New to dehydrating foods and need help?

My wife and I want to dehydrate veggies and meats to use in stews and other meals for when we go backpacking. We dont want to buy pre made foods cuz we wanna save money. But we are about as creative as a pet rock. Our only recipe right now calls for dehydrated meat, potatoes, celery, onions and carrots mixed with some rice and bullion cubes. Its pretty good but its really gonna get old fast. Anyone have any other recipes for us? Were looking for stuff we can make on the trail with a small stove in a canteen cup. Thanks in advance!
