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
