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.

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.

Made one good sized serving that I used to fill 2 tortillas I brought along. I ate this for lunch while I stopped midday. The directions say you can use hot or cold water. I opted to fire up my little alcohol stove and heat up some water. I had a cup of tea to go with it. Preparation: Just add water and mix up right in the cook-in-bag meals. It's super easy and there are no dishes to clean. The burger took the full 15 minutes to get soft. Comes with ketchup, mustard, sweat relish and mayo packets that I just squeezed over the top of the burger laid down the center of the tortilla. The directions recommend mixing them with the burger but this was easier. For me two medium sized burritos was a satisfying lunch. Taste: They did taste like a spicy, crumbly, burger, burrito thing. The condiments actually made it feel more like a burger. Next time I will bring some cheese and let it melt on top of the hot burger.

This came in a one-serving package so there was no need to repackage it. I ate it for a late dinner at the Chevelon Creek trail head. The burger can be rehydrated with cool or hot water, or cooked in a pot over low heat for 3-5 minutes. I opted for the last option since it was late, and I was hungry. The burger and additives rehydrated nicely using a quarter ounce of fuel in a Caldera Cone/AntiGravityGear stove system fitted for an 1100 ml (37 oz) titanium pot. There were a just a few bits of crunch here and there, but this did not affect the taste. The taste was spicier than I like for a burger - a peppery (black pepper) taste I believe. I like spicy food, but wanted something blander in a burger. With that said, the flavor was full and rich. I used the prep mat that I'd requested since adding the condiments to the burger got messy. I added all the condiments (mustard, mayo, ketchup, and pickle relish) and burger to a tortilla. It truly was a satisfying meal. Although the directions specify there are two wraps worth, I was able to stuff almost all of it into one 8 in (20 cm) tortilla. Two tortillas would have made the meal even more filling. I don't think the burger would have been substantial enough for me if I'd eaten it without the tortilla. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

Made it per instructions and had to add another 2 tablespoons of water. After that we filled 2 burrito wraps, added some sharp cheddar with condiments and really enjoyed it. I just ordered more for an upcoming trip. Very superior to anything that I've found in the "all in one" bag meals.

Made two big tortillas full of burger and extras...I had some extra avocado to add to mine. Very satisfying.

I tried this after two days of paddling the south fork of the Shenandoah. I have a hietal hernia and spicey, "texmex" is off my menu. That said, this is exactly what I found this "burger" to be. While the quality was good the taste was much more akin to a spicey taco than to a burger or cheese burger. The idea is sound but the execution left a bit to be desired I am afraid.

This was really good although the name is misleading. The meat is more akin to taco meat, with pieces of onion and a spicy sauce. Instead of having them as burgers, I opted to mix up some cheese sauce powder and added green chili salsa(both also from packit gourmet). I ended up with two good sized burritos that tasted great.

This is one yummy meal. My brother and I enjoyed the All American Burger Wrap (actually, we had two) after a long day hiking in the Ochoco Mountains in Central Oregon. We were pretty hungry after a long day hiking on and off trail, and this meal really hit the spot. We both had "the works" to go along with the burger, and it all tasted like a real hamburger. This meal will definitely be a regular in my pack from now on. Oh, and one other thing for multi day backpackers who might end up having to (planned or otherwise) spend the night at a dry camp, this meal only takes 1.5 oz of water. Helpful if water is at a premium.

Bought a few items to try prior to my first big backpack trip and was really surprised when the "burger" was done, how DARN TASTY it was. I can just imagine heating it up again around a fire with friends. CAN'T WAIT!!

I have had this a few times now and it has become a staple for my wife and I. We usually skip the fixings, add taco seasoning (about a quarter package), cheese and hot sauce to have some great soft tacos! If you haven't tried this yet, you need to!
