Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated minced onions
- 1/3 cup instant non-fat dry milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup butter powder
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried vegetable mix
- 1/3 cup cheese powder
- 1 cup freeze-dried diced chicken*
Instructions
- Layer ingredients into clean, wide-mouth mason jar in the order listed above. Shake to settle contents.
- Place new canning lid on top of jar. Using wide-mouth attachment for a FoodSaver, vacuum seal lid onto jar following instructions from your FoodSaver manual. (You can also insert an oxygen absorber before putting on lid if you'd like.)
- Remove vacuum attachment and put ring on. Tighten by hand, but don't over tighten.
- Label and date. Store in cool, dry location.
To cook:
- Empty contents of jar (minus oxygen packet if present) into large skillet. Add 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let sit 3-5 minutes to allow sauce to thicken.
Notes
You can substitute chicken TVP for the freeze-dried diced chicken.
If you are having a hard time finding freeze-dried vegetable mix (do not use dehydrated), you can substitute freeze-dried corn or peas or a combination of both!
