This one got rave reviews from our taste testers — one guy said, “Tastes like real food!” I can personally say it’s one of the best prepackaged trail meals I’ve tried. With roasted chicken and dumplings in a thick, savory gravy, it reminded me of something Grandma might make.


— BSA Boys' Life Magazine, October 2015

Craving comfort food on a chilly evening? Dig into this prep-in-the-bag meal, loaded with melt-in-your-mouth dumplings and crunchy cornbread croutons. The broth blends smoky mushrooms with sweet carrots and peas, and it's chockablock with bits of tender chicken.

frequently asked questions

Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
 

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.

    Re-hydration is very good. In fact this needs less water than suggested. Pouch calls for two cups and we cut it back to 1.5 cups. It comes out very thin and soup like with the full 2 cups. The flavor is good but a little bland. Needs pepper and and some other seasonings. A very good meal.

    We trialed this at home and while the flavour was great, we couldn't find anything resembling dumplings (in Canada dumplings are basically biscuits cooked in stew or broth). Will order again, but will make real dumplings to accompany.

      We trialed this at home and while the flavour was great, we couldn't find anything resembling dumplings (in Canada dumplings are basically biscuits cooked in stew or broth). Will order again, but will make real dumplings to accompany.

    This one got rave reviews from our taste testers — one guy said, “Tastes like real food!” I can personally say it’s one of the best prepackaged trail meals I’ve tried. With roasted chicken and dumplings in a thick, savory gravy, it reminded me of something Grandma might make.


    — BSA Boys' Life Magazine, October 2015

    Craving comfort food on a chilly evening? Dig into this prep-in-the-bag meal, loaded with melt-in-your-mouth dumplings and crunchy cornbread croutons. The broth blends smoky mushrooms with sweet carrots and peas, and it's chockablock with bits of tender chicken.

    frequently asked questions

    Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
     

    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.

      Re-hydration is very good. In fact this needs less water than suggested. Pouch calls for two cups and we cut it back to 1.5 cups. It comes out very thin and soup like with the full 2 cups. The flavor is good but a little bland. Needs pepper and and some other seasonings. A very good meal.
