We Recreated 3 Popular Camping Meals from Scratch (Easy!)

Freeze-dried camping or backpacking meals like Mountain House are convenient, but are they actually the best option? In this video, I teamed up with Chef Corso from Outdoor Eats to find out. We picked three popular camping meals—chicken fried rice, chicken fajita bowl, and the famous beef stroganoff—and tried to recreate them using simple, affordable ingredients you can grab at any grocery store. Then we put them head-to-head against their freeze-dried counterparts in a taste test showdown.
