5 lbs Rainbow Rotini, cooked and drained 3 lbs cooked cubed chicken (haven't tried TVP or tofu yet, sorry!) 5 jars sauce (tomato, alfredo, whatever!) Optional: 3+ lbs of whatever veggies are around (broccoli, carrots, corn, etc.) Spices to taste Pitch all ingredients into the biggest pot you can find, stir well, heat until warmed through. Feeds a huge crowd (our record was 30 with leftovers) for cheap; toss the leftovers in the empty sauce jars for late arrivals or next-day meals. My "kids" (pack of teenagers in our friendfamily) love it and ask for it whenever we go on camping trips. With veggies, it's a one-bowl balanced meal with a minimum of cleanup. Campsite instructions: Cook cubed chicken at home and bring in bags; same for pasta if you don't feel like messing with it. Price: Pasta - $5 Chicken - $5 Sauce - $5 Veggies - $3 (everything on sale, of course!) Total: $18, or 60c/ person. Add $1 (yay for Jiffy Mix being on sale!) and make cornbread to go with, if you've got time.
