I tried this new MT House Biscuit/Gravy with sausage crumbles entree on my last river camping trip.
Enjoy the MRE for field and camping breakfast, so I wanted to try this meal for a future hiking trip
- bag
Opened the bag and looks like croutons
- opened
It called for 1 3/4 cup of water for normal and 1 1/2 cup for thicker
So I used 1 1/2 and let it sit for 12 minutes
Took a taste and thought it was in somewhat bland, so I remembered this packet
- Russian Pepper
Russian pepper, found it was a very strong blend. You could smell it the second the pack was open
- dense thick black pepper great smell
This greatly improved the flavor
- prepared
The pork crumbles texture after about 15 total time was close to MRE pork patty after re- hydration, the biscuits texture were soft enough that I need to add the Russian hard crackers for added texture. The pork flavor was a cross between precooked Jimmy Dean link sausage and the old pork patty. The gravy was close to typical canned or gravy from a jar. Tabasco or strong pepper is needed to make it close to kitchen flavor the gravy was creamy and you could taste the sausage bits. Also this could be used with the MRE snack bread or over MRE Hash browns and bacon for varity and more calories This meal fills you up fairly quick, combined witha hot drink and some sort granola or fruit and nut bar bar you would be full for hours. Or at least until 10.00 am
For hiking or a time when you want to keep weight down this is a good breakfast.
