Got to making this recipe for backpacking meals. It was pretty tasty and I am looking forward to having some out in the field. Figured I would share. I dehydrated this but you could easily make some up in a bushpot. It does take some veggie prep but there are not that may ingredients. Certainly worth knowing how to make your own dehydrated meals for hiking or prep. Good eating.
