What is your must cook meal or must have food for camping.

[Red Beard]

What is that one meal that you must cook on a camping trip?
Also if you must have a certain food item for travel to a particular location what is it?

My must cook meal is my "Trail Tacos".


Also I won't go to the beach without a peach. Something my grandfather started 30+ years ago when were kids and it stuck.

For me it is defiantly chilli made from scratch. The smell of the spices working is wonderful, I also get people coming over and ask me what I'm cooking because of the aroma floating around.

Pasta or rice....fast easy and filling. Fancy food comes out when we stop for a day or two.

I always have to make a big breakfast. Eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, hash browns or some sort of potatoes, and now pancakes (with the addition of the kids.) All those smells in the morning, especially when its cold, are one of our favorite things (after caffeine of course.)

Tube steaks being boiled to oblivion on my single burner propane stove, ketchup, maybe a little shredded cheese. Vienna sausages straight out of the can come in a close 2nd. Ah simplicity. Lol

I usually do fajitas for one night. I either use my homemade disc or a big cast iron skillet depending on how many people I'm feeding. I've found that tortillas, bell peppers and onions etc...all travel well and the whole meal is pretty compact. If I don't have time to cook and clean i pre cook stuff and vacuumed seal and boil the bags for easy mess free cooking and cleaning while still eating a good meal. Some of the meals I've done this way are hamburgers, pulled pork, chili verde, leftover thanksgiving dinner, carne asada, and bacon egg and potatoes for burritos.

Same here, Big Breakfast every morning, first thing on the stove is the large 36 cup coffee pot to make sure everyone gets a cup.

My wife has to have tacos at least one night of the trip.

Those are the best traditions and best memories.

Seems like we always have a hotdog or brats in there.

OMG, my cholesterol would shoot through the hospital roof. (sound good though)

Potato salad with pork and beans on the side. Steamed vegies in foil. Roasted corn on the cob. Full course hearty breakfast. Roll ups stuffed with all the good stuff for lunch on the trail. Kebabs.

We gotta do a Overland expedition with Red Beard and Litnercorey. Both you guys got me hungry. I said to my wife, we gotta go out with these guys. Between you guys and my wife's cooking, I'd need a Flatbed to get my fat ass back home!

Hot Links are always with me when camping ;-)

Bacon, lots and lots of bacon.

 

[mep1811]

On every trip I enjoy making Coq au Vin in my pressure cooker. So simple and delicious.

 

[canadianoverlanders]

I gotta say, I really hope we all meet some day or even better over on a multi week expedition.
Hey I was thinking....could start a group and call ourselves Expedition Eats....start a website and YouTube channel and show case our rigs, adventures etc focusing on good food , camping and adventures.
We can do a "Return to the Mackenzie - On a full stomach" 12 episode series....lol!!
