Basic Meals

I've found that most of my decent meals consist of 1 cup of dried noodles/instant potatoes or rice, 1/2 cup of dried meat, 1/4 cup dried veggies, and one or two gravy/sauce packages.  I usually boil and add about the same amount of water as dried food, so the above meal would get about 2 cups of water.  With some variety, I can eat these for days on end and stay nourished and satisfied.

Meat & Stuffing           1 package - 6 oz of Chicken Stove Top Stuffing, 1/2 to 3/4 cup dried meat of choice, Equivilant of 1/4 cup butter - Possibly Crisco since it's stable @ room temp. or leave out.  Adding dried veggies is very good too. Makes enough for 2 or a supper and leftovers for breakfast. About 960 calories when prepared.

Burger, Brown Gravy, & Potatoes             Large meal for 2 people.  1 lb. burger made 3 cups after dried.  Burger was cooked with salt & pepper and grease left in for butter substitute and added flavor & calories. 2 2/3 C Instant Potatoes - Potato Buds 7-8 Servings, 4 2/3 C Water, 1/4 C Dried Milk, 1 Package Brown Gravy Mix, 2 Teaspoons Beef Bullion.  Could just eat without drying burger or adding water. Tastes like meatballs. Good!  Could use another pack of gravy and/or leave out bullion as it was a little too salty.  Need to double check the amount of water needed. 1650 Calories prepared.
