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. The meals in this collection are pulled in automatically because their ingredient list mentions beef. Always confirm on the actual package — recipes change.
