Going Camping in a few weeks, any easy meal suggestions?

Question

I already have the usual burgers, steak, hotdogs and sandwiches on the list, but i am going for a full week and I need more food choices. Thanks, i appreciate it.

Answer 1

Curry Couscous (Low Sodium/Vegetarian):

3/4 cup couscous
2 Tbl. coconut cream powder
2 Tbl. dried veggie flakes or freeze dried vegetables
2 Tsp. curry powder (if you aren't used to curry, you can use less)
1/2 Tsp. ginger powder

Put all items in a quart freezer bag.

In camp add 1 1/4 cups boiling water, stir well, seal and put in a cozy for 5-10 minutes. Stir and enjoy. I like adding a 3 oz. can of chicken, some chopped unsalted peanuts (carry in a ziploc snack bag) and even some coconut (use snack bags).

Serves 1 or 2 if you add a can or pouch of chicken to the meal.

# 1 Staple item-Tin Foil !! And don't forget a manual can opener. When I go camping-we boil up a dozen eggs-stick them back in the carton and put them in the bottom of the cooler-great for a quick snack or mafe egg salad sandwiches. Also-take about 2 dozen eggs- crack them into a plastic container that has a pour spout-like a snap lid tupperware Kool Aid pitcher that will seal. This is great if you want to make up scramble eggs-just pour out what you need-or for french toast. I alway take 10 lbs of potatoes and a bag of onions. Take heavy duty foil-make your hamburger patty-lay a slice of onion on top and about a half of a potato sliced-no need to peel-(just wash good). Seal up the foil and lay on the grill over a medium fire. Quick and easy-very little clean up. Baked potatos wrapped in foil or sliced onions with a dab of butter and salt/pepper wrapped in foil and grilled is always a good side addition-I like Vidalia onions-they're really sweet. Sweet potatos are good to bake also.

When we go camping for a week, I cook a few meals before leaving (spaghetti/sauce; stew; chili; chicken dish) and all i have to do is heat it up in a pan on the stove. That way we don't have bbq at every meal. Easy soups/sloppy joes are another nice thing to have on hand especially if the evenings are chilly.

I love what my family calls "Hamburger Soup" (only because it uses ground beef). Fry up some ground beef and some onions (optional for some people, but not me!). After it's browned, add a can or two of condensed tomato soup. Then, stir in some mixed vegetables (you can use canned, but I use frozen mixed vegetables--just the carrot, pea, bean combinations; it's okay if they're defrosted as long as you've kept them in a cold cooler ). Add some drained canned potatoes (whole or chunks, not slices). Alternatively, you could use chunks of peeled baked potatoes, but I don't usually have those around when camping. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors and soften the veggies a little, and voila!

For ratios, I usually do a pound of ground beef, 1-2 cans of tomato soup (I prefer two, but one can do), one 16 oz. bag of frozen mixed veggies, and 2 cans of potatoes.

a pair of issues which will shop them entertained is get a jacket potato, pierce it as you regularly could at homestead and wrap it in silver foil (with shinny facet dealing with out), leave your camp hearth to burn all the way down to embers then chuck them on, turn each 20 minutes and leave for type of an hour or try if the size's selection, have with tuna, cheese, butter, something. For dessert you may desire to take an apple and take out the middle utilising a center knife, place it on some silver foil (returned with shinny facet dealing with out and fill with raisins and sugar, wrap it interior the silver foil then placed on the embers for type of quarter-hour, whilst taken out the sugar has caramelised and it is superb. Or chuck a banana in silver foil (nevertheless in it incredibly is epidermis) leave for no better than 5 minutes and it is frequently superb and soggy, some people discover it slightly bitter, yet once you're making a splash slit interior the floor and placed some sugar in it and wrap it up superb and tight it is going to likely be very superb and candy. needless to say be care finished whilst taking it out of the embers because of the fact the silver foil would be warm. I even have placed those techniques because of the fact they are what i exploit with my scouts and it takes removed from pot's and pans and makes them sense like there doing some thing different (it is quite spoke of as Backwards Cooking) wish it is of a few help

from my experience all you need is the basics for most of your meals but maybe 1 meal nice and good. extra food means more trash and more stuff to keep cold, we as a consumer country eat when we r bored. when camping take more drinks than food, you wont be hungry as often as you think. hot dogs sandwiches r great but don't forget meat cause sometimes unwanted trips to the toilet if there is one around. dont forget to packout what you pack in. peace out and dont forget only you can prevent forest fires!

...one of a kitchens most appreciated items is a 'dutch-oven'...that one utincel has more potential than any thing else you could haul into a camp...other than matches, of corse.
It bakes...it slowcooks...it deepfrys..it stews..it soup's.. and it simmers... the great thing about it is, it sets in the fire, on the fire, or can be burried in the coals... you can dump a shovel full of coals on the lid, and bake buiskits on top of a stew...no foolin... i've dune it.
Takeing EVERY thing you want to eat is also prety easy, if your thinking 'meats'... just wrap dry ice in newspaper and pack the meat around it and wrap the whol wad up in more paper.. put that package in a snug container...you suld be abel to keep the meat that way for 4..5 days.

Meal replacement/protein bars can be a great thing to have for one or two meals, especially if you're on the go doing something such as hiking. If you have a fishing license, you can also try to catch a fish to cook up if you are near a lake or stream - just beware of tiny bones. You can also look for wild raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries to pick, as those should be in season soon.

One of my easy camping dishes is pasta and sauce. I make cook the pasta ahead of time toss it in a bit of olive oil and bag it. I then either make sauce and bag it, or bring a jar/can of premade sauce. At camp I use two pots. One to reheat the pasta in a bit of water. The other to heat the sauce. Then combine. Sometimes I just toss both together in the sabe pot and heat altogethers.. Depending on my supplies and time.
