Trail Meal | BiFi Stroganoff

Trail Meals should be easy to throw together, lightweight, and throw in a pot style cooking. With this BiFi Stroganoff I checked all these boxes!

I recently ordered a big bag of milk powder to try out for a bunch of different recipes that I have planned, for example my recent Trail Meal for basic Oatmeal. And I really liked the creaminess and flavor it brought. For savory recipes I am more interested in playing around with it however. So that’s why i figured out a BiFi (instead of Beef) Stroganoff recipe that I hope you give a try for your next backpacking trip.

Ingredient list

• 50g vermicelli pasta
• 20g whole milk powder
• 1 BIFI sausage
• 1 tbsp dried mushrooms (~5g)
• 1 tbsp dried mixed veggies (~5g) I used a store bought mix of: Leek, carrot, celery, celery root, onions, parsley, lovage
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp beef bouillon powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp mustard powder
• Pinch of black pepper
• Pinch of salt
• 300ml water (on trail)

Preparation at home

All you need to do is measure out the ingredients and throw them in a Zip Loc bag, with the exception for the dried mushrooms. In my case these where a bit big, and would take longer then needed to rehydrate, so I gave them a crush in my mortar and pestle to make them go a bit faster.

If you decide to dehydrate your own vegetables and mushrooms then this gets added to the prep. I used a Freeze dried mix I can get here in Germany easily and cheaply, and is meant to be thrown into soups.

On Trail Cooking

As always, the goal with hiking and backpacking recipes is that you can throw some stuff in your one pot, and call it a day. The same is true for this recipe.

Step 1, Take 300 milliliters of cold water and add it to your pot
Step 2, Throw your ingredients in

If you want to fine tune it a bit more, follow the following steps:
bring to a boil, let cook for a minute or two, or until the vermicelli is how you like it, cut up your BiFi sausage in there, and let stand for a few minutes. Afterwards you can dig in.

Please let me know if you gave it a shot and liked it down in the comments! Or share on Social Media.

Happy Hiking and Hike for Purpose!
