Dehydrated Meals In A Jar Recipes

DEHYDRATED CELERY

Steps:

• Start with clean hands, equipment, and countertops.
• Slice the celery into ⅛" to ¼" pieces.
• Optional: Blanch for 1 minute in boiling water, then drain and run under cold water. Shake dry.
• Arrange the celery on dehydrator trays, utilizing a mesh liner to prevent the celery from falling through the holes as it shrinks.
• Dehydrate at 125ºF (52ºC) for 4-8 hours until the celery is dry and brittle-it should break, not bend (see note 2).

CHEESY HAM CASSEROLE - WITH DEHYDRATED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and set aside.
• Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover the potatoes with boiling water. Let sit while making the cheese sauce.
• To make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a 2-quartsaucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir to combine.
• Stir in the milk and continue stirring until sauce has thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted.
• Add the ½ cup hot water to the sauce and stir until well combined. Add black pepper to taste.
• Drain the potato slices and layer one half in the baking pan. It's ok if the slices are not fully hydrated. They will continue to get soft while baking. Top with the ham if using, and one half of the cheese sauce. Layer the remaining potato slices and top with the remaining cheese sauce.
• Cover the casserole and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
