Camping meal ideas?

[usmcveteran]

What do you all like to make while camping? Any suggestions for me? I will have grill grate, cast iron skillet, and Dutch oven for cooking items.

Thanks!

What kind of camping?

[usmcveteran]

Canoe camping, so I'll have a cooler but I'm not going back to town or anything to get more stuff

I'm a fan of tortilla pizzas for lunch or dinner. You can then use leftover tortillas for breakfast burritos.

[big flash]

how many people are you serving?

how about like a no.10 mountain house breakfast skillet? easier to pack than eggs, no cooler required. would also go great in a a burrito.

i like chili and stew camping. also hamburger helper type meals are easy and scrumptious.
i always will do at least one meal with sausages and another with zweigles! both you can freeze before putting in the cooler.
we often do foil dinners in the fire, pre-made. they work out great as there is nothing to cleanup.
also, those pasta side dishes that are bagged and easy in a skillet.

I assume you'll be fishing, so make sure you bring some things that go good on fresh fish! lemons, etc

just realized that i need to bust out my dutch oven and get more creative next campout!

One pot cooking is key to me in the woods. I hate doing dishes as it is, so I try to minimize it as much as possible in the woods without running water.

I'm a huge fan of pre-made foil dinners. Drop them in the coals of your fire for a half hour / 45 minuters and enjoy.

Just two people to feed so I don't need huge amounts of food

[usmcveteran]

Premade foil dinners.... Is the fire just to reheat?

[camper4lyfe]

If that's how you want to do it, that's perfectly fine. It'll save you huge amounts of time if you cook some, or all of it, ahead of time. Cooking burger and pasta ahead of time is a huge time (and fuel) saver.

I was just wondering more about what they were. Still looking for more ideas.
