yep just add water. i found that if i use it for mac and cheese i like to use oil instead. the powdered milk makes it taste weird.  thanks for the question.

@drewski2124 I was wrong, they are $7 a package, and provide between 300 and 500 calories a package (mountain house website)... personally I could eat 4 of these a day, and still be 1000 calories below the 3000 calories I burn a day while backpacking. but, if I stuck to 4 a day, that would be a cost of $28 a day... Or, I can stick to my non-freeze dried meals, spend between $10 and $15 a day, get all the calories I need, and eat something that actually tastes good.

Its $8 per day.

@timgriz1 The $8.00 a meal price tag has kept me from trying these...

looks like you got some good easy food to cook on the trail. have you ever tried some mountain house meals? i would recommend them.

ramen has zero nutritional value. although light and tastey its not something that belongs on the trail when you realy need the calories and nutirents to keep you going
