Have you guys tried the Marie Callenders dry-pac bowl dishes for camping? They're far better tasting than other dry-pac camping foods I've tried. They come in an oblong bowl designed for microwave cooking and contain a "sauce" pak and dried pasta soaked in some kind of oil. The sauce pac actually contains meat. Some months ago I bought several different flavors for an extended camping trip which didn't materialize. Now, I'm eating them sans microwave before the "Best By" date expires. They're good!
Add 1 cup of water and the sauce pac and the pasta to a metal camping or campfire pot or pan, and bring it to a boil. Stir, let sit for five minutes, boil again, let cool a little and eat. I swear, the meatball lasagna actually had marble-sized meatballs in the sauce pac, and the taste was better than some I've eaten in restaurants.
Best I remember, the cost was circa $2.50 at Wal-Mart. One pac/bowl was more than plenty for one, and with an added side would be more than plenty for two. It's good stuff, guys!!
