Substitute freeze dried hamburger or TVP 'hamburger' flavor.

Perk's recipes is the "cover with water" type. Use your eyes as your guide on how much. For soups a 2: 1 ratio of water to dry food is a good start.

Instructions

At home pack everything together in a quart freezer or sandwich bag. For long trips, pack the meat separately in a small bag.

FBC method:
Add the beef to the bag and top with near boiling water. Stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 15 minutes. Add more water if needed.

Mug method:
Add the beef to the mug with dry ingredients. Top with boiling water. Stir well, cover tightly and let sit for 15 minutes. Add more water if needed.

One pot method:
Put the dry ingredients in your pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Add more water if necessary. Turn the stove off, cover tightly and let sit for 15 minutes. In cool temperatures use a pot cozy.

Where to find beans

Where do you find dehydrated beans? All the chili recipes call for these. I've found the bags of dried beans in the grocery store, but these take over an hour (if not 2) to rehydrate.

Precooked and Dehydrated Beans

Got www.harmonyhousefoods.com and check out their selection, it is what we use. The beans are precooked and dehydrated and only need to rehydrate - no cooking needed!
