I started making dehydrated meals for lightweight camping situations, but now I’ve gotten hooked! I bring dehydrated meals with me on long road trips to save time and money, and even have started bringing them to keep in the cupboard at work for when I forget a lunch. All I do is take a wide mouth thermos and put the dehydrated food in and add 1.5x volume boiling water, seal the thermos and let it sit 15-20min. For soups or wetter dishes sometimes I add a little more hot water just before eating.

Anyone else have good dehydrated recipes for me to try? Right now I’m loving this beans and rice one as a base because I can so easily make variations, like adding powdered eggs and make breakfast burritos.

    I used to do it in the oven on lowest setting and open and stir it up hourly. But I got a cheapo dehydrator (as shown in the video) and it works sooooo much better. It makes the whole process really easy.
