Thanksgiving in the woods

I was looking for a "just add water" recipe for camping and found this. Even my wife liked it and that is saying a lot. I can't find the recipe anymore so I thought I would post it here before I forget how to make it again. One bag will fill me up easily and it weighs next to nothing. You can substitute beef jerky and it will still be very good. Make sure to use a dry jerky if you want to be able to store it for a long time. Beef sticks are too oily and may go rancid quickly but if you use a dry jerky it will store for close to a year or more if you get most of the air out.
