MRE Review: 2013 Menu No.19 Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack

Here's the first of the reviews of the stuff from the Mystery Benefactor. This one is a Menu No.19 Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack from 2013. I found the Beef Patty to be very tasty and flavorful. It's definitely one of the boldest named entrees of all-time, and it lived up to the name pretty good. After first tasting like the regular Beef Patty the heat started to build. But it certainly wasn't overwhelming by any means. I'm not a big fan of spicy foods and I had no problem with this one. I think someone expecting something REALLY spicy might be a bit disappointed by the heat generated by this one. But a little hot sauce would probably make it perfect for a fan of spicy stuff. Another disappointment might be the fact that the peppers seen in the patty seem to be just red and green bell peppers. Apparently the Jalapeno element is merely a "flavor", and you don't find actual jalapenos in the patty. The biggest surprise I got from this recent menu was the lack of a Hot Beverage Bag! The Accessory Pack was a bit different too (no coffee and no matches, but it did have sachets of both Heinz Ketchup and Mustard). Considering the small size of the entree (3 oz) there wasn't a ton of "stuff" in this one, but I'm sure the calories were up there with the rest of the menus.
