BBQ Beef Bowl
Pack in a quart freezer bag or sandwich bag:
- 1 cup instant rice
- ¼ cup freeze-dried hamburger
- ¼ cup freeze-dried corn
- ¼ cup freeze-dried cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp dried diced onion
Also take:

One Pot Method:

Stir well, top with remaining BBQ sauce and enjoy.

Place freezer bag in FBC Cozy, add in 1½ cups boiled water and oil and half the BBQ sauce into bag. Stir well, seal tightly and let sit for 15 minutes. Stir, and top with remaining BBQ sauce as desired.
