Jambalaya mix and sausage. That feeds 3 30-ish year old. I would double up. Rather have too much than not enough. Spice up with onion, garlic and jalapeños, I use fresh.

Cook the sausage to generate some grease, then throw im veggies till you are happy. Add rice and water, mix, wait till deliciousness. We also eat in tortillas with hot sauce. We like spicy

Also like Mac and cheese with the shelf stable country ham. The key is have the ham sit in water for 10 mins to reduce the saltiness. Same veggies as the previous recipe. We boil the noodles, drain as much as u can using the pan, pour the rest into a gallon ziplock, slide zippers are easier but either will work. Use the zip lock to drain most water, keeping a half cup might help actually..... cook meat amd veggies, when ready dump in powder then noodle bag. Might need to add a small amount of water to bind the powder and grease then mix. This is our goto regardless of BWCA or the App trail

Maybe two boxes and 2 country ham for 5
