Before anything - I'd like to give credit to the above author from Backpacking Chef. This website has given me TONS of ideas and expanded the capabilities and meals for backpacking. Look for great info on dehydrating food & packing meals with high calories & low weight!
¼ C deli ham, dried
¼ C dried peas (or whatever dehydrated veggies you have)
½ c macaroni
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp cheddar cheese powder
1 Tbsp powdered milk
1¼ Cups water
At Home:
Combine ham, vegetables, and macaroni in a 4 x 6 plastic bag.
Combine cheese powder and instant dry milk in a 2 X 3 plastic bag. Enclose the smaller bag in the larger bag and seal.
Note: For the larger portion, use a sandwich size bag and pack the milk and cheese powders in two 2 X 3 bags.
On the Trail:
Add all ingredients except the cheese/milk powder to your pot with water. Allow contents to rehydrate for five minutes.
Light stove, bring to a boil, and continue cooking with the lid on for two minutes.
Stir in cheese/milk powder, put the lid back on, and place pot into insulating pot cozy or warm jacket/hat. Wait ten minutes for the meal to continue rehydrating and cooking inside the cozy or jacket/hat.
Note: powdered cheese & milk can be found at Winco in the bulk section!
