Desert High Chili Mac with Beef - 2.5 Servings by ReadyWise

I tried this with my better half, best way to get realistic appraisal since she will likely be eating it with me.

Prepping it was easy. Boiling water, adding it, stir it a bit and count the seconds (900 to 1,000 of them ), then dig in.

First bite told me it wasn’t hot enough out of the bag, but a little warming helped.

You NEED bread, or rice, or lots of water or something like it, as after several bites the high sodium chloride, salt taste, is pretty strong. Not intolerable but it was enough to make my wife say she’s willing to eat it if need be, but would rather have something not so strong.

I wasn’t as bothered by it, but by the end of a serving it was definitely time for something to take the edge off.

Will I use it? Yes, in a situation where I either have something to go back and forth between bites of it and something else, and yes as a matter of need, but it’s not going to be on my weekly menu.

It’s definitely tasty in smaller portions, and does have good spices added, but too much saltiness for regular consumption for me.
