Thanksgiving Recipe!

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

Well, I know some of us wil be out on the trail this weekend :-)
This is one of my favorite meals for the trail:

Chicken & Cranberry Gravy With Mashed Potatoes:

In a quart freezer bag put-

1 cup instant mashed potatoes

1 tsp butter buds/molly McButter

fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1 tsp dried chives

In a second freezer bag put-

1 pouch chicken gravy mix (the add 1 cup water type)

1/2 cup Craisins

Also take a 7 oz foil pouch of chicken.

In camp add 1 cup boiling water to the potatoes, stir well. Add 1 cup boiling water to the gravy

mix, stir well, add chicken. Let sit in a cozy for 5 minutes. Stir again, pour over potatoes and eat!

Feeds 2 hikers..though I’d suggest if you are a huge eater, bring along a bag of seasoned green beans (freeze dried) as a side veggie…and maybe some crusty bread for the gravy!

wonderful recipe. never knew it was this easy to eat well on the trail. also, easy to modify to suit to taste, e.g. i’ll use the Craisins for dessert.

i don’t know what “butter buds/molly McButter” are.

[Sarah Kirkconnell]

They are butter flavored flakes you can pick up in the spice section at any store….think salt and butter together :-)
You can also find butter powder (no salt) thru some mail order companies.
I know Craisins sound weird..but it works :-D

Chicken, Gravy & Stuffing:

1 1/2 Cups Stovetop stuffing mix

1 pouch chicken or turkey gravy (use a “Makes 1 cup” size package)

1 pouch or can of chicken or turkey (for can use the 5 oz. version, for pouch use the 7 oz. size.)

Put the stuffing in a quart freezer bag, and the gravy mix in another.

In camp pour 1 cup boiling water in the gravy, stir well, and add the chicken or turkey, stir again

and seal well. Pop in cozy. To the stuffing bag, add 3/4 cup boiling water, stir and seal well.. Put
in cozy, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff up the stuffing, and pour the gravy over it.

Feeds one hungry hiker.
