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.

    Made two big tortillas full of burger and extras...I had some extra avocado to add to mine. Very satisfying.

    I tried this after two days of paddling the south fork of the Shenandoah. I have a hietal hernia and spicey, "texmex" is off my menu. That said, this is exactly what I found this "burger" to be. While the quality was good the taste was much more akin to a spicey taco than to a burger or cheese burger. The idea is sound but the execution left a bit to be desired I am afraid.

    This was really good although the name is misleading. The meat is more akin to taco meat, with pieces of onion and a spicy sauce. Instead of having them as burgers, I opted to mix up some cheese sauce powder and added green chili salsa(both also from packit gourmet). I ended up with two good sized burritos that tasted great.

    This is one yummy meal. My brother and I enjoyed the All American Burger Wrap (actually, we had two) after a long day hiking in the Ochoco Mountains in Central Oregon. We were pretty hungry after a long day hiking on and off trail, and this meal really hit the spot. We both had "the works" to go along with the burger, and it all tasted like a real hamburger. This meal will definitely be a regular in my pack from now on. Oh, and one other thing for multi day backpackers who might end up having to (planned or otherwise) spend the night at a dry camp, this meal only takes 1.5 oz of water. Helpful if water is at a premium.

    Bought a few items to try prior to my first big backpack trip and was really surprised when the "burger" was done, how DARN TASTY it was. I can just imagine heating it up again around a fire with friends. CAN'T WAIT!!

    I have had this a few times now and it has become a staple for my wife and I. We usually skip the fixings, add taco seasoning (about a quarter package), cheese and hot sauce to have some great soft tacos! If you haven't tried this yet, you need to!

    I wanted so badly to like this meal. I was very excited about eating it while on the trail. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Maybe mine was a fluke, but it had TONS of black pepper and other spices (already mixed in the beef). Way way wayyyy too much seasoning. It was so strong I couldn't eat it. Maybe include that in a separate packet & I would purchase it again.

    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.

      Made two big tortillas full of burger and extras...I had some extra avocado to add to mine. Very satisfying.

      I tried this after two days of paddling the south fork of the Shenandoah. I have a hietal hernia and spicey, "texmex" is off my menu. That said, this is exactly what I found this "burger" to be. While the quality was good the taste was much more akin to a spicey taco than to a burger or cheese burger. The idea is sound but the execution left a bit to be desired I am afraid.

      This was really good although the name is misleading. The meat is more akin to taco meat, with pieces of onion and a spicy sauce. Instead of having them as burgers, I opted to mix up some cheese sauce powder and added green chili salsa(both also from packit gourmet). I ended up with two good sized burritos that tasted great.

      This is one yummy meal. My brother and I enjoyed the All American Burger Wrap (actually, we had two) after a long day hiking in the Ochoco Mountains in Central Oregon. We were pretty hungry after a long day hiking on and off trail, and this meal really hit the spot. We both had "the works" to go along with the burger, and it all tasted like a real hamburger. This meal will definitely be a regular in my pack from now on. Oh, and one other thing for multi day backpackers who might end up having to (planned or otherwise) spend the night at a dry camp, this meal only takes 1.5 oz of water. Helpful if water is at a premium.

      Bought a few items to try prior to my first big backpack trip and was really surprised when the "burger" was done, how DARN TASTY it was. I can just imagine heating it up again around a fire with friends. CAN'T WAIT!!

      I have had this a few times now and it has become a staple for my wife and I. We usually skip the fixings, add taco seasoning (about a quarter package), cheese and hot sauce to have some great soft tacos! If you haven't tried this yet, you need to!

      I wanted so badly to like this meal. I was very excited about eating it while on the trail. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Maybe mine was a fluke, but it had TONS of black pepper and other spices (already mixed in the beef). Way way wayyyy too much seasoning. It was so strong I couldn't eat it. Maybe include that in a separate packet & I would purchase it again.
