Backpacking Recipes for Supper
Dining out tonight? Before you hit the trail, follow Chef Glenn's backpacking recipes in the comfort of your own kitchen to create simple home-cooked meals that can be dehydrated and packed up light and tight. In camp, using minimal fuel, combine meal with hot water and it's chow time.
Whether you're camped out at the base of Katahdin or drying out after a rainy day of puddle-hopping in the Smokies, my recipes will fuel your body with a healthy balance of meat, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. Recipes are for a single serving. Increase the ingredients proportionally by 1.5 or 2 times if you have a large appetite or you are cooking for two in the same pot. Bon Appétit! Chili & Stews
