Spaghetti Pouch O' Noodles

Contributed By: John in Bibs

This recipe makes 12 servings of 1 cup spaghetti and ½ cup noodles

Directions:

1. In a large pan fry the hamburger until evenly browned.
2. For long-term storage, drain off the excess fat and rinse the meat with warm water before continuing.
3. Dice up the tomatoes into bite sized pieces.
4. Return the drained meat to the pan and add the spaghetti sauce and tomatoes.
5. Allow the sauce to simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
6. Divide the mix into 24 portions in silicone molds (2 portions = 1 serving), or use dividers to make 12 total portions on a lined tray.
7. Pre-freeze until solid. Remove the sauce from molds and arrange on a lined tray. If using dividers you can leave them in while freeze drying. 
8. Divide each of the uncooked ramen packages in half and arrange on a freeze drying tray.
9. Freeze dry.
10. Store in one serving portions in mylar bags for long-term storage.
