Just Add Water Recipes....
One thing I do in winter is work on creating recipes for "just add water" dry jarred mixes. Something you can have on hand for quick meals.
REQUIRED conditions...
Freeze proof
Self contained in a 1 liter, quart reusable canning jar.
Long term shelf stable.
No exotic, hard to order or get ingredients, as much as possible homemade ingredients and local store available ingredients.
Again, complete, "just add water" no other conditions
Without looking in my folder, a potato soup recipe that requires 3 liter water, 1 liter jar of mix, nothing more. This cooks into a thick soup for 3 to 4 people.
Again, as I recall the recipe without looking it up.
dehydrated potato slices
instant potato flakes
milk powder
cheese powder
salt pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
bacon bits.
There are likely hundred of recipes out there that qualify with the restrictions above. Thousands of recipes that say use a jar of mix plus add a can of this or that ingredient that does not meet the conditions above. Usually freeze proof, or exotic, internet ordered, or overly expensive ingredient. The other thing is recipes that require you have pretty much a modern, functioning kitchen to prepare with. I'm talking doing this over a camp fire or a HOBO stove.
I know, I'm likely too fussy about this, but it can be done.
So...Anyone have any proven recipes to share ??
I would add a picture of my homemade HOBO stove, but it is such a pain in the neck to do.

Not probably what you're looking for but a little nugget I stumbled on... one jar of spaghetti sauce, one jar of water, and one lb of dry pasta mixed together in a 9×13 pan, covered with foil, and baked for about 45 minutes yields a nice spaghetti dinner without boiling water or needing a colander.
Can't see why you couldn't add a jar off beef either.
As far as other jar add water meals all I can come up with is soup from dehydrated food. Not the creativity you're looking for I'm sure.
