What are your favorite campsite meals?

Okanagan:
Highside74’s comment about “no cooking, no cleaning” resonates with me.  I HATE any kind of dish washing when camping.

We cook nothing in camp that requires cleaning cooking or serving gear, with possible exception of a large cooking spoon and fork.  I have a deep cake pan that fits inside my Dutch oven.  I cook biscuits etc. in that so the Dutch oven stays clean.  Biscuit pans just wipe out.

We keep a pot of water hot, and cook or drink anything that requires only hot water:  instant coffee, cocoa, Ramen, etc.  Foil wrapped items in coals is our main way to cook full meals:  corn on the cob, salmon, potatoes, grouse breasts, a mix of veggies and meat.  Of course, many kinds of meats can be grilled on a stick over a fire. 

Paper plates etc. and everything used to cook and serve goes in a garbage bag.  A pot for hot water is the only non-disposable.

  I’d sure prize to eat some of the meals described in this thread, but we have made a conscious choice to focus on the hunt and save the great cooking for home. We want energy for a few days, not a balanced diet.  FWIW we are back pack hunters who are adapting to camping by a vehicle.  Minimal is almost a fetish.

I precook everything except what I’ll bbq. I freeze it in those heavy aluminum foil type containers & I have a Camo Chef stove/oven that I  use. Take something out of the cooler in the morning & that evening it’s as easy to fix as a mountain house but way better. My favorites are lasagna, meat loaf, chili & enchiladas..

You had me at "Beer pancakes"!!

OutHouse:
I love to buy a nice big steak, cut it into one inch cubes, season them individually, and then cook them on a stick. That's a meat only dinner.

Another favorite is carne asada on a hanging grill. Have refried beans heating on the stove. Cook the carne, throw a corn tortilla on the grill for a moment, add some beans and the meat, some cotija cheese and eat small quesadillas all night. When we do that, dinner lasts about four hours cooking and handing them out to people.
