Omg this was one of the best freeze dried meals ever. So filling and comforting without being too heavy/saucy. I always let my meals sit an extra 5-10 minutes than they recommend (personal preference) and everything was perfectly rehydrated and still hot. I like the slightly larger size of the veggie pieces so it really felt like you had bites of each ingredient instead of many brands that just mix all together and taste like mush.

I brought venison meals along with bison and breakfast meals on a four day camp out. Love those meals !

It was disappointing to realize the venison was only ground and not pieces. Why do you do this? Even so I managed to fine one piece the grinder missed. Oh well. Also, and I know you can't control the packing process completely, could've had more veges in it too. So, I didn't mind it, it wasn't horrible I just was expecting pieces of meat and that's my fault for not reading carefully.

Great taste, lots of protein, and it gives me the energy for multiple day backpacking trips in the Winds.

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! 40 grams of protein. Less than half the amount of sodium in this package compared to competitors.
GREAT JOB!

This is very easy to prepare. Just add some boiling water, stir, seal the bag, wait about 10 minutes, open the bag and stir the contents and enjoy. The Chad Mendes inspired meals are all terrific. I think I like them more than the ordinary meals you can find because they are something that not every company has. Along with the meals they brought back I wish they would have brought back the elk meal. The bison, elk and venison are fantastic and should be a regular part of Peak Refuel offerings.

Can't go wrong with this pick. Hunting, camping, backpacking. It needs to be in your pack.
Dana H.
Delicious and really filling! Big portions. Great for bug out bags, off grid, camping or just in case. Repeat customer.

It is without hesitation, absolutely, unquestionably, without a reasonable doubt this is hands down the best freeze dried meal I have ever eaten. Being an outdoorsman, overlander, and someone of an emergency preparedness mindset I’ve had all freeze dried companies meals and not just the Mendes meals but all of Peak refuels meals have dethroned the best on the current market. Please do not let the Chad Mendes signature series menus only be a limited time offering. I speak for the masses when i say it would be in Peak Refuels best interest to keep your customers happy and never end this menu line. I will also be adding a ton of all Peak Refuels meals to my long term storage preparations. Sincerely thank you for all your hard work to make things easier for your customers.

Unbelievable taste.
Tate S.
This meal was incredible delicious AND reminded me of a meal my grandfather who just passed away used to make us. Made it even more awesome to have and enjoy. Absolutely loved this meal can’t wait to eat it again on the mountain during my archery hunt. Hopefully after a successful harvest
Thomas
Arrived quick and in good shape! Haven't tried it yet.
Alan D.
A good new flavor/meal, and wish all the Mendes meals were part of the regular menu.
John K.
Just think no car parts to look out for and very tasty

The Venison casserole is a great meal that you look forward to the whole day. You can eat the meal alone right out of the bag or toss it over instant potatoes. Follow the directions on water amounts for the best results.
William B.
Tried all the Mendez meals last year and out of all of this one stood out the most for me. They are all good just really liked this one the most. Good experience all around with peak refuel. So much better then mountain house. Will continue to buy from peak refuel
Peggy C.
My most favorite backpacking meal, hits the spot after a long trek.
Rosemarie C.
Like all of your meals, it rehydrates well & flavors are good & veggies not mushy.

All the food is stored away until needed!

This venison casserole is my favorite Mendes meal. I like it so much I served it for dinner to my neighbor for her 94th birthday without telling her and her son that it was a freeze-dried meal! They both LOVED it! I kid you not. I carried it over in a crock pot and they were none the wiser. Put a fresh salad with it and cake and ice cream for dessert, it was quite a nice dinner celebration - and oh, so easy! The ingredients aren't full of chemicals and preservatives, so I felt good serving it to them. Love it!

These Peak Refuel meals are absolutely the best on the market. I have been backpacking for over 50 years, and I will take nothing else for myself. My Boy Scout son is a vegetarian, so he enjoys Backpacker's Pantry Louisana Red Beans and Rice, which is good to me if I add some tuna fish or salmon jerky.
Damien J.
I'm a sucker for any casserole (read: unhealthy) recipe, but it's perfect for the trail. Really good and wish i had more. Oddly enough, the ingredient that was the best? Those dang carrots.
Paula C.
typically I've not been a big deer fan but this meal slapped me! The sauce with rice and veggies were a perfect combo with the venison. This is now my #1 go-to Peak meal when it's in stock.
Steve
I want the recipe. One of the best back country meals I have had. Second only to the Bison Mashers.
Andrew B.
Was my least favorite of the mendes meals, but not that it wasn’t tasty, had plenty of meat and full of flavor, did have a gamy hint(to be expected) that I think comes from grinding venison with the sliver skin on it.
