Breakfast Taters
Ingredients:
1⁄2 cup instant mashed potatoes

3 Tbsp shelf stable bacon or bacon bits

Mug method:
Add ½ cup boiling water and mix well. Add a bit more water if needed. Let cool.

Notes:
When hiking in very hot weather, a good helping of potatoes will help you absorb water better and can ward off painful leg cramps.
Cheese sauce powder can be found online or in some grocery stores. You can use cheese sauce powder from boxed mac and cheese, or use 1-ounce cheddar cheese, diced up, and added in with the water as well.
