Equipment

  • camp kitchen equipment (including camping stove, cooking pot, utensils, etc.)

Materials

  • 1 serving dehydrated black beans and rice

Instructions

  • Empty the dehydrated sausage gravy dry mix contents of the zip-top bag into your cooking pot.
  • Pour in enough water to cover the dry mix, then add a tad bit more.
  • Cover, and let the dry ingredients hydrate in your camp cookware for at least five minutes.  Stir all of the way to the bottom now and again.
  • Next, on your cooking stove and over a medium flame, bring the black beans and rice mix to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • After bringing the black beans and rice mix to a boil, turn the stove down to a low simmer for two minutes.
  • After two or more minutes of simmering and stirring, turn off the stove and move the pot into an insulated wrap or cozy to rest and hydrate for 15 to 20 minutes or more for the flavors to blend and the ingredients to fully reconstitute.

Notes

Repurpose the heavy-duty paper towels for the after-meal cleanup activities.
