What are your favorite campsite meals?

[Rob]

I am kind of in a rut with food when camping and looking for ideas.

My go-to dinners are pretty simple:
-Steak on the BBQ
-Grilled Chicken on the BBQ
-Grilled bratwurst with the usual fixings
-burgers

Basically heat up a piece of meat on the BBQ...

Lunches are usually just some kind of sandwich in the field

Breakfasts I am a bit more creative with.  It can be as simple as a bowl of cereal when I am in a rush, to more elaborate omelets, scrambles, or pancakes paired with country fries etc.

So I am looking for ideas to expand my menu with.  What are your favorite meals when you are camping/hunting?  Specifically:
1.  What are your favorite meals when you have the luxury of time to prepare/cook
2.  What are your favorite meals when you are in a rush, or just want to put food on the table before you collapse into your tent/camper for the night.

The best way I've found to diversify is to cook/prep things ahead of time.  I've starting taking frozen homemade chili and sausage gravy.  Other good things are fajitas, stews, and pastas.  Pretty easy to do if have a wood stove, burner, etc.

My are Pasties. My Finnish inlaws made them and my fatherinlaw would always bring them up to elk camp and just warm them on the wood stove for dinner. They had a come and go style of elk camp where everyone fended for themselves for food but you could come and sleep in the plywood shack they had set up. They even set up an elk camp sauna every year which sound's amazing. I need to figure out how to build one. But I digress.

My wife makes a couple dozen pasties at a time out of a mixture of dear and elk burger and bear sausage and then we throw them in the freezer individually wrapped in tinfoil. They make epic elk camp food.

I also throughout the year when we have leftover soups throw them in ziploc bags or mason jars and freeze them. Then in elk camp you throw the whole bag or jar in a pot of water and warm it up. No dishes.

I like pre-prepping and cooking wildgame while hunting because there is something in me that feels sacrilegious about eating beef or chicken while hunting.

Well since I'm I like to cook in the field I go all out. I plan ahead, way ahead. Pork Loin rolled in dill, Rack of Lamb with sea salt dry rosemary rub topped with fresh rosemary or seasoned long island duck breast BBQ. Cheese Casa Deazas with eggs for breakfast, build your own sandwich for lunch.

Usually do the following for dinner:
DIY personal pizza
Chicken fajitas (save the mixings for next meal)
Quesadilla(mixed with left over fajita filling)

Breakfast:
Cereal, hasbrowns, bacon and eggs, pancakes things like that

Lunch:
We usually make after breakfast and pack up for the day, sandwiches, salads, snacks

Wife will smoke a 5-7 pound meatloaf and I will have leftovers for 3 days. It’s delicious.

We have been doing this, you can either grill it or cook it in the flat top(black stone). The wife uses pork most of the time, cut up a pork shoulder thin slices 1/4”.
 Serve over rice or in those ciabatta rolls from Costco!  We make it ahead like the couple of day before we leave.

Can't argue with any of those choices 

My favorites are Bacon wrapped Elk Backstrap cooked over a fire.
Bacon wrapped Grouse cooked over a fire.
BBQed Rib-eye with sauteed mushrooms and grilled corn on the cob (covered in garlic olive oil and Johnney's Garlic Seasoning)
Hotdogs (good quality hotdogs) preferred over a fire on a stick, but a BBQ Grill will suffice, LOL
For quick heatem up meals, Costco frozen Chicken Patties make great chicken burgers. Just heat them for a couple minutes, add condiments and eat.
Ramon Bowls, Costo has some really good Ramon bowls that you just add hot water to.
For sandwiches that I take in my pack - I only use Sandwich Thins instead of regular bread slices, and pack them with meat and cheese and condiments of your choice.

Oh I forgot to mention fry night!
My dad would always do a fry night in elk camp with either fish or hotwings as the main course, but before that we'd fry anything we wanted to from food we packed or things we'd scavenged. Deepfried chantrelles, boletes, or COW's, jalepenos stuffed with cheese, onions, orrio's, gummy bears, etc. You name it, we fried it.

Just remember your TP the next morning.

Well, of course, fresh liver and heart are #1. Steaks with potatoes or pasta and sauteed wild mushrooms and berries. I use the sous vide method to precook all of my dinner meats and heat up for just a few minutes on the grill. The usual abundance of wild mushrooms really add the zing. Not much for veggies but corn on the cob and something like zucchini are easy to prepare. Anyone who's hunted with me has eaten very well.

  If we're base camping it the wife usually sends a giant container of home made clam chowder. Man that hits the spot after a cold day in the mountains! Pre-making a big lasagna is another good one, then do up a couple sides to go along with it in camp. Also grilled salmon or halibut. Throw in some steaks, potatoes and onions and I'm a happy camper
