MRE: Southwest Style Beef and Black Beans with Sauce, Menu 24 ~2018 Series~

This review is the final meal for my 2018 Case A & B Series. It is one of the spicier menus but for me it could be kicked up some more with Jalapeno Cheese and the Red Crushed Pepper. Mixing the dessert items into something authentic is a real treat too.

I really hope KiwiDude comes back. He was actually the first MRE reviewer I ever saw on KZbin and it was really sad to see him stop posting videos several years ago now...

[@TheWykedKara]

oh man I forgot all about kiwidude, I am glad I came across this one video I used to love watching him.

[@DopeTheScopeGaming]

That’s like steve1989mreinfo he went away for years and came back, he’s suuuper detail oriented in his reviews, he give a lot of props to gun dog, so here I am checking his stuff out now! Thanks steve1989mreinfo💪🏼

[@dubc3615]

Gundog is back!!! Glad you found that menu 24. The smallest FRH that has mediocre heating compared to any other one I have tried. That FRH you had was awesome the Ziplock and vent really help. I just tried the chipotle bread(From 2010 spag menu) it was just as good as the tortillas. This menu is one of my favorite cause it seems so complete with good main tortillas and a solid dessert that you made. Fantastic Review Gundog!

[@chris7infdiv835]

So glad you are back. Great review, love your no nonsence attitude, tell it like it is. You can tell you were in the military. Thank you for your service.

[@uberslackerdarren]

Hell yeah!!! I can't wait to see KiwiDude again!!!

[@Lucythebackstreetgirl]

This is my first time getting some MREs so I don't know what to look forward to but I received my first box today that I ordered I got them as emergency food

[@southernsasquatch8404]

Always enjoy all of Gundog's videos! Great review! 👍😎

[@ReadinessRations]

The cake had me drooling. Awesome way to finish the series out brother. The prospect of a Kiwi Dude return has me super excited.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Hi Gundog! That is a great menu One of my favorite. I don't prefer the chipotle tortillas. Call me strange, but I would take the wheat snack bread. That is a great way to make a fabulous dessert. Great review, my friend 🤝

[@dubc3615]

Hi Tracy!

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Hey Gundog good to see you. Great review as always. Enjoyed this series. Not much of a spice eater lol but i will take the dessert. Hope you have a great day:)

[@marilynscull4585]

That dessert looks awesome. Awesome review Gundog

[@berserk046]

It´s always great see a video from you

[@nataliestory2614]

Glad to see a new video. Made me want to cook up a pot of chili.

[@conroypawgmail]

That's great news to hear about Kiwi Dude! Thanks for the heads up!

[@crystalmiller4022]

Welcome back Gundog! Miss seeing your videos!

[@Ragnar19999]

Great to see you back Gundog. Hope you have been well.

[@christophernegus]

It’s good to see got a new video up

[@ben-cardinal.]

i love this video and the review on the food i have the exact same menu for mre i have here in my bedroom im thinking of eating it or sharing it with my friends

[@christinescharwatz2328]

So glad you are back

[@carbidejones5076]

Good job, thanks for the update on Kiwi.

[@decarlosperry5111]

You made that cake and spiced apples look good I hope my menu has all the same stuff great review 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@olmatedropbear7862]

Great review and desert idea mate. Nice shout out to Kiwi Dude. Agree with missing him and “The Boss” LOL

[@oliwan666]

It's always good to see you, brother...or at least your hands :-D I had a Jalapeno Pepper Jack recently with rotten bread and the cobbler wasn't looking very good as well.

[@RJM1011]

Good to see thank you for the video thumbs up and shared. :)

[@Saw-Mc]

Cheers for the upload

[@LuisRosa72]

This is easily one of my favorite menus.

[@rockyraab8290]

That's my all-time favorite entree, gundog. "Fruit on cake" has been a ration treat for at least half a century, since peaches on pound cake of WWII, at least. Ditto the kudos for KiwiDude. We ALL miss him - and The Boss.

[@vipergtsmre]

Hi GD. I feel your FRH frustrations, I never understood why they never up upgraded them. This is a great menu, cool idea with the dessert.

[@ciadaclark9110]

Hi I found your video from Steve y'all make these look so good 😍

[@rogerm9376]

Awesome review !

[@firewalker1372]

GUNDOG!! Long time no see. Sitting here eating a meatball sub from my local pizza joint. Going to enjoy this video. I’m with you on the FRH, they are freaking horrible. Some of the ones I’ve seen from like Japan, holy crap do those things take off.

[@SaintSavageProd]

On FTXs I lived on this MRE it was my absolute favorite

[@packersmresandvintage]

Cool vid matey

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

That's a good menu right there. I love them tortillas.

[@jacks4733]

Keep 'em coming!

[@garettreeser3305]

BirdMan here.. watching you all most makes me wish I would have kept for myself, but I'm glad it got a proper review from you.✊

[@gundog4314]

Will have to hook you up with one.

[@csr870]

Awsome to see you again miss your videos hope life is treating you ok take care buddy hope to see you again soon great job

[@andrewwaterbury7782]

That food looks very delicious,I’d eat that whole thing.

[@dennismcatee1313]

Kiwi returning, yes!!!! Can't wait

[@rickybritton7212]

Outstanding Brother Gundog 👏 You did a Excellent Review Brother, I totally agree with your opinions on the Heating Bag System, at least put the Heating element in a separate sealed Bag, That might help, Thank you for Sharing Brother. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🇺🇸 and God Bless All the Great Veterans and First Responders

[@shovelhead8]

I think I would be pretty happy if some wimp traded this to me for something weaker. Thank you for the awesome review, Jim. Stay safe and stay cool

[@sunshinesideoflife7710]

Another awesome review. I agree our FRH has totally sucked and w ouod easy to replace them with a bigger element and bag. But then again, you know a bolt costs 12k and a nail 78k. Lol Glad to see ya reviewing #vets #mres

[@roberthutchins1507]

If the Army had FRH's that got hot, people would be injured by burns. Remember, Americans have to have warnings on coffee cups that says caution hot coffee is hot!

[@toryknotts8026]

My thoughts exactly! Also I guess they could be used as a weapon due to the hot temperatures generated by the heating element. You have to remember they throw acid on people over there in the middle East ( just stating a fact), so what will prevent them from throwing boiling water? The results from both are similar- scarring and the complications from burns, it's probably easier to get a FRH that a thing of acid

[@gundog4314]

Well there is that….

[@stevenwagner7520]

My wife and I had one of these MREs for dinner tonight.

[@stephenmiller5498]

Mine came with a Jack Links beef jerky and a lemon pound cake. Overall very good. 👍

[@tahmidbhuiyan5591]

Hands down the best MRE. Change my mind

[@66josephrichter]

Doesn't it usually have cobbler?

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

We need a frh that has 2 or 3 heaters incase you want to eat some now and some later and coffee when you want it that's actually piping hot.

[@rickowen6010]

This is by far the most underrated MRE

[@StanDocLovesMeHaynes]

Big dog Gundog I found out a secret to the peelable seal. Grab from below the seal and pull. Not above it. There is not enough leverage to try and open it from the top. I have have had trouble with it as well till the other day and was like what if I pull from the bottom. Opens EVERYTIME.

[@markcozine2971]

I have one of these and was wondering what was in it

[@kermitthehermit5949]

This is a tasty ration. I swapped the cheese for cheese and jalapenos.

[@annaguajardo6420]

Gundog!! I haven't seen or heard from you in a long ass time man ! How have you been??

[@Theonlyone1121]

My frh that came with the mre worked great. I was even able to put my cheese inside my bag. Then shimmy my tortilla on one side of the sleeve. And even my cappuccino on the other side. Everything came out burning hot and great. I guess when you’re just whining you just miss out on the basic pleasures.

[@mitchellthompson3025]

Best FRHs I've had in my own experience are the ones that are packed with XMRE's products. Those puppies are freaking hot!

[@gundog4314]

Bascially this is a bigger version than that. May be produced by the same manufacturer since they are both in Florida

[@cjansen1980]

Hey Gundog, what was that 2nd FRH you used and where did you get it? Anywhere the average citizen could buy?

[@gundog4314]

Here is the company stuff: Fed Biz Foods Jacksonville, Florida 904.374.9262 Www.fedbizfoods.com

[@luca.1992]

Best MRE for me. Most people seem to prefer Chili Mac.

[@shovelhead8]

Your comment on my yard sale book somehow disappeared. I was hoping it was a different kind of games with girls book as well. Stay safe and stay cool

[@gundog4314]

I must be "controversial" to youtube haha

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Would be nice to get a couple cases. I live in the west section of st mary parish in louisiana. hurricane Ida is going to hit the east part of the parish. Probably want have electric for a couple days to a week.

[@youtube.commentator]

2:23 nice

[@JonMadsen70]

👍

[@brianartillery]

I'd have to pass on that one - I had a stomach ulcer some years ago, and to say spicy food disagrees with me, would be a huge understatement!

[@keithmoore5306]

yeah i'll believe Kiwi is back when i see it until then i wouldn't hold my breath! seems drop bear is headed that way he hasn't posted in over a year has he?

[@gundog4314]

When your customs is more draconian than USDA and CBP your pretty much just throwing your money away since you never get your stuff.

[@keithmoore5306]

@@gundog4314 customs? what does that have to do with KIWI and dropbear posting new stuff?

[@findantu]

Mined different but its official Was a teriyaki stick square style. Cookie instead of a cake

[@Kain8719]

Since spoilage was mentioned, picked one up the other year at my local surplus store, popped it open to rat fuck for the truck bag, and yeah, absolute carnage, looked like the main had gone full on rogue and was playing for the talitubies and decided to explode. God was that an awful smell. Ended up trashing the entire thing.

[@dtrain-uwu]

I LOVE YOU GUNDOG!! HOOAH And as we all know. The bad odors are always on the outside of the bag ;)

[@aamehey1287]

The reason they make the frh so small and cheap is because most times in the field there not used because they can give away your position

[@66josephrichter]

No cobbler??

[@andrewkey8788]

kiwidude rocks

[@pbmccain]

Roll the beefstick in the tortilla

[@MANC2311]

Has it ever been revealed why Kiwi Dude stopped making vids?

[@danieltaylor5231]

You really should have named your channel the MRE gourmet or maybe Fine Field Artillery Dinning.

[@gundog4314]

Most of these tricks were learned from the remaining Vietnam vets when I was in. They in turn learned from the Korea guys who learned from the WW2 guys. The goal is to make somewhat substandard food you get over and over again palatable. I just hope what little I know about making rations taste decent rubs off on the guys and gals forced to eat them now haha

[@James-sir]

Tobasco . Chalula

[@akshane5570]

Add some pineapple to it and it will work fine

[@ihcman9130]

pour the salt from the accessory packet into the frh before adding water. It helps it heat up especially if its older and little weak. Also fold the bag up so it doesn't leak and tilt it back and forth to get the whole element wet, also helps to keep it tight to build up pressure so the bag isn't sticking to the frh so that water gets to it all.

[@strangleholdoutdoors]

Stranglehold Outdoors

[@Volker12332]

Great menu. Maybe the US Army is afraid that the soldiers burn themselves 🤣🤣

[@gundog4314]

Probably more afraid of bigger MRE Bombs haha

[@pt8208]

Spackle on the bowel, quick, get a trowel!

[@keithmoore5306]

why they can't use a better FRH, who's district has the current manufacturer in it? and this mocha stuff oh hell no to the soy boy slop!!

[@fr3dr02]

No Camels?🤷🏻

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

never ever understood why they give war fighters sugar free beverages and salt substitute. Seems kind of like an insult. For God's sake, why not add twice the toilet paper. Those beef sticks are nasty! KiwiDude's daughter is a star!
