This meal has a really good flavor and it’s just something a little different — I mean, who eats something like this on trail?

A very easy meal indeed – one pot style and doesn’t need a lot of water... Nice mild spicy hint underneath and very creamy.

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.

Easy, tasty, extra compact and light. Well worth becoming a breakfast staple. Next time I would add less water to start as it was very soupy, and add more as needed. The sausage was a must. I think it would have been quite bland without. I was still a bit hungry after but it was a cold night and that always stirs the apatite. In better weather I think it would have been plenty.

Stove used: alcohol stove My breakfast of choice on the trail has long been oatmeal. It sticks with me, is easy to cook, and is even easier to carry. On a long 9 mile ( km) hike along the LoneStar Trail, I stopped and cooked up the Creamy Italian Polenta with Sausage for breakfast. It was pretty easy and all I had to do was heat water with my alcohol stove, bring the water to a boil, then mix in the polenta and sausage. When it had cooked for a few minutes I pulled the polenta off the heat, added some parmesan cheese, and waited for things to cool off. The wait was more than worth it. I was starving after hiking for about two miles ( km) and the Polenta was tasty. It had a great texture and most importantly it filled me up. It was just enough for a hot breakfast or lunch, but not enough for a dinner. While I am not a grits fan, this polenta was pretty close to what I consider grits and I would eat it again. In fact, I am pretty sure that I have found something to alternate with my oatmeal while planning trail breakfasts. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

I must have received the bad batch of polenta. I was really looking forward to it, but the amount of salt in the meal was nearly enough to gag me. Really! I could only eat two spoonsful of the polenta before having to dump it out. I *may* order it once more, just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.

My backcountry partner and I gave this a 'test drive' in Glacier NP this past weekend -- fantastic. Very easy to prep, tasty and filling enough to power us up the trail. We'll definitely be ordering more for breakfast and dinner on our backpacks.

Outstanding! Creamy, filling, tasty, everything you want for breakfast. Could not be easier to make. I ordered the versions with sausage which I thought brought a lot of flavor to the table.

I decided to try this polenta on a chilly winter morning in Colorado. I woke up and was excited to try this meal out. I got it all made and it tasted pretty good, every mouthfull was creamy, garlicy, ans cheesey. The only problem was that it was really strong, after about 10 or so bites i coud not eat it anymore. So i just just finished off my tea and was out of there
