Peak Refuel Venison Country Casserole Freeze-Dried Meal

The Peak Refuel Venison Country Casserole is a freeze-dried backcountry meal built around 100% real venison sourced from Durham Ranch in Gillette, Wyoming, served in a creamy sauce with rice, onion, carrots, and green beans. The sealed pouch delivers 40 grams of protein and 920 calories across two servings, ready to eat in 10 minutes with 8 oz of boiling water. Each pouch is made and packaged in the USA and carries a 10-year shelf life when sealed.

Real Venison, Not a Filler Protein

The venison in this meal comes from Durham Ranch in Gillette, Wyoming, a named, traceable source rather than a generic protein blend. For hunters and backcountry travelers who care what goes into their food, knowing the protein is ground deer meat rather than textured vegetable protein or artificial filler matters. The creamy sauce is built around that venison, not around it.

40 Grams of Protein in a 10-Minute Meal

At 40 grams of protein per pouch and 920 calories total, the Venison Country Casserole is designed to replace a full camp dinner after a long day on trail or in the field, not just take the edge off hunger. Preparation requires only 8 oz of boiling water and a 10-minute wait, which keeps fuel consumption low and gets food on the table fast when conditions are cold or daylight is short.

10-Year Shelf Life for Long-Term Readiness

Peak Refuel certifies a 10-year shelf life on sealed pouches, which means the Venison Country Casserole works equally well as a rotation staple in an emergency kit or a meal packed months in advance for a planned expedition. The oxygen absorber inside the pouch is removed before adding water; the resealable zip closure lets you eat directly from the pouch with no dishes required.
