Another amazing meal, very filling and keeps you fuelled for longer. Breaking up the biscuits prior to pouring the water in is definitely the way forward. Adds a tasty little treat.
JARY W.
Very filling, biscuits were huge, needed a little spicing up.
Rachel K.
Those bites of ground bison meat? UGH YUM. Great flavor and very filling with tons of protein. The biscuit had a great flavor, though I couldn’t get it to soften/cook through.
Rick M.
Shipped it out fast.
Josh S.
Liked everything and every flavor I ordered. Thank you for the quality backcountry meals.
Brian
This is some of the best tasting emergency/camping food ive had.
Tammy M.
Good tasting. Will buy again.
Greg F.
Just didn't like the overall take and the biscuits were rock hard
Erik W.
Great stuff for sheep hunting
Jason W.
One of my 3 meals did not have an oxygen absorber packet. Not an issue but could affect quality. Great taste, probably best enjoyed in the cold, not a hot day like we had today when we ate them. Will definitely buy again!

I selected Peak fuel for the meals on my first backpack outing on the Appalachian Trail section in Georgia. The taste was fantastic-although the biscuit probably needed more water than I used-it was pretty hard. But the photo captured the moment, for sure! All 4 flavors of meals this week were really good.
Jamie S.
Fantastic! Tasty and filling! Ate the pouch by myself and was stuffed.
Peak is my new go-to backpacking meal. Best flavor with the least amount of chemicals. Not sure how you pulled it off.
My previous favorite, good to go meals, they are super clean but nowhere near this amount of flavor.
I’ll be back for more.
Kevin M.
Unexpectedly tasted bland. I had anticipated a more robust taste and really couldn’t taste the bison meat. Seemed overpowered with beans.
Logan
Not sure what happened here but mine was actually awful. Nothing like any of the other peak meals. Friends said it smelled like plastic, and yes the desiccant packet was removed.
Christina K.
Absolutely everything I need for calorie intake, protein, and delicious meal options for my expedition kayaking trips. This one is a treat yourself kind of meal on those extra challenging days.
James T.
Didn't care for it
Matthew H.
Not a fan of the flavor, but everything was proper texture with recommended water measurement. I do like some of the other flavors, especially the Butternut Dal and Thai Coconut Chicken, so not a dislike of their products overall.
Christopher S.
I've been backcountry hunting for 20+ seasons and rely heavily on MRE type products. This was the first meal that was severely disappointing. I was only able to consume about half of the pouch and instantly got indigestion (I rarely get indigestion/heartburn). Within 10 minutes of consuming the product I developed bloating and basically vomited in my mouth. I tried lying down in my tent to relax, but had to get out and run to the first available log. I continued to have stomach issues for about 12 hours. I will never try this meal again and will be hesitant to purchase PEAK MRE's in the future.
Shernette S.
Loved it. Added shredded cheese and it was like a chili substitute
Derek F.
I gave the pouch several additional minutes and the biscuits were still rock hard. Other than that, the flavor was nice.
Craig H.
As an avid outdoorsman , that has tried their fair share of freeze-dried meals, and this one truly stands out. Was initially skeptical, but the peak refuel brand has exceeded all expectations. I was amazed by the taste and texture of this freeze-dried meal! It was incredibly easy to prepare—just add boiling water to the bag, and in 10 minutes, I had a delicious meal. The flavors were phenomenal, and the perfect texture of the noodles and meat was a fantastic surprise. It's the ideal, lightweight option for backpacking or for keeping in my emergency kit, with a shelf life that's unbeatable. This is definitely a new staple for my backpacking/outdoorsman pantry!
William D.
This is the grossest meal I’ve had from Peak. I will not be buying ever again
Bob T.
Love this meal! One of my favorites!

Backcountry Bison Bowl - 3.85/5.0 - "C+"
We added 2.0 ounces of extra water and 17 minutes time total for the biscuits to re-hydrate/reconstitute totally. There was not nearly enough Bison, as per the name. The flavor was good; and the meat, what little there was of it, was fully hydrated. Very Ricey and beany, much like the ‘Three Bean Chili Mac.’ This is good enough to stand on its own, but the biscuits helped the overall flavor. After finishing the bowl I would give it a 3.85, and my wife gave it a 3.85, partially for flavor and partially because there was enough for two people. This would be a little below the ‘Beef Stroganoff,’ and the ‘Chicken Teriyaki and Rice’ for flavor but not calorie count. It was easy to digest with mild later digestive upset as gas. Excellent value for price vs. Calories for survival or backpacking!!!! Above average Freeze Dry meal by comparison to others.
Eric M.
This meal is delicious. It kind of gives me that bowl of chilli feel. I added some hot sauce and it was a game changer. Even though it is still delicious by its self. 10 out 10 would definitely recommend.
Shelby D.
It would be cool if instead of ground bison, this one had chunks of bison steak. My coworker had this on one of our previous work hitches and she really loved it, so I wanted to try it. I don’t think I loved it as much as she did.
It was okay. The biscuits were really good!
mikebauer m.
Enough for 2 meals.
Brett W.
Tasty and filling. Only knocked a star off because at this price point it needs to be close to perfect and it's just shy of being there. Perhaps a bit more rice or biscuit? Something to make it just that final touch more filling.
Rusty S.
Best meal out there… taste matters on the mountain and the Peak has tast along with the calories I need.
Harold B.
My favorite Peak meal of them all now that the Bison Mashers aren't available (PLEASE bring them back!). These also have great taste and the biscuits just top it off! Great protein, low amount of water, and everything blends well! Highly recommend!
chris d.
Great product very tasty
Leopold G.
Outstanding meal. I recommend breaking up the biscuits, increase the water amount to 16 ounces and wait 20 minutes. This is one of my favorite meals.
Carl U.
This used to be amazing - you had two biscuits like the biscuits & gravy breakfast.
Now it’s some biscuit chunks that add up to maybe one biscuit? It tastes good, but for premium pricing is rice mush with barely any biscuits for texture. I regret getting a 6 pack combo of these. :(
Harold B.
Great flavor as always with Peak but this meal is my favorite. Everything quickly rehydrates and the flavors blend together very well.
Christina K.
This meal is by far my favorite for unique delicious flavors!
Chris W.
Very tasty and full of flavor.
Chris Q.
The food was absolutely outstanding. It was more than I could have expected. Perfect after a long day of hiking.
Bill T.
Just tried the Backcountry Bison Bowl! Loved the flavor and the seasoning for the first time ! Really puts the 1st and 2nd Gen. MRE's to shame! Keep up the good Effort!
Gennell C.
He loved that one also
Sam M.
One of our favorite meals we had during our 4day backpacking trip to Havasupai Falls!!
David P.
Taste good and filling , just enough for one.
Bryce W.
It was great, we just tested them preparing for future hunts
David P.
Tasty and filling, I devoured the entire package.
Kennis B.
These taste great and I will buy again.
Erich F.
Everything in the B.Y. Bison Bowl was great and hydrated properly. Great taste too!
Bill G.
Absolutely delicious and refreshing after a nice long pipe in the woods. Highly recommend. You get what you pay for. In this case, they nailed it. Great product.
Sandra
These are fabulous. Just took them camping and they were delicious.
Tanner J.
Taste really good
Darrell C.
This was my first experience with Peak Refuel and the Bison Bowl was very tasty and filling. I lean towards spicy foods so I did add a takeout packet of hot sauce which took it just where I needed it to be. This will go into my regular rotation.
Peggy C.
Hands down, the best dehydrated backpacking food I've had, other than my own.
David
Taste great. Good amount of calories.
Jackson
Was very good, biscuits were still hard so I would break them up before cooking otherwise was an awesome meal.
Dave G.
This meal was amazing! I fully expected the biscuits to be little balls of mush, but they were somehow perfectly crunchy. And the entire meal was delicious. I will definitely buy this one again.
Sean H.
I don't get why there are no pieces of the meat in this meal or the venison one, I failed to notice it saying "ground" on the pkg. However that's better than those god awful "pellets" you used calling them "crumbles". Back to this meal although I was looking forward to pieces of Buffalo I really did like the addition of Biscuits, those helped make the meal one I'd buy again aas long as you never use buffalo pellets aka crumbles in this or any other meal like you do the Marinara. I first heard crumbles and thought it would be dehydrated burger meat which I'm sure you know how it comes out of the grinder, and just that into 1" lengths or crumble it up just don't make a powder add some kind of binding agent to it and pretend it's good because it isn't. The biscuits saved you this time, I wasn't sure what to expect. Glad to see you guys keep trying to come up with more interesting meals just don't compromise on your values. You'd be surprised how many people will gladly pay a bit more for quality but don't let that go to your heads. I've been a fan since I first tried you about a year before covid and you helped me and a lot of others get thru that, so keep on trying out new meals. Oh, I tried the chicken "teriyaki" w veges again and you should stop calling it that since it tastes nothing like teriyaki, call it sweet chicken w veges, add a bit more tomato sauce and veges to it, you might just sell a bit more. Thanks for hearing me out. Sean
Kenneth
This is packed with a lot of ground bison and flavor. There are a couple of biscuits in the pouch and I have a couple of recommendations for fixing this meal. All the Peak Refuel meals are easy to fix, usually requiring a cup of boiling water, stir and reseal the pouch and wait 10 minutes. This meal requires a little more water, 1 3/4 cups to be exact. The biscuits are really the only hangup. Even after adding the proper amount of water to the pouch, stirring, resealing the pouch and then waiting for the 10 minutes the biscuits were still pretty hard. So my recommendations are add a little more water, let it sit longer than 10 minutes, or my personal favorite - take the biscuits out of the pouch and crumble them up before adding the water. It's all about personal preference. But like all the Peak Refuel meals it's delicious.
David L.
Very Awesome Guys
michael g.
Backcountry bison bowl is the absolute best meal. I would love to see you guys try a Cuban style black beans and rice meal!!!
Tim R.
Great taste, lots of protein, and keeps me energized on long backpacking trips.
Philip S.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this meal!!!!
This Bison Bowl is AMAZING!
The QUALITY of this Peak Refuel meal is unmatched in the Freeze-Dried category.
*** Read the ingredients label on this package, only real and healthy food. NO chemicals! 42 grams of protein. Less than half the amount of sodium in this package compared to competitors.
GREAT JOB!
Kenneth C.
The Backcountry Bison Bowl is one of my favorite Peak Refuel meals, along with the Bison Mashers. Lots of lean ground bison and vegetables make for a hearty meal.
TIMOTHY H.
Great company. Even better meals
Raoul
Back country bison bowl is a new one for me. No surprise, it’s excellent!
Katherine S.
Delicious. Its perfect. I wish we had picked up more of this one. It's a meal I'd eat over and over again.

It is so delicious. It is a little expensive, but if you have the extra money, definitely worth it the taste is amazing.
Thomas
Fast shipping and great packaging.

This damn thing was awesome. Wish I I had bought more than 2. So good! So great last weekend camping. Best meal yet and I've had almost all
