... sort of.

Take one steel pot... liner and cover removed.

Set fire to chunk of C-4.

Put homemade can stove over burning C-4.

Add numerous C-rat can contents to helmet, and put on stove. (Usually add only entree items, but really, what difference did it make?) With enough other entrees/whatever, you might as well throw in the Ham and Mothers. Everything you eat just turned to shit anyway.

Stir and break up identifiable chunks.

Serve piping hot to your fire team/gun/tube crew.

Enjoy.
