Ready- Mixed Complete Meals In Jars - Loads Of Recipes! (2)

Over the years, we have featured several shorter posts about complete meals in jars. These are ready weighed and measured dry mix meals, which are stored in jars, ready to go. When needed, simply pour out the contents of the jar, add water, and cook until ready. Jar meals are very versatile. In fact, if you substitute a jar for a Ziploc bag, these meals are also great for camping and hiking too.

I have rounded up all the smaller readymade jar meal posts here in one place for ease.

What a great idea! Measure out all the dry ingredients for the meals and then store them in jars. When you need one, just pour it out into a pan, add water and cook. How simple and excellent is that… Complete, ready to go meals in a jar – Mason jar meals, what’s better than that?

It offers a nice alternative to simply storing dry foods in bulk. If you mix up some of your storage food like this, you’ll have access to a great nutritious meal in minutes. You could have a great morale-boosting Mason jar meal with the minimum of fuss. Certainly beats a quick meal of rice and beans, which is what I would likely come up with, without these great full meal recipes.

As well as making up some meals in a jar, you can make these meal mixes in Ziploc bags take them camping and hiking etc.
