I’ve got two homemade meals that are my go to favorites. Neither requires any kind of actual cooking or dehydrating.
The first is Slurkas beans and rice. It’s super popular, delicious, calorie dense, and nutritionally balanced. It’s instant refried beans, minute rice, taco seasoning, cheese, and Fritos. Google it. Trust me Anon, it’s well worth it.
The second is a simple combination of dry chorizo sausage, minute rice, a bouillon cube, and Italian seasoning. I use 2oz of sausage, 1 cup of rice, 1 small bouillon cube, and 1/4tsp of Italian seasoning.
Minute rice is an ok option when you can measure everything at home. Just about anything you need to heat up will require water, or will be pretty heavy (which is an issue since your focus is on hiking). Rice dishes use a little less than soups, but are generally less forgiving if you get the water amount wrong (Skurka’s beans and rice is an exception).
