    Meals in a Jar

    Meals in a jar (or meals in a bag) are incredible ways to use dehydrated foods and extend your long-term storage. They are also perfect for emergency meals for your family, for hiking, camping, and backpacking meals, or even meals to give loved ones or neighbors who are in need. They are quick-cooking meals that need only to rehydrate and heat, so can be great for those nights when cooking a hearty meal is just too much! Taco Soup in a Jar is a family favorite, as well as a variety of other meal in a jar recipes you'll find in this handy resource. And remember - any recipe you find online that calls for freeze-dried foods can easily be substituted with dehydrated!
