\n

I had wondered when I would pass paying $20.00 for a backpacking freeze-dried meal.<\/p>\n

Well\u2026..<\/p>\n

We went way past that, all the way to $28.00.<\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

$28.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

But let us talk about this, though. And how it might be worth it. Well, mostly worth it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We picked up a Luxefly Basecamp Filet Mignon Beef Stroganoff meal,<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and yes, it was $28.00. Much of the cost is the beef it contains \u2013 actual large pieces of filet mignon. You are not buying a cheap hamburger that has pea or soy protein added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is a 1-serving bag: 610 calories, 39 grams of protein, and 940 mg of sodium.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The filet is ample in size.<\/p>\n

I added the full amount of water called for (8 to 12 ounces) and found it worked perfectly. They say 5 minutes, I tested it at 5 and went for 10 minutes. In cold weather or at a higher altitude, you might need 15 minutes. As always, results will vary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The finished meal.<\/p>\n

It is a lot of food. A lot of meat and mushrooms. Delicious. It is NOT salty or pasty (like a certain \u201cclassic\u201d with the initials of the MH version is \u2013 where a smaller serving size has more than 600 mg of extra sodium).<\/p>\n

The ingredient list is clean: Organic Cremini and Shiitake mushrooms, organic sour cream, organic beef stock (contains onions, leeks, tomatoes, carrots, celery), organic egg noodles (contains wheat, eggs), Rbst-free butter (contains milk solids), fresh organic thyme, Pinot Grigio white wine, and grass-fed filet mignon beef.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is a satisfying dish. Meat is not cheap these days, particularly if you buy grass-fed.<\/p>\n

Look at this meal as an indulgent treat. It is well worth it<\/p>\n

But unless you are rolling in the cash, it\u2019s probably a once-a-summer treat.<\/p>\n
