Assuming you can stand to eat the stuff (I can't!), you can divide the 2-person meal between two 1-qt. plastic freezer bags, so you have two separate 1-peron meals. (For long-term storage, keep in freezer.) I prefer to make up large batches of homemade 1-dish meals and use my dehydrator. Your Mileage May Vary, of course.

The most important thing, IMHO, is to test individual meals at home before preparing or buying in bulk. If it doesn't taste good, or won't rehydrate under camping conditions (I'm thinking of some home-dried peas that were still the consistency of buckshot after 20 minutes' cooking), you want to find out at home, not out on the trail! Ditto if half a 2-person meal isn't enough for you! You may find that half a 2-person meal isn't enough while a 2-person meal is too much (giving you soggy garbage to carry out). In this case, you could divide two 2 person packages into 3 portions.
