Cooking before packaging - none
Dehydrate before packaging - sauce, hamburger
Cooking in camp - boiling water and simmer

At Home:
This recipe is 2 main dish servings

Mix together:
8 oz pizza sauce
1/3 c. cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
one small chopped onion
spread this on saran wrap about 1/4 inch thick and let dry to leather

Package in a bag:
4 oz. pasta- elbow macaroni or small rigatoni is good

Dehydrate:
1/4 to 1/2 pound ground beef or sausage
when thoroughly dry, package in a separate bag

When sauce leather is dry, package it with 12 slices of pepperoni cut into small chunks

You now have 3 bags of ingredients. You also need 2 oz of mozzarella cheese (string cheese keeps well, or you may have a block of mozzarella in the lunch bag)

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

In Camp:

If you only have one pan, boil the pasta first, drain and put it in your bowl so you can re-use the pan
boil 2 c. water, add the dried meat and simmer until it is reconstituted
Add the sauce mix to the meat and simmer until smooth and hot
Mix the sauce and meat with the pasta
Cut up the mozzarella into small bits on top and let it melt a bit.

You probably won't have a breakable bowl in camp, but this is what it looks like made up


You can add pretty much anything you like on pizza to this. Cut up and dehydrate bits of green pepper, olives, pineapple, etc. If you like bacon on pizza I suggest using fake bacon bits because the real ones can go rancid.
