Because it is real meat, and due to the complicated nature of the freeze-drying process, freeze-dried meats are not cheap! If you are needing to stay on a budget for these, you can substitute a vegetarian meat substitute known as TVP, or &#8220;textured vegetable protein&#8221;. It is soy-based, and made to have a similar taste and texture to the &#8220;real&#8221; stuff. For this recipe, if you decide to use TVP, I recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2M564Go\">Taco Flavored TVP<\/a> for best flavor.<br\/><br\/><em>If you are needing to keep costs down and want to avoid using TVP, another option is to make this soup recipe as written but leave out the freeze-dried meat altogether.  Then, you can add fresh cooked ground beef or canned meat when you go to make the soup.<\/em><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699149967143\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use regular dry beans in this recipe instead of quick-cook beans?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No.  Quick-cook beans are ones that have been partially cooked and then dehydrated.  Because of this, they don&#8217;t take nearly as much time to reconstitute and soften when used in meals.<br\/><br\/>Regular dry beans need to be soaked first, and the nature of the meals in a jar makes that hard to do. Plus, the recipe was tested and written specifically to use the quick-cook beans, so cook time and water amounts would need to be changed as well. For that reason I really recommend just sticking with the quick-cook beans here, honestly.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for other great meal in a jar recipes, be sure to
