Dab's Smash Burger with Secret Sauce

Dab's Smash Burger with Secret Sauce

grill-seasoned ground beef with the works - tomato, cheddar cheese & diced onions

We don’t know about you, but the number one food that we crave after a long trip in the backcountry is a good-ole hamburger.

With that in mind, we designed a ¼-lb seasoned burger wrap that's lightweight, uses only 3oz of water to rehydrate and tastes amazing! Featuring "the works" [cheddar cheese, ripe red tomatoes and sweet white onions] and our special "secret sauce" – you won't have to wait to savor the flavor of a "burger." 

Wrapped in a BYO-tortilla or enjoyed as a burger bowl, the Dab's is sure to satisfy those backcountry burger cravings!

UPDATE for long-time buyers of our All-American Works Burger, the Dab's is the latest and greatest version of our classic trail burger! Now featuring a larger serving size, higher calories, less sodium and more fiber and micronutrients (thanks lentils!), the Dab's has it all!
In our fight against micro-trash, we've mixed "the works" directly into the burger resulting in less mess and smaller footprint. And amping up our own powdered "secret sauce" allowed us to achieve that classic burger flavor that everyone loves - without condiment packets. Prefer your burger with extra ketchup or mustard? Go ahead and add on those condiments for free!

Why wait until after the trip to get that burger you're craving? "This actually tastes like it came off the grill," says one tester. The meat is a little crumbly but not dry; wrap it in a tortilla (BYO) with ketchup, mayo, mustard and relish (included in separate packets, so yes, you can have it your way). Testers also really liked this company's deli-style Roast Beef Wrap.

frequently asked questions

What is Gluten Conscious?
 
Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
 

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

    Exceptional! My favorite! After having backpacked for almost 40 years, I have finally found great tasting trail meals. This All American Works Burger is packed with great burger flavor! I absolutely love this meal. FYI, I mixed all the condiments and the cheese into the meat pouch after steeping it. Stirred it up and dished it out of the pouch into the tortilla. Truly an exceptional backpacking meal!

    Easy prep and the condiments make it better. I like my food spicy hot but these burgers would have been better with less pepper. It was a bit overpowering on the pepper flavor.

    Ok, so this was my first time trying any dehydrated meals other then my own. I have to say, the burger works was really really good. It hit the spot and was simple to make and used very minimal water, which i liked. It was a bit salty yes. If i was banging out the miles and sweating a lot, then i wouldn't mind. But for short distance hiking, this is a concern as i dont need all the sodium. Why not create a few low sodium meals? Im sure they would sell just as quick, if not quicker. Besides that, it tastes great and yes i would eat it again, just cautiously.

    The All-American Works Burger really hit the spot after a long day of hiking. I was skeptical about a burger with your BYO tortilla, but it really was good. Of all the meals I purchased, this one was the best.

    This is my son and eyes all time favorite meal while backpacking! Super easy to make. Cannot describe the flavors in enough words. It's a little early like eating a Burger off of the grill. We just bought more for an upcoming section hike. And it's very tempting to not eat it between now and then.

    Pleasantly surprised at how much burger flavor this had. I’m from the Deep South and good food makes everything better, definitely hit the spot after a long day. Wish it would’ve came with two or more of each of the condiments but I will be sure to pack more next time. Kids even made me share mine

    Why wait until after the trip to get that burger you're craving? "This actually tastes like it came off the grill," says one tester. The meat is a little crumbly but not dry; wrap it in a tortilla (BYO) with ketchup, mayo, mustard and relish (included in separate packets, so yes, you can have it your way). Testers also really liked this company's deli-style Roast Beef Wrap.

    frequently asked questions

    What is Gluten Conscious?
     
    Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
    Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
     

    We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

      Exceptional! My favorite! After having backpacked for almost 40 years, I have finally found great tasting trail meals. This All American Works Burger is packed with great burger flavor! I absolutely love this meal. FYI, I mixed all the condiments and the cheese into the meat pouch after steeping it. Stirred it up and dished it out of the pouch into the tortilla. Truly an exceptional backpacking meal!

      Easy prep and the condiments make it better. I like my food spicy hot but these burgers would have been better with less pepper. It was a bit overpowering on the pepper flavor.

      Ok, so this was my first time trying any dehydrated meals other then my own. I have to say, the burger works was really really good. It hit the spot and was simple to make and used very minimal water, which i liked. It was a bit salty yes. If i was banging out the miles and sweating a lot, then i wouldn't mind. But for short distance hiking, this is a concern as i dont need all the sodium. Why not create a few low sodium meals? Im sure they would sell just as quick, if not quicker. Besides that, it tastes great and yes i would eat it again, just cautiously.

      The All-American Works Burger really hit the spot after a long day of hiking. I was skeptical about a burger with your BYO tortilla, but it really was good. Of all the meals I purchased, this one was the best.

      This is my son and eyes all time favorite meal while backpacking! Super easy to make. Cannot describe the flavors in enough words. It's a little early like eating a Burger off of the grill. We just bought more for an upcoming section hike. And it's very tempting to not eat it between now and then.

      Pleasantly surprised at how much burger flavor this had. I’m from the Deep South and good food makes everything better, definitely hit the spot after a long day. Wish it would’ve came with two or more of each of the condiments but I will be sure to pack more next time. Kids even made me share mine
