What are some easy meals to make while camping?

Question

Beside from the obvious roasted hot dog.

Answer 1

   May I suggest a meal, that isn't tough, but will make you camp hero?    LOTS of aluminum foil.  Fresh fish fillets.  Potatos.  Onion.  Salt and pepper.  Lay out 18" foil.  Layer 1" chunks of potato on foil.  Lay a couple fillets on potatos.  Put a few slices of onion on fish.  Salt and pepper.  Wrap tightly, anf lay by fire for about 20 min- depending on fire.  Done when potato is soft.  No need to peel the spuds.  Eat dinner right out of the foil.  Fit for a king.  Fresh lemon is great here.  This sounds liker a lot of work, but really takes about 20 minutes prep.  I must make clear, these are like camp tv dinners.  Each person gets their own foil bundle- each bundle a meal.

Answer 2

Any dry pasta or noodles. Simply add hot water

Answer 3

Roasted open fire hot dogs kick ***.  Make sure to put them lengthwise on the stick, not widthwise.

Spaghetti

Steak & fettucine

Sandwiches (make/buy before you go)

Summer sausage & wheat thins make a quick meal

Bacon & eggs (two pans going on the camp stove)

Brown & drain fat from hamburger before you leave and mix it with Hamburger Helper.  Sprinkle w/cheese.  It's easy too

Just about anything cooked outdoors tastes good!

Answer 4

rice, black beans, and sausage

bring yeast, salt, flour, cheese, and tomato sauce to make your own pizza (not easy but fun)

pasta with some sauce and meat (really easy)

dehydrated hashbrowns and cheese

tortillas and peanutbutter

bean,corn,rice,chicken burrito

pancakes (premix the dry ingredients and add water to cook fairly easily)

regular cereal and dehydrated milk (sounds gross, not bad at all)

don't worry about lunch, snack through it

make your own cornbread (Same deal as the pancakes, tho a little more time-consuming)

wrap steak and marinade in tin foil and stick it in coals

-anything that you like to eat at home you can normally accomodate for camping

Answer 5

I am shocked that nobody has said the obvious:  Hobos

You cut up some potatoes (this can be done before you leave as long as you keep them in cool water); add some celery and carrots - maybe green beans. Add whatever you feel would taste nice.  Mix this with cube steak and a hunk of better.

Wrap it in aluminum foil and place on the edge of the fire to cook for 45 minutes to an hour.

Enjoy...

Answer 7

for breakfast I fill plastic baggies full of my cereal of choice and when I'm hungry I just fill with milk from the ice chest. I make them before i go so its an instant meal with little clean up involved.

Answer 8

You can approach this from several angles.  You already know about hotdogs and s'mores, right?  And hamburgers, I'm sure.  But if you want something a little classier, then you gotta plan ahead and bring along some utensils other than a sharp stick to poke through the hotdogs.  What a lot of folks do is bring a cookpot and pre-packaged freeze-dried meals they purchase at an outdoors store like Bass Pro or Gander Mountain...you can even order 'em online from Cabela's sporting goods catalog.  

Or you can haul picnic coolers with the fixin's to prepare a variety of sandwiches using ground ham, cold cuts, bread and mayonnaise, (I prefer to bring stuffed pita pockets)...heck, use your imagination!
