An easy and delicious meat sauce to create one of the ultimate comfort food dishes. Easily dehydrated for backpacking.

I don’t know about you, but one of my all time favourite comfort foods is pasta. And specifically, my mom’s spaghetti with meat sauce. So this dish is inspired by that very thing (thanks mom!).

Why skip out on your favourite foods in the backcountry?? Bring them with you!

Dehydrating this recipe is extremely simple. You literally just make your meat sauce as you usually would at home, spread it on to your dehydrator trays, and pop it in the dehydrator!

The nice thing about ground meat is that when it’s dehydrated and then rehydrated, it retains it’s texture fairly well. Trust me, you won’t even know it was dehydrated! Some other proteins (like chicken breast) are a little more difficult to not have chewy or dry once dehydrated and rehydrated.

Don’t like your food too spicy? No worries, reduce or omit the red chilli flakes out of the recipe below!
