Re: Simple hot camp meals?
Breakfast:
Bean and cheese tacos:
refried beans
cheese
tortillas(fresh-made is best, but the White Wings brand in the bread aisle are OK too)
Heat the beans, heat the beans over flame or on a comal.
I sometimes cook some chorizo at home, freeze it, then re-heat it at the campsite, for chorizo, bean, and cheese tacos.
Pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties are good on biscuits, croissants, or english muffins.
Dinner:
Brisket Tacos:
pre-cooked brisket
pico de gallo(easy to make at home or the campsite)
sliced avocado
tortillas
You can buy pre-seasoned beef or chicken fajitas and use those instead of brisket.
Sausage, onions, potatoes:
Potatoes(Bake potatoes the night before you go camping)
1-2 onions
1 bell-pepper(optional)
sausage of your choice(pre-cooked or cook it at home ahead of time) We like Kiolbasa Jalapeno-Beef sausage, Emeril's hot sausage, and Kruez Market sausage.
Heat a little oil in a skillet. Add cut up potatoes, sliced onions, and bell pepper, and cooked sausage(sliced up). Cook until potaoes are browned and vegetables are cooked.
Crawfish Etouffee(from Mulate's)
Ingredients:
1 1/4 stick butter or margarine
1 medium onion - diced
2 stalks celery - diced
1 small bell pepper - diced
1 lb peeled crawfish tails(you can buy these frozen at HEB or Wal-Mart)
1/2 tsp. salt
cajun seasoning
Directions:
Melt butter or margarine.
Add diced onions, celery, and bell pepper.
Saute' on medium heat until vegetables are translucent – approximately 15 minutes.
Add crawfish and Mulate's Cajun Seasoning(any cajun seasoning works) - stir well.
Cook covered on low heat for approximately 15 minutes.
You may add chopped parsley or green onions just before serving - do whatever you like!
Serve over white rice(success boil-in-bag rice is quick, easy, and not very messy)
Here's an easy recipe I found on a fishing forum:
Cilantro-Cream Sauce:
Melt a half stick of butter.
Add the juice of one lime.
Add 1 tablespoon of roasted garlic from a jar.
A hand full of chopped fresh cilantro
Cook it down until the cilantro looks like cooked spinach.
Add some half&half and another handful of chopped fresh cilantro. Serve over grilled fish or grilled chicken.
Hamburgers, hot-dogs, chili-dogs are good too, and easy.
As daleoutside said, the more you can do ahead of time at home(cooking meat, cutting vegetables, etc.), will make cooking at the campsite easier.
Pretty much any recipe that does not involve baking can be done camping, without much trouble. And if you get a dutch oven, you can bake stuff too.
