They never go bad, take up little space in my trailer, and are very easy to use. One thing I found out is if you shake the bag before adding water, everything is evenly distributed in the bag. Review: Nice for travel, expensive as backup food - This was fine. Super tasty? No, but 4 outta 5. Takes time to cook, like 20 minutes overall, and don't rush it or you will get some crunchy noddles. Everything works in packet, and there was plenty of sauce to maybe add to some other dish - if you like. Not a cheap product overall, but for an easy travel meal that just needs water, its nice. ## Features - DELICIOUS MEAL! Macaroni noodles in a smooth, creamy, and very cheesy sauce. Freeze-dried to lock in nutrients and freshness. No refrigeration needed. - NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVE OR FLAVORS - Made with no artificial preservatives or flavors.

They never go bad, take up little space in my trailer, and are very easy to use. One thing I found out is if you shake the bag before adding water, everything is evenly distributed in the bag. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice for travel, expensive as backup food *by R***E on February 10, 2026* This was fine. Super tasty? No, but 4 outta 5. Takes time to cook, like 20 minutes overall, and don't rush it or you will get some crunchy noddles. Everything works in packet, and there was plenty of sauce to maybe add to some other dish - if you like. Not a cheap product overall, but for an easy travel meal that just needs water, its nice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty. Noodles al dente. *by R***N on March 14, 2023* I thought this was decent. It filled me up and the noodles were still just a touch crunchy, but good food on the trail. This was my first try at home. Made me want a little salt, which made me think I should have spices in my bug-out bag. My bf did not think it needed salt. He like it, said he would eat it gladly on the trail. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mountain House Creamy Macaroni & Cheese | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings - Mountain House Beef Stroganoff with Noodles | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings - Mountain House Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2-Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/183241488-mountain-house-backpacking-and-camping-food-2-servings](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/183241488-mountain-house-backpacking-and-camping-food-2-servings) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
