Well here is how we made cheese cake from MREs in the army.

Ingredients (gathered from MREs):
1 Foil Packet of Crackers
1 Foil packet of squeeze cheese spread
1 packet of cherry drink mix
1 sugar packet
1 creamer packet
2 cups hot water.

a. Drop the foil packet of crackers on the ground and stomp on it with boots until you are sure the crackers are powdered inside. Carefully open along one seam of the packet retaining as much as the packet as possible.

b. Put foil packet of cheese spread in under arm or crotch area in order to warm it.

c. Add other dry ingredients to crushed crackers inside the foil packet.

d. Add cheese spread.

e. Lastly add just enough hot water to wet all the ingredients, turning it into a thick doughy mass.

Allow it to cool. Eat and enjoy!
Variation- Add Lemon/Lime drink mix instead of Cherry for Key Lime Pie.”

“Birch has all sorts of creapy MRE ingredient mix and match recipes too. You fellas should write a "cook" book. I seem to recall one with applesauce, ham steak, fruit drink powder and some other weirdness.”

“i like having breakfast burritos... scrambled eggs with cheese and peppers and sausage on tortillas... mmm... good..”

“full moon, you just named my favorite too...can't beat em on the trail.....and don't forget that Joe...............”

“freaks, all of ya.”

“After eating nothing but MRE's for 3 months straight we had lots of recipes, mainly revolving around the cheese pack. One of my favorites was mixing the cheese and tiny bottle of Tobasco sauce with my Meatballs Beef and Rice in Spicy Tom Sauce. Another favorite was spreading the cheese on top of a warmed up omelette and having a ham and cheese omelette.
Because I was a tanker we always had hot food. The exhaust from a tank engine is right around 900 degrees fahrenheit and we hammered two lids from a .30 cal ammo box into the exhaust grid and used that as a bracket to hold a tray to cook on. If that failed and we were stopped in a non tactical environment we would pull the #&%!$ plate off the engine and lay the meals directly on the step plate over the turbine.”

“SC, you say that like you are surprised. :p”

“If you go to a website, i dont remember what it is called, it was like, Bill and Carla's backpacking site, it shows a lot of really good backpacking recipes.
