Great ideas, appreciate the input! However I don't appreciate the 10 pounds I have put on just by reading the replies...
I will be upping my game for sure with some of these ideas. I think my key takeaway is, I don't do the pre-trip prep. I tend to start everything right before I start cooking. That will speed things up and increase quality and variety of food.
And backcountry ideas are NOT off the table so that does not screw the thread up.
One time on a Mt. Baker climb one of our team members had put a whole large pizza in her pack. Every time we stopped she pulled out a piece to eat. By the time we figured it out she was half way thru the pizza! She had to start being discrete from that point on as we were all quite jealous and not above stealing.

Roast a mallow over fire, then squish between 2 reg tortilla chips.....tastes just like carmelcorn.
HOBO/foil wrap stew is always a winner.
Easy stroganoff....1# burger, 16z sour cream, 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup, spice to taste. Brown burg. then add rest. serve over pasta.
How about quicky Swedish meatballs, similar to SOS (no balls made) just flavor it the same, serve over mashed taters, (little bags easiest)

I was treated to a simple delight one night from a fellow member that I believe has passed. It was simple DintyMoore with fresh grouse breast cubed and added to it. I was shocked how good it was. Maybe it was the warming of the shot of Crown and the comradery, or the fact we just finished packing a moose out. I'll never forget that meal.

Hadn't been paying attention to this thread but this Dinty Moore and grouse caught my eye. One of our best ever campfire meals was when my then high school son and I loaded our Dutch oven with Dinty Moore, a few more carrots, onions and potatoes, and added diced up breasts from three grouse. We set the Dutch oven on a bed of coals in the edge of the fire and went hunting in mid-afternoon. We came back after dark in snow blowing sideways, all of the fire covered with snow except for the Dutch oven. It was steaming hot when the lid came off, a fabulous mix of store bought and homemade stew with the delicious grouse chunks that had soaked up the other flavors. Great memory!.
