"Complete with sticks of real spicy sausage, this zesty, two-serving meal might just change your attitude regarding just-add-water meals. Try the equally satisfying Dottie's Chicken & Dumplings or Pumpkin Cheesecake."

Contains a backpacking superfood - red beans!
Red beans are amazingly high in fiber, which will not only help to lower your cholesterol, but because they take longer to digest, you’ll feel full longer.

    This was one big meal and it took my big pot to cook it in. My only issue with it was that it was not quite the two people serving that it was supposed to be. I cooked this up one evening and got to eating as soon as it was cool enough to poke in my mouth. This was a tasty meal that I will use again on the trail. It tasted too good to keep out of my food sack and it was nice and filling. Best of all, there was just enough left for cold breakfast in the morning.

    One thing I would do different is to soak the ingredients for about ten minutes before cooking. I think this would make sure that the sausage and beans were good and ready to cook. They were pretty well done after following the cooking instructions, but I am pretty sure a little more pre-soak time would make a great meal just a little better.
