Freeze-Dried Backpacking Meals With Beef

About beef meals

Beef is one of the most popular freeze-dried protein sources for backpacking — it shows up in stroganoff, chili, stews, and shepherd's pie pouches. Meals in this collection are included because their ingredient list contains beef, steak, or brisket as a substantive ingredient, not just as a broth or flavoring. Always confirm on the actual package — recipes change.

What to expect

• Classic stroganoff, chili, stew, and shepherd's pie pouches
• Most calorie- and protein-dense entrées on the trail
