Re: Simple hot camp meals?
If you aren't picky, canned is easiest. We go thru the french cut green beans. They are even better if you add real bacon crumbles you get for salad. Salad in a bag is good the first night out, with a loaf of fresh bread, and either beef raviolis (frozen), or spaghetti and a jar of sauce. OR raw peeled frozen shrimp, fettuchini, and a jar of Alfredo sauce.
We re-package meats into the portions we need for the two of us. Pork tenderloins are great in a skillet. Pre-seasoned southwestern, lemon/herb, or fajita chicken make supper easy. Add BBQ beans, cornbread muffins from home, couscous in a flavor you like, spanish rice, black beans, whatever.
When it comes to the meat, we use pre-seasoned chicken, unseasoned pork, precooked bacon, and pre cooked meatballs.
Grains- Coucous is the fastest and easiest grain to cook. Pasta takes a while but still comes out good. Rice is a little more difficult to get the heat just right.
Other fun stuff, bisquick pancakes, the kind you pour out of the jar once you've added water. Jiffy pop popcorn is fun.
We find the non-perishable stuff makes life easier, less stuff to keep cold. When you are camp-cooking, charcoal counts as a spice and dirt is a condiment, there is no 3-second rule.
