This FBC (Freezer Bag Cooking) recipe will serve 2 adults well. No tiny portions here!
Veggie Beef & Rice Pilaf
- 2 cups instant rice
- ½ cup cooked and dehydrated or freeze-dried hamburger
- ¼ cup dried vegetable blend
- 2 tsp low sodium beef bouillon
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried garlic
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Also Take:
- 1 ounce Swiss cheese
- 1 Tbsp or 1 packet olive oil
At home in a quart freezer or sandwich bag pack the dry ingredients. Pack the cheese tightly sealed in a plastic bag.
FBC method:
Add 2 2/3 cups near boiling water and oil. Stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 15 minutes.
Fluff up and top with diced Swiss cheese. Divide between 2 bags as bowls.
Insulated mug method:
Add 2 2/3 cups boiling water and oil to dry ingredients. Stir well, cover tightly and let sit for 15 minutes. (This will require a large insulated vessel)
Fluff up and top with diced Swiss cheese. Divide and serve (the empty dry ingredient bag works well as a bowl).
One Pot Method:
Bring 2 2/3 cups water and oil to a boil in a pot. Add in dry ingredients, stir well. Top with diced cheese and cover tightly. Let sit for 15 minutes. In cooler temperatures or at high altitude, use a pot cozy to insulate.
To make a second bowl, use the bag the dry ingredients were in.
