MOUNTAIN ESSENTIALS Freeze-Dried Ground Beef – Pre-Cooked and Ready-to-Eat Hamburger Meat | Everyday Meal Prep, Emergency Food Supply, Camping and Survival Food | 10 Servings per Pouch | Made in USA | 7-Year Shelf Life | Pack of 1

I rehydrated and used it in a cassarole. Has a funky "off" taste. I may try and dehydrate my own but if it tastes like this one, I will just stay with my pressure canned ground beef which is really good.

This is the second time I’ve tried the ground beef in the pouch. Both were burnt to a crisp and rock hard. With some imagination it kind of tasted like hamburger, but was closer to charcoal than beef. I’ve bought several of the large cans over the last few years and they were all great. Obviously they way overcooked one or more batches and instead of throwing it away, sold it to unsuspecting customers. Recent change in management? I will never be a customer again.
