Mountain House Diced Beef Freeze-Dried Ingredient Can

Mountain House Diced Beef is a freeze-dried, precooked beef ingredient packed in a #10 can, delivering 15 servings of 27g of protein each, ready to rehydrate with hot, cold, or room-temperature water in under 10 minutes. It is dairy free, gluten free, contains no artificial flavors or colors, and is preservative free. The can includes a plastic resealable lid for short-term storage after opening.

Precooked and Ready When You Are

Because the beef is fully cooked before freeze drying, there is no raw-meat handling in the field or at home. Rehydration with hot water takes less than 10 minutes; cold or room-temperature water works too, with roughly double the rehydration time. That flexibility matters when a camp stove is unavailable or a power outage cuts access to a kitchen.

A Practical Long-Term Pantry Staple

The #10 can format is designed for long-term food storage and large-group feeding. Mountain House backs this product with a 30-Year Taste Guarantee, giving households and preparedness planners confidence that the contents will remain palatable well into the future. The can is sold by weight; some settling during shipping is normal and does not affect the product.

Drop-In Ingredient for Any Beef Recipe

Mountain House Diced Beef rehydrates into cooked beef that substitutes directly into soups, stews, chili, rice dishes, or any recipe calling for pre-cooked beef. With 140 calories and 27g of protein per 2/3-cup dry serving, it adds meaningful nutrition without requiring refrigeration before opening. Once opened and resealed with the included plastic lid, contents remain acceptable for up to one week.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

Mountain House Diced Beef suits emergency preparedness households, overlanders, and camp cooks who want a high-protein, shelf-stable beef ingredient that rehydrates quickly without refrigeration. The #10 can format is especially practical for feeding families or groups, or for building a long-term food supply.

Mountain House Diced Beef is a single-ingredient beef component intended to be added to recipes, not served as a complete meal on its own. The can is sold by weight, not volume, so apparent fill level varies; it is not suited for buyers expecting a volume-filled container. Once opened, contents should be used within one week even when resealed.

Common Questions

Can Mountain House Diced Beef be rehydrated with cold water?

Mountain House Diced Beef can be rehydrated with cold or room-temperature water when hot water is unavailable. Cold-water rehydration takes approximately twice as long as hot-water preparation. Hot water produces the fastest result, with the beef ready to eat in under 10 minutes.

The Mountain House Diced Beef #10 can contains 15 servings. Each serving is 2/3 cup (32g) of dry meat, providing 140 calories and 27g of protein. The can may be prepared all at once for a group or scooped out one serving at a time.

How long can the can be stored after opening?

Once opened, Mountain House Diced Beef should ideally be used immediately. When resealed with the included plastic lid, the contents have been found acceptable for up to one week after opening. The sealed, unopened can carries a 30-Year Taste Guarantee.

Is this product free of common allergens and artificial additives?

Mountain House Diced Beef is dairy free, gluten free, and contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no preservatives. The only ingredients are beef and salt. Buyers with specific allergen concerns should verify the current label, as packaging may vary.

How is Mountain House Diced Beef used in cooking?

Mountain House Diced Beef is precooked before freeze drying, so it substitutes directly for cooked beef in soups, stews, chili, rice dishes, or similar recipes. Rehydrate the needed portion with water, then add it to the dish as the recipe directs.
