Other Ways to Enjoy:

Many enjoy this meal as it is on backcountry trips, but there is plenty you can do to change it up a bit! One of our favourite ways to eat this meal is burrito style. This involves adding slightly less water than the instructions state. Once the stew is rehydrated, but very thick, put it in a wrap, with some fresh avocados, and you've got a delicious backcountry burrito! Have some extra cheese? Throw that on too! This is also a great way to make this meal go a bit further as with the addition of the wrap and avocado, you can split one bag between two.
