Ready Made Dehydrated Proteins

[steiny98]

Does anyone have any experience with dehydrated beef or chicken such as https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-House-G ... B000M7V1EA?

I'm looking to move away from the ready made dinners, and create my own meals using the above, and other dehydrated veggies such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Harmony-House-Fo ... ouse+foods

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? Any feedback/experience would be most welcome.

I've used chicken from Honeyville Farms with good results. I just put together some meals last night using it; chicken and stuffing and cheesy chicken and broccoli.

One nice thing is that they have smaller cans also, when they're in stock.

I have the Mtn House Ground Beef and add it to meals. The calorie density is great (6.3 Cal/gm). The taste is decent, but it does remain slightly chewy after the 10 min steeping typical for Mtn House meals.

I dehydrate turkey or ground beef into gravel. No MSG in my meals. Canned chicken dehydrates and then comes back resembling chicken, just throwing uncooked chicken in a dehydrator doesn't work.

Tossing a can of chili in a tray and dehydrating works. Lentil based dishes dehydrate well.

Dehydrated a tuna casserole - brings all the cats in for miles... works okay.

Anything dehydrated at home should be eaten within a few weeks or frozen, by the way. It doesn't remove all the moisture and things can go moldy. But it does the trick when drying leftovers the week before a trip.

I use the freeze dried chicken from Mountain House all the time. Mix it with dehydrated refries and wrap in a burrito and your good to go.

Okay great. Was thinking of making chicken burritos with dehydrated refried beans, fritos, tortilla, and minute rice.

Skurka has some decent recipes on his site which I was thinking of adding chicken to.

Thanks for the input, I think I will try the honeyville.

If you get a dehydrator you can cut out the middle man.
