Here's my spaghetti and sauce

We cooked the noodles then dehydrated because they will re-hydrated quicker. This also allow you to get a better feel for the serving size. I also dehydrated the sauce separately and placed the noodles between the sauce "bark" or "leather" (as some refer to it) in the bag. This keeps the sharp edges of the noodles from puncturing the bag (lesson learned). We also used thin noodles so they would re-hydrate faster.

And the meat... my son and I split one of these meat pack during one meal, but size varied just based on how much I stuck on the bag.


There no reason one couldn't mix everything together and then dehydrate. But I wanted the meat separate so we could have the option to have it available for a different meal.

I can't help much on the how much the MH weights. Maybe someone else can bring that in.

Enjoy,
