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.

OK, this one just went to the top of my list...the chili was good by itself, but add all the fixin's and Whoo, Buddy! That's some good eats!

Been watching Shug's YouTube vids for about a year now. Seems this was his goto dinner thought I'd give it a shot..... Bam! It was outstanding and I will be keeping high in my trip menu plans from now on.

I've had chili before but not quite like this. Great taste, easy preparation, nice touch with the extra cheese and corn chip condiments. I'm adding this one to my list of preferred meals. Very tasty. Make sure to use a cozy in the preparation.

Loads of flavor, a bit high on the salt, but overall a great meal to have after a long day on the trail. Prep was super easy and obviously there was zero cleanup. Nice job guys!

Cooked this up on a nice winter hike over the week-end. Boy howdy - that's good! I don't think I can make chili that tasty. Nice job guys.

Took this meal to the BWCA. The serving size was perfect for one person. This meal was delicious especially with the included hot sauce and chips/cheese packet. I will take this again.

This meal was excellent!
-
This was great! Probably the easiest meal on the site to prepare and tasted like it should, especially considering its a freeze dried meal. My one suggestion would be less beans and more tomatoes. Also found that I needed to add more water than suggested.
