Meal in a Jar Tips
- If you use an oxygen absorber, this
food will last a long time without canning in a pressure cooker or water bath.
- Look for quick cooking beans if
possible to save time on your preparation in the end.
- Freeze dried meat and veggies are the
freshest, easiest way to go with this method of food storage. You can find
freeze dried food on amazon.om and beprepared.com as well as other places.
CLASSIC CHILI Meal in a Jar
In a quart
size jar layer these ingredients:
1/2
cup dehydrated
onion
1/2 cup Freeze Dried Bell Peppers
1/4 cup
Freeze Dried Diced Celery
1T beef
bullion (no MSG)
1 T chili
powder (more or less depending on how you like your chili)
1T
Seasoned Salt
1 tsp hot
chili flakes (if you like it hot)
Pack the
ingredients tightly in the jar, shake the seasonings in there too. There is
always room for the most vital addition to your jar, the oxygen
absorber. You need one if you plan on using these meals. It keeps the
meat and other ingredients fresh. This makes a vacuum environment. You need
that. No you don't have to pressure can or water bath can this jar.
To
prepare:
Combine
the contents of the jar with 7-8 cups hot water (depending on how thick you
like your chili) and simmer over medium-high heat 25-30 minutes until hydrated
and ready to eat. Serve with hydrated freeze
dried cheese if desired...or just have it plain in all it's
glory.
