    Hey friends!

    Have you ever ventured into the world of dehydrating food?! You should give it a try! It’s super easy & very rewarding! There are so many great creations YOU can make with a food dehydrator. Parker likes when I puree strawberries with honey on parchment paper and dehydrated it…then we cut them into strips for our very own homemade fruit roll ups!

    You can dry fruit, veggies and even back country MEALS which is what we’ll be doing in today’s video. Dehydrating is a wonderful way to preserve food for long time storage. Maybe you’re going on a camping trip or sending your husband off hunting…or maybe you’re like me and you’ve got a lil “prepper” in ya…and you want to have some food saved up JUST in case of an emergency! No matter what it is, dehydrating your food is not hard at all. Trust me! 🙂

    I’m always fascinated at how dehydrated food comes back to life when you re-hydrate it with some water. And you guys…with the right ingredients, it’s delicious!

    In today’s video I’m going to be making 3 simple recipes. Each recipe creates 3 meals and each meal will feed about 2 people…maybe 3 if your sharing with one of your kiddos!

    For these 3 recipes you will need your dehydrator & a kitchen scale (I bought mine on Amazon for less than $13). You will also need to cook & dehydrate your ground beef & chicken ahead of time. I used about 3 lbs of ground beef & about 10-12 chicken breasts. You can cook your meat however you’d like before you dehydrate it, just remember you don’t need to season it because we will be adding seasonings to the meals before we package them up for storage!

    **Important** when you cook your ground beef, rinse it thoroughly in a colander under hot water…mix it around good and squeeze as much fat/grease out as you can…too much grease & fat can spoil the food quicker! Then I just lay out the ground beef on a cookie sheet and press out the excess water with paper towels before dehydrating.

    I dehydrate all of my meat around 155 degrees for 8-12 hours & I dehydrate the mixes I share in this video at about 135 degrees for 8-12 hours.

    For my dehydrated meals, I shoot for 150 grams total per meal. 50 grams of that is my meat & the rest is made up of the mix & seasonings that I add.

    ✅ Beef Macaroni:
    1. Dehydrated ground beef
    2. 2 cups cooked macaroni noodles
    3. 1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
    4. 1 cup sautéed onions
    5. 1 cup diced tomatoes
    6. 2 TBS powdered milk (can add a little extra if you’d like)
    7. 2 TBS powdered cheese (can also add a little extra to make it more cheesy!)
    8. A pinch of salt & pepper

    ✅ Chicken Spanish Casserole:
    1. Dehydrated chicken
    2. 2 cups cooked rice (any kind of rice will do, just make sure it’s cooked)
    3. 1/3 cup salsa
    4. 1 can of cream of chicken soup
    5. 1 can of rinsed/drained black beans
    6. 1/2 cup frozen corn
    7. 1/2 tsp chilli powder
    8. 1/2 tsp paprika
    9. Pinch of salt & pepper

    ✅ Chicken Curry:
    1. Dehydrated chicken
    2. 2 cups cooked rice
    3. 1 cup coconut milk
    4. 1 cup sautéed mushrooms & red bell peppers (about 1 bell pepper & 5-6 mushrooms)
    5. 1/2 cup frozen peas
    6. 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    7. 1/2 tsp chilli powder
    8. 3/4 tsp curry powder (a little extra if you’d like)
    9. Pinch of dried parsley
    10.Pinch of salt & pepper

      Awesome video…. so many nonsense misinformation video's out there saying you can dehydrate meat 🤣

    5. @jchai1343 on

      I m making the curry and I feel that there is a lot of oil from the coconut milk ,will that not go rancid???

    6. @jchai1343 on

      Omg I tried your curry recipe and it isoooo good ,I didn’t have the curry you had so I used madras curry ,I took a little out of my dehydrated mix ,made up the spice you said put it in a lil bowl scooped half of it out and boiled up enough water just to cover put on stove in pot boiled the water out of it added spices omg it was so good I could only give my husband one spoonful ,but I’m the curry person in our house and I love curry anyway ,I will make him some when we go camping he really liked it too,I was just testing it and it gets a big 10/10 from me ,I just hope it stores well I also haven’t got the chicken so I’m definitely going to try it with chicken and it’s also yummy without great extra staple to have dehydrated!!

      Well a couple of comments.
      Thanks for the video. Good to see the ideas getting out there
      If folks are going to use 150F temp, that's going to preclude a LOT of the dehydrators out there. I have found if you can get 130F on your machine, you are fine.

      I think there's a bit too much fuss about removing the grease from meat. Keep in mind, the fats are where the flavor is. I have found that the rinsing in hot water process is not worth it. Just get a low fat lean burger mix, use a paper towel in the frying pan to get any fat you do see… and call it good. And lastly, go ahead and season the meat with salt and pepper when you're browning it. The seasoning will bind with the fats and "soak into" the meat. It's a pretty different taste sensation when you just add salt to a dried mix instead of salting the meat.

      I have made meals where the ingredients, like beef or turkey, vegetables, pasta, whatever… are all dehydrated first and then mixed when dry. There's some logic to this, but I have found that the meals taste better when all the flavors and textures bond together during a normal cooking process. You like how the meal tastes when you cook it? Good. That's what you got. However, big chunks of food won't work… and you should definitely add more spices than you normally would because dehydrating will "kill" some of the flavors.

      I am new at dehydrating and was wondering if you have ever tried making a meal that you were going to eat and then dehydrating the left overs?

    23. @davidlillecrapp2960 on

      155 degrees! That's cooking temperature, I thought you wanted to dehydrate the meat, not cook it. Oh you mean 68 degrees Celsius not 311 degrees Fahrenheit (which is what 155 degrees Celsius is). Now I understand. The rest of planet Earth (ie not the US) doesn't understand nor do they ever use Fahrenheit.

      These recipes look great! You said 150 g per meal was that per serving, or for 2 servings you packaged ? Also I wanted to know if I add more than enough water to cover my ingredients to get a saucier recipe would that compromise the quality of my meal? Thank you

    36. @gregeberhardt1711 on

      First video watched, Twas awesome, quick question though….how do theses rate vs those store bought ones? I assume better but want to check before doing.

      Thanks

      Since fat is not desirable for dehydration is it ok to sauté onion with a little EVOO? Or something else or nothing? Really want to try this!

    39. @CitizenKate on

      These are great recipe ideas, I'm definitely going to try them! One thing I want to mention is, when I used to brown my ground beef in a skillet before dehydrating, I was not very impressed with how poorly it re-hydrates. There is something about caramelizing the meat that prevents it from returning to the same tender texture it had prior to dehydration. Now I boil my ground beef in a stockpot full of water, rinse it with hot water, pat it dry, then dehydrate it. This method gives you dehydrated ground beef that re-hydrates more readily back to that softer texture.

      I'm a single household so every ounce of food needs to be used. If I make a roast or something similar I either have to freeze it or eat it for days. Dehydrating is my option. Please share more details about using the soup (dairy?) Or coconut milk (oil). I don't want to risk anything getting rancid. Thanks for the help!!

    44. @AW-gh3yv on

      DO NOT rinse your ground beef off in your sink. Putting all that grease down the drain can clog you pipes pretty badly. Just pat off with paper towels.

    46. @soonerfrac4611 on

      Most vacuum bags are capable of boil-in-bag, so you can literally just pour the water into the bag, then set aside. Especially if you have a bag cozy made of Mylar bubble wrap insulation.

      I am very new to dehydrating and just watched how to dehydrate carrots.. She chopped and drhydrated and then put it in a jar and then said you have to turn the jar over every day for a week to check for any moisture or mold. I was wondering if you have to do that with these meals too?? I would love to have these meals all prepped for days I dont feel well enough to cook
