FREEZE-DRIED MEATS
Freeze-Dried meats are a great addition to anyone’s pantry and food storage. No chopping, thawing, cooking, etc. required.Meats tend to be a bigger investment and aren't cheaper to use on a pound for pound basis if you are comparing them against grocery store meat.
However a significant cost-savings can be had if you avoid going out to a restaurant because you can make a quick easy meal at home or use a "Meal-in-a-Jar" you had on hand. It's also helpful to practice using the meats so you will know what works and doesn't work in an emergency situation
Read on about how you can used them in your everyday cooking:
TOSS IT IN:
Any type of soup, stew, or sauce has enough liquid to reconstitute your meats within a few minutes. No need to hydrate them first. It is so easy and can add bulk and calories to any meal.
BULK IT UP:
Many just-add-water meals tend to be vegetarian in order to keep the price down. There are a lot of bean and rice meals, soups, etc. that hover around 200-300 calories per serving. If you have a lot of those type of meals in your storage, adding some freeze-dried meat can be a great supplement. You would want to re-hydrate them in hot water, and then add them in just as your meal is almost finished cooking.
WRAP IT:
Don’t have time to prepare some chicken for a quick enchilada or quesadilla? No problem! Add freeze-dried chicken and you can add some protein to your dish in about 5 minutes. Dinner is fast and easy and you are practicing with (and rotating) your food storage.
TOP IT:
Pizza is a family favorite among many families. Freeze-dried chicken, beef, or sausage are all great pizza toppings to add some variety to your pizza. This is super convenient and fast.
EXTEND IT:
If you are running short on meat in your freezer/fridge, or you are worried about trying things with just freeze-dried meat, it is so easy to mix it half and half. It can be used for tacos, sloppy joes, etc. and no one will even know it wasn’t 100% fresh meat.
EAT IT DRY:
This may sound a little odd, but freeze-dried sausage crumbles dry can be delicious as a crunchy topping for a salad. Think bacon bits but better.
