pieces but could be it could be spicer. Still tasted great...

Good, and filling

The product was good. Re-hydrates well; make sure you mix it well and use just a bit less water than recommended. I appreciate the low-carb option. I will look forward to eating this on the trail.

Amazing meal by itself or with a tortilla!

I love all the Next Mile Meals, but this one is my favorite to have as a lunch on the trail. It’s great by itself, but also great to make into a buffalo chicken wrap.
