I’m considering trying it when I’m car camping to save some cooler space. Is there a recipe you’ve used where it turned out well? Any best practices?

I’m thinking a stew would be a good option, leaving it to soak in the broth for a good long time.

      That’s actually the original way chili would have been made. Vaqueros would have access to salted, dried beef, and dried peppers.

      I’ve made pemmican with peppers in it, and rehydrated while camping. It worked out all right. I ended up adding cornmeal so the fat didn’t end up like an oil slick on top. I could basically melt it down and dissolve the cornmeal into it before adding water.
