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.

This Chili is so close to fresh the difference is negligible. I was afraid to write a review for fear thousand of buyers will cause the product to go out of stock. Here's hoping PackitGourmet is not overwhelmed with orders. Compliments to the Chef is an understatement for a freeze dried product :)

Just placed my 3rd order for this chilli. It's a new tradition on our hiking and rafting trips to have chilli and margaritas! We are hooked :)
-
Unbelievable taste. I was not expecting much flavor but was happy. Cheese and hot sauce really gave it a kick
-
This is the best trail meal I have ever had so far. I could not believe how good it was. I never have too high of expectations for dehydrated trail meals but this one truly shocked me. I ordered several other meals from pack it gourmet but didn’t get a chance to try them because of injury on trail so looking forward to getting back on trail and trying my other packit gourmets on the trail.

As good as home-made chili. I will definitely buy it again! Good work!

Just tried the State Fair Chili and is was delicious! Fantastic flavor and great texture.

I took the Texas State Fair Chili with me on a 4-day backpacking & climbing trip to Como Lake in Colorado and I saved it for the evening after I climbed Blanca Peak. I knew I would need the 680 calories this meal packs in order to recuperate. This chili was absolutely delicious. The flavor and texture were right on the mark. Again, another meal by Packit Gourmet that had a lot of thought and love put into it.

I made it at home. It exceeded expectations. Great flavor, spiciness (customizable) and texture. It rehydrated very well. The crumbled fritos and cheese made it extra special. I'm packing one to take up to the Eastern Sierras this week. I'll probably pack this on every trip.

Excellent! I think this might be my favorite meal! I would actually just eat this at home-it was soo good.
