Dialed back the chili powder for the kids but otherwise it was the perfect meal after a long day. Cooking up another batch for our next adventure this very moment!5 stars

Yes, vacuum sealing it will definitely help extend the shelf life. Six months seems totally reasonable. Hope you’re enjoying your adventure!

I made this at home. Tested by just pouring boiling water over in in a bowl, covering it and waiting 10 min. It turned our great!5 stars

I couldn’t believe how good it was… I thought it called for a lot of cumin as I was making the recipe, but I followed it exactly, and it turned out so good. The red lentils also added a nice texture for a chili – almost reminiscent of ground beed texturally at least.

My husband took it on a backpacking trip with his guy friends and it was the best tasting thing on the whole trip (they said).

Thanks. This recipe rocks!!!5 stars

I’ve made it that way and it works! 🙂 Good to mash beans a little or overcook them. I package my meals in Mylar bags with an oxygen absorber.5 stars

Like theoretically 6 months on the road? Planning the adventure of a lifetime for the summer and trying to start dealing with food along with permit application season.

Easy to make, quick to dehydrate, yummy to eat. A firm favorite now. Thank you for this recipe5 stars

]]> By: Beth D https://www.freshoutdo.com/red-lentil-chili/#comment-83679 https://www.freshoutdo.com/?p=8745#comment-83679 I’d like to make this as a add-boiling-water-to-a-rehydrate-bag. Has anyone done that with this recipe with success? I was wondering if it would work if I slightly mashed the beans as one
person previously commented.
