What I love about this meal so much other than the chili is just fantastic, is that it comes with some toppings, so you get some corn chips, some sprinkle cheese and some TX Pete Hot Sauce.
It really is nice just to have so much flavor on trail, and then to be able to add those toppings and stuff … I think this one is the closest meal I’ve had to like a real meal in town, but while backpacking.

The bane of some camping food: lack of texture. The bane of most: lack of flavor. This stewy meal ups the ante on both. The base is a meaty, tomato-based broth packed with as much flavor as the Lone Star State itself. But the proverbial icing on the cake? Included toppings of crushed Frito-style corn chips, shredded cheese and a packet of Texas Pete Hot Sauce that will warm your insides on a cold night.

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.

Me and my son had this meal on a 6 day backpacking trip to Isle Royale. It was awesome. I gave some to one of the other guys in our group and they were sold. Waayyyyy better than mountain house and didn't bother my stomach at all. Packet Gourmet is well worth the extra dollar or two to have a good meal. IMHO.

I bought two of these - one to try and one to have on the trail in a couple weeks. My 8-year-old daughter and I loved it so much we ate the second one a week later. I bought 3 more.

First time I tried this Fair Chili and like all other PG items this choice was fantastic. Didn't seem like a freeze dried meal at all. Sitting on a rock at sunset, with my feet in a mountain lake, and all this Fair Chili jammed into a tortilla. Can't ask for anything better. This is one of my new favorites.

I just ate one which was 6 months beyond its best by date and it was great. There is no difference between eating this and going to a restaurant for a great bowl of chili.
