I made this last year and did it in my GSI 10” anodized Dutch Oven the traditional way. This year I just used my Dragonfly stove.

I made the chili at home with 93% hamburger. I added one can of chili beans, a can of crushed tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, and seasoning and then dehydrated it. I added some onion flakes and a little more seasoning and vacuumed sealed it up.

When I got everything reconstituted (I added about 1 ½” water above the mix), I added a package of Martha White yellow cornbread mix on top like dumplings. I just mixed the water into the package. I turned the heat down as low as it would go and did not take the cover off for 15 minutes, then let it all sit for another 5 minutes.

I usually like my chili a little more soup like, but it was very good.

kevinL this does look real good. when you dehydrate this mixture do you just spoon it out on the platters that come with a dehydrater and how long would this take?

I put it on the trays used to make fruit roll ups. I gave them a very light spray of Pam then spread it out thin. I flipped/turned it all after about 4 hours.


I set the temp at 165 and I believe it took somewhere around 6-8 hours to get the hambuger nice and hard like grape nuts.
