However, after a chilly pre-dawn camping trip when I could see my breath, I decided to give it a try, and the smell of cooking peppers and hash browns wafting from that tiny pouch actually surprised me. This meal comes with eggs, sausage, peppers, and shredded potatoes, all freeze-dried for easy preparation and convenience. To make it, all I did was boil some water in my portable stove and pour it in the pouch. After waiting about 10 minutes, it was all ready to eat. Although it costs a bit more than a granola bar, the under-$10 price feels fair for the quality and simplicity it provides, especially when you’re miles away from a kitchen. I expected something rubbery or bland, but the potatoes had texture, the sausage had a smoky flavor, and it was surprisingly filling. It’s also gluten-free, which doesn’t necessarily affect me, but it is good for those whose diets adhere to it. I loved how light, easy, and genuinely tasty it was, though it is slightly salty and requires boiling water since there’s no cold prep option. Overall, I’d give the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet a solid 5 out of 5 stars and would definitely purchase it again. It’s perfect for campers, hikers, or even an emergency food supply-if you want a hot, homemade-style breakfast in the wilderness, this one delivers. Review: Tip-top! - When I was in college, I, “accidentally” found my way into an old Cold War bomb shelter. There were lots of freeze dried meals, so I liberated a few, being a poor college student. After eating a couple of them, I decided that it would actually be better to die in a nuclear holocaust than to have to survive on those things. fast forward to 2025. I’ve tried a whole bunch of camping meals by many different manufacturers and they all have left me wanting for a variety of reasons. Either the food was bland or it was just disgusting or the packaging was bad. I heard that this brand was supposed to be really good. A friend of mine who is a nurse sent me a text message one night saying that she was hungry but the cafeteria was closed and nobody would deliver food that late. I sent her four of these meals, all different, and suggested that she keep one in her bag and one in her car for just such an occasion. She told me that they were delicious. I bought a bunch of them for myself and I have to agree. These meals are wayyyyy better than anything I’ve ever tried. They have great flavor, great texture and are substantial in size. The packaging is awesome. It is thick, heavy material with a zip lock that really holds in the moisture. This is important for two reasons. I add the hot water, seal the bag and let it sit for five minutes and then I turn it over upside down for another five minutes so that the remaining water drains down to the top of the bag and hydrates everything up there. I have yet to have a single drop leak out. Really a great value for the money at 10 bucks. I keep them around for those situations where I’m working at 2 o’clock in the morning and I am really hungry, but don’t want to take the time to make food. I can get a great meal in 10 minutes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084P843NK | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Brand | Mountain House | | Brand Name | Mountain House | | Cuisine | Western | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,491 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00041133554510 | | Item Weight | 3.7 Ounces | | Item weight | 3.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | SATOHA | | Model Number | 55451 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Number of pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 55451 | | UPC | 041133554510 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mountain House - **Cuisine:** Western - **Item weight:** 3.7 Ounces - **Number of items:** 1 - **Number of pieces:** 1 ## Images ![Breakfast Skillet | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | Survival & Emergency Food - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sG8jVasmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the new version of MH breakfast skillet any good? I see lots of older good reviews and now most of the newer reviews are very negative** A: I actually tried this recently and it is good. There are more eggs than anything. The look is similar to moist scrambled eggs and the taste is good. It won’t be like fresh scrambled eggs, but not bad for a product that can last 30 years. And from what I’ve read, freeze dried is better than dehydrated when looking at long shelf life and nutrition retention. I don’t think you would regret buying this product. **Q: L does it have spicy flavoring or dull bland and boring taste?** A: I am not sure I would call it bland and boring, but it's not spicy. However, look for the Mountain House meal called Spicy Southwest Style Skillet, it might be what you are looking for. Thanks for your interest! Jim **Q: What’s the date on the pouches?** A: The date on the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet pouches I'm selling is December 2049. The shelf life is approximately 30 years. **Q: what is the differance between 1 pouch and 1 pack?** A: The standard pouch has two 260-calorie servings, the Pro-Pak is meant to be 1 large serving for someone who is working hard and is 450 calories. Thanks for your interest!

It’s great for camping. I bought the 2 serving one, but I split the amount in half and used the 2nd half the next day. It says to cook in the package, but I just used a pot with lid. It is pretty expensive for one or two meals. But when you need protein and are tired of protein bars, it does the job. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mountain House Breakfast Skillet | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings | Gluten-Free - Mountain House Beef Stroganoff with Noodles | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings - Mountain House Biscuits & Gravy | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/722349811-breakfast-skillet-freeze-dried-backpacking-and-camping-food-survival-emergency](https://www.desertcart.us/products/722349811-breakfast-skillet-freeze-dried-backpacking-and-camping-food-survival-emergency) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
