If you're not traveling to far, or have an extra set of hands to carry a small/medium cooler on portages, this is an easy and clean way to cook your meals.

Easy Cook/Clean Chile

1. Make your chile at home.
2. Once cooled after cooking, pour individual serving amounts into quart sized zip lock bags. IE> If 5 are going on trip, make 5 single serve bags.
3. Freeze the chile.
4. For your Trip, pack in some ice in amall/medium cooler and haul along.
5. To cook, simply place the individual serving bags into boiling water and let cook for roughly 5 minutes or until hot. Pour out of bag into serving bowl and enjoy.
TIP: Limit yourself to boiling two serving bags at a time.
TIP #2: If bags are froze at beginning of trip and on ice, should stay cold through 2 days. Could probably push for day 3 if necessary, but will likely be thawed completely by then.
