I've seen alot of creative Rangers out there come up with some delicious MRE concoctions. Please share any delicious ideas or terrible ones for that matter in this thread.

Hands down my favorite came from my Ranger buddy SSG Orsi of the Georgia National Guard.

MRE:
Beef stew
Ingriedients:
1x package of mixed nuts
1x packet of cocoa beverage powder
1x peanut butter
1x package of pretzels

mix altogether and heat up.

Tastes deeeelicious! Sweet & Salty and very filling!

I just kept it simple and mixed water with my cocoa to make some pudding. Kill!

I never went to Ranger School, but in my food boredom during the early stages of OIF1 before KBR got on the FOB, we got very creative with our MREs. My two favorites were:

1) MRE Pad Thai - The old Chow Mein Noodle MRE, add some pieces of chicken breast, peanut butter and add sugar to personal taste.

2) Teriyaki Chicken & Rice - Teriyaki MRE, added to rice and add sugar and pineapples.

Key Lime Pie: lemon-lime drink mix, crumbled up crackers, sugar, creamer, and a little bit of water. Add the crackers after mixing in the water.

Ants on a Ranger Bar: Take a first strike bar or a Ranger bar. Heat up some peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter. Drizzle on top of bar. Add M&M's or Recees Pieces.

Chili with beans and cornbread: Mix cornbread into heated up chili with beans. Add whatever else you can (cheese, salt, hot sauce).

Ranger Cookie: pour sugar packet into creamer packet, light on fire. Rumor has it this caramelizes the sugar and makes a cookie. I've never been brave enough to try it- I just pixie stick it after mixing the two.

Irish cream or chocolate drink mix: cut in half, pour in a little water. Makes a great paste to spread on a Ranger bar or anything else you want.

Maple Sausage MRE: Melt the syrup, mix with chopped up pancake thing and add nut mix.

That's off the top of my head. Most of the time I only remember the good ones when I'm in the field.

You have to trade around to get the ingredients.
Chicken Quesadilla. Take on taco and spread heated up jalapeño cheese spread on it, take the other and fill with the chicken fajita filling. And the retried beans. Put the cheese covered taco on the outside of the chicken taco and enjoy

Dehydrated fruit mix, crackers, creamer, and sugar. Then eat it with crackers just to make believer there's still a flaky crust.
