Cooking before packaging - none
Cooking in camp - boiling water

At Home:
This recipe is 3 main dish servings

Package in a baggie, sandwich to quart size, depending on how many you are feeding:

1 1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes
1/3 cup powdered milk
6 T. Butter buds
1 T. dried parsley flakes
1 T. dried onion bits
1/2 t salt
pepper
1 powdered cheese packet from a cheap box of macaroni and cheese
1/2 cup bacon bits (you can use real bacon, but you will need to use the meal within about a week or the bacon goes rancid. Fake bacon bits keep better).

Add a small slip of paper with the in-camp directions. You will thank yourself later.

In Camp:
boil 1 c. water for each serving (eg. for the recipe above you would boil 3 c. water).
Add the mix, remove from heat, stir and let it sit a few minutes. Stir again to fluff and serve. Add a little more water if too dry.
