Although I've been using the Enertia freeze-dried entrees for supper, I'll second the Knorr Side Dishes idea. I used to use them a lot, and with the advent of chicken and salmon in a pouch, may do so again. I went with the Enertia mostly because of ease in preparation: no "bring to a boil...add mix...simmer 10 minutes, let stand" nonsense. It also avoids the possibility of food scorching onto the bottom of my Jetboil pot.

However, I just picked up an Optimus Crux stove and heat exchanger aluminum pot; if the stove is simmerable, I may return to the Knorr way. Cheddar-Broccoli Rice, yummm...
