Black Bear on Toast

This is a simple breakfast that sticks to the ribs. My family has always called it "Black Bear on Toast", but really it's just Dried Beef gravy on toast.

Ingredients

• Dried Beef (Stuff that comes in a jar)
• Corn Starch
• Salt/Pepper
• Butter
• Milk (Powdered)
• Bread (english muffins work good)

At Home

The ratio is one table spoon of corn starch to a cup of milk. Figure out how much powdered milk you need to make a cup and mix that in with one table spoon of corn starch (e.g. three tbsp corn starch + three cups of powdered milk). Put this into a zip lock bag and with a black marker label what it is and how much water to add. Chop up the dried beef and add this to the zip lock bag as well

In Camp

1. Add the correct amount of water to your corn starch / powdered milk bag.
2. Heat slowly in a pot, constantly stir it (milk scorches easily).
3. Add salt and pepper to your gravy mix.
4. Toast some bread (throw butter on both sides and put it in a skillet is one way).
5. Pour the gravy over the toast and eat.
