Recipe Inspiration and History

Beef Chili was one of the first meals we ever dehydrated and the recipe is so old we are not sure we can even call it a classic! Although we have made minor adjustments to the recipe over the years, it remains much the same as when we first served it to our guests over 40 years ago.

Preparation Instructions for 1 package(135g) of Beef Chili

Keeping hydrated is even more critical when you consume foods that have had their moisture removed to keep from spoiling outside of the fridge and freezer. Proper re-hydration prior to consumption is very important. In high impact or long endurance activities, keeping your body properly hydrated is challenging and can on its own create issues with energy levels, strength and concentration. We have some tips for staying hydrated in the backcountry.

 

  • Mix contents of package and 650ml of water in a 1 L pot.
