Backpacking Recipe: Maple Sweet Grits

A simple twist packs protein into this down-home favorite.

by: Lenora Dannelke

2 cups water
1/2 cup instant powdered milk
dash salt
1/2 cup quick grits
1/2 cup maple syrup
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

In camp

Bring water to boil in a medium pan. Stir in powdered milk, salt, grits, and maple syrup. Reduce heat; continue stirring for about 5 minutes until mixture has thickened to the consistency of oatmeal. Pour into serving bowls and top with bacon. Serves two as a main dish, four as a side.

Simplify

Use precooked bacon.
