Best camp meal?

[greybrick]

This is a real old thread but I'll bring it back to the top anyway.

My all time favorite camping meal is a buckwheat pancake breakfast slathered all over with butter and about a cup of real maple syrup poured over top with some thick fried bacon on the side ...something about the sugar rush in the morning I guess.

One of my favorites qualifies under the simple prep, simple cleanup category.

A million years ago in my Boy Scout days for backpacking trips I used to take a piece of heavy-duty foil and put a couple slices of onion on it, followed by a ½ pound hamburger patty, covered with mushroom soup.

Wrap it all up and through it in the pack (in a ziplock, of course).

Then when we get to our campsite the first thing I would do is build a campfire. As soon as the coals were ready I’d throw the package on, and by the time camp was set up it was ready. Just grab a fork and eat it from the foil.

The onions on the bottom not only provide lots of flavor but they help keep the burger from burning.

Oh, and in the high mountains of Colorado I never worried about the burger going bad during a day of hiking. In the lower climes it might be an issue...

We made "trail burgers" often. You would add the ingredients in whatever manner you wanted then throw in the coals wrapped in heavy duty foil.

chopped carrot, onion, celery, potatoes
salt and pepper, garlic powder
worcestershire sauce
ground beef

Kids enjoy making it themselves plus they can add more or less of the veggies they like.

We had a variation on the tinfoil dinner as well. It was done with smokies over the ground beef.

sliced onions
butter
sliced potatoes
sliced smokies (we preferred this as they did not need to be fully cooked, We now use our favorite sausage.)

Roll it all up in tinfoil, throw it on the fire and enjoy. It was always a trick to get the potatoes just crispy without burning them and not opening the tinfoil to check...

I have to say that I am not fond of cooking while camping. I cook at home and I cook for twelve at work. When camping I like simplicity and easy clean up. I like spending my time exploring and using up every bit of daylight. My standby meals for camping usually consist of chorizo and eggs for breakfast, lunch is usually on the go either hiking or driving and is something that I can unwrap and eat or carry with me hiking like Mini Bonn Belles with salami. For dinner I love a steak on the grill that has been marinating for days. If I cant have a steak I like a cilantro and pine nut sausage grilled over a open fire.

Years ago I spent 9 days on the Snake River rafting through Hells Canyon. Potatoes and onions with fresh trout were our staple meal. Thanks for reminding me, brings back good memories.

Chorizo & eggs is definitely one of my all time favorites.

For dinner, my favorite has to be Kalbi. Its hard to beat for the combo of taste & how quick it is to prepare.

bump ttt for a worthwhile thread

for me its usually brats on a campfire but when we go camping in a few weeks we are doing boneless skinless chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, a little touch of garlic, and some onion flakes wrapped in bacon cooked over some hot coals from a campfire.

as a side dish for it we are doing corn on the cob in foil packets with butter, salt and pepper, and parmasean cheese then cook them in the coals

anyone else got something they want to try or have recently tried that is absolutely tasty?

Awesome.... Reminds me of a few weeks ago at the breakfast camp table. My 11 year old daughter and I were eating chorizo, potato egg and red chile for breakfast, and I tried to gross her out by telling her what chorizo was made of (lungs, lymph nodes, rectum, ect). She looks at me, shrugs her shoulders, and says, while taking another bite.. "good thing I like lymph nodes".

 

[Mike_rupp]

The nasty bits!

I try to avoid thinking of what is in sausage.

Marineited beef cubes in red wine with spices and garlics over a fire with mash potato or beans / white corn with plenty bater over a fire a good side too.
