Genuine Military MRE Meal with Inspection Date September 2017 or Newer (Chili Macaroni)

For a first MRE, the chili mac was pretty delicious! There isn’t much to complain about flavor wise and I enjoyed the experience :)

Honestly this was a great homage to the MREs many were issued and the taste was actually spot on for chili mac. It even had the jalapeno cheese spread!

The chili mac tastes good with slightly better texture than canned soups. Picture shows M&Ms as the dessert, but mine was lifesavers and a cookie. The lifesavers are good, more minty than what I'd find in a store. Kiddo (5) ran off with the cookie and apparently loved it. The cookie is gone and kid is drowsy from the large calorie load compared to her requirements.Personal serving suggestion is to throw the included Jalapeño cheese in the heater with your main for that nacho smell/texture and top your main with that and your crackers. The cracker texture improves the noodles and the crackers need something for flavor. There's red pepper flakes and salt for additional flavor if needed.Make sure to chew your included xylitol gum after your meal, govt cheese will still cause constipation without some stool softening. It's nice gum and you'll be able to poop, what's not to love?

the heating pad didn’t work i don’t know if i did it wrong.

These little meals are excellent! A few family members of mine that are all former military have told me about these things and I wanted to try one. I bought the Chili Mac MRE, which, according to a lot of active and former military service members I know, is the best one out there.I can say I'm not disappointed! There was a lot more food in the package than expected. Everything from the main entree to a vanilla pound cake. Also had coffee and fruit punch mix packets inside. And the flavor is really good!I would highly recommend getting a few of these for any camping trip or the like!

I’ve gotten MREs outside military before and they were disgusting. Actually through away about $200 worth. These are genuine. Good flavor. Good seasoning. Best of all it’s a good deal of food for the price.

The listing makes it seem like you are getting an entire lots of food but I only received one item.

I have only two negatives, otherwise it was exactly what I was hoping for:I have to say, unfortunately, with this specific Meal, for the price it felt a bit underwhelming where you get the same amount of food for a substantially cheaper price. The Chili Mac was delicious however I was not expecting nor was prepared for it to be spicy.
