[UPDATE: This review refers to the Beef Patties with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes entree, which is what this product listing was reserved for when the review was originally posted. See comments for how to find that entree now. -Chris S.]Do you want to store food at home that, along with a means of boiling water, could get you easily through an emergency (such as a hurricane, a power outage, or a week isolated at home with the flu)? Do you have family members of the old meat-and-potatoes type who can't imagine being satisfied with canned or freeze-dried entrees? Then this dish is for you.

Just saying it'd be nice to see some green in there.) |
