Mine is fairly simple and nothing special, but requires at least an MRE with ham slice (don't remember if it's made anymore?), 1 pack of buttered noodles and 2 packs of cheese.
Heat and mix all three main ingredients in the outer MRE wrapper to make a simple ham casserole. You can add tobasco if you'd like but this is not bad.
I've only had the oppurtunity to eat a whole MRE a few times. Most other times it's bits and pieces and cold. I'm sure a troop or two here can relate.

Apple Cobbler: Heat one packet spiced apples, add one pack regular crackers(not vegetable), add 2 packets creamer, and 2 packets sugar, stir and add water for desired consistancy and to soften crackers, stir vigorously and you will think your back home eating you mother's apple cobbler minus the vanilla ice cream.

hey RL - will you accept recipies for multiple C-Rats - I've got a great 'Ranger Stew' recipe - can you even find C's anymore, or LRRPs.
C's did make for a heavy Ruck, and noisy too if packed wrong. But, Chocolate Nut Cake or the Peaches, Quartered in Heavy Syrup almost made up for it, almost....
We only had Gen 1 and Gen 2 MREs while I was in, tasted like the wrappers.

Tear open along one side.
Eat with included spoon.

I had a case of C's up until a year ago. I had them since 1970.  The Pound Cake was a favorite. I thought the LRRP's were pretty good. Whether it were C's or LRRP's, Tabasco was the fix all. Is that still common today with the MRE's? Well at least it's a simple recipe. Almost as simple as mffjm's.

Ok, my favorite recipe-
open one can "Eggs, Chopped with Ham" (ususally green and smelling sulfurous, like the food from hell it was), overturn can, dump into slit trench / cat hole, bury. Find something else to eat. Save can for use as a C-4 stove.

The only thing I'd add to that recipe:
for a hot meal, place main meal in pocket for 1 hour, remove and serve immediately.

Brew-
drill / burn hole in spoon handle, and hang on dog tags next to P-38 (that pokes holes in your chest, but is indispensible if you ever need to open any type of can) and St Michael Medal.
Now for an old MRE recipe:
beef stew, crushed crackers, cheese and tabasco - actually pretty good
