I was cooking for a summer camp and we had to evacuate for to a nearby wildfire, leaving everything behind in the kitchen. I relocated to a nearby campground out of danger, but had no food or equipment to feed myself. Dollar General was the only store around. This is one of the meals I created using a $15 pan and a few basic ingredients that I bought there, and that required minimal wash-up. I hope you enjoy it.
