Why wait until after the trip to get that burger you're craving? "This actually tastes like it came off the grill," says one tester. The meat is a little crumbly but not dry; wrap it in a tortilla (BYO) with ketchup, mayo, mustard and relish (included in separate packets, so yes, you can have it your way). Testers also really liked this company's deli-style Roast Beef Wrap.

frequently asked questions
We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

This is my son and eyes all time favorite meal while backpacking! Super easy to make. Cannot describe the flavors in enough words. It's a little early like eating a Burger off of the grill. We just bought more for an upcoming section hike. And it's very tempting to not eat it between now and then.

These are my fav dinner meal, very filling with tortilla. Makes 3 good size burger tortillas.

Pleasantly surprised at how much burger flavor this had. I’m from the Deep South and good food makes everything better, definitely hit the spot after a long day. Wish it would’ve came with two or more of each of the condiments but I will be sure to pack more next time. Kids even made me share mine

Love this meal! Packet Gourmet has taken trial food to a whole new level. It's not just something you eat because you have to. You actually look forward to eating this meal!

Tastes great and is easy to make. A backpacking food staple.
-
Really good! I was impressed with the flavor and texture of the freeze dried beef. The condiments are fun although I skipped the mustard. Ate this with three small flour tortillas; a fine dinner to have in your backpacking rotation.
-
This was really very good. Easy prep and very filling. I was very pleased, then looked at the Sodium content. OMG! Almost 60% of your daily intake in one meal. Heart Attack in a bag. Why do people need to enhance the taste of food with so much salt. I like the taste but not the health risk. I won't buy this again.

This was dinner for my first night on my week long section hike of the LT. This was just dinner for me so I made one med tortilla wrap with the condiments, but ate the rest right out of the bag. Quick to make with minimal water, very flavorful (lots of black pepper in that mix, which I like, but good for others to be aware of). I'd definitely eat this again, probably not bother with the tortilla.

This is one of my favs. I like it as a lunch, rehydrating with cool water in the morning in a small container. By lunchtime, it's ready to go! I just eat it out of the cup with ketchup, mustard & mayo. I like the way it is spiced...otherwise it might be boring. It's good with or without the cheese onion packet. I do swap out my condiment packets for a brand that does not have high fructose corn syrup when I find some at Panera or other restaurants.
