Vern:
You are right on. I have been using Lypton/Knorr dehydrated casseroles for several years. They are tastey, inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to prepare. I like to add some meat, same as you. Pre-cooked bacon wieghs very little and adds just a little zest.
Can't get them here for $1 each though. Too bad. Backpackers in your neighborhood, should scarf up as many as they can while they can.
