easy to prepare Foods for camping? I'm tired of hot dogs!
 

what are some other easy to prepare foods to make while camping? I have been eating hot dogs lately and getting sick of it.

Preferably foods that you can skewr over a fire :) And with alot of meat on it. Give me some suggestions!

Foil pouch cooking is simple and possibilities are endless.
You also can grill a variety of stuff.
If you have a dutch oven (cast iron) even baking is possible.
shiskabobs are also simple and originall designed for just that.

Spam tastes good fried on a campfire.

For real.














What?

Nice, give me some ideas of things to cook in a foil!

I've done tons over a fire. Teriyaki chicken and beef strips is great and can be skewered and cooked over a fire. Marinate the chicken or beef in a ziplock bag with teriyaki marinade for a while first. Kabobs work also.

I prefer using a grill basket for alot of my camp cooking. I can do chicken, fish, steak, burgers, veggies, etc in them.

LOl none of you must backpack much.

bratwurst would be an easy cook

My favorites are:
a couple shrimp, under that some slivered veggies, under that a ramien noodles (no packet). Then add in 1/2 cup broth and a dash of soy. Seal.

Chicken thigh or boneless breast. Sliced onion, mushroom, garlic, bellpeper, thinly sliced potatoes, pat of butter, 1/4th cup milk, s/p, cheese. (oh order is bottom to top - potatoes, bellpepper, mushroom, chicken, cheese)

Another example would be like a foil lasagna, just think about what you bake in the oven.

You can grill steak and stuff ... or fish in a pan on the fire... hamburgers ... pretty much anything.

take 2 potato patties and put some sliced up onions and cheese in the middle, wrap in foil and throw em near the fire. Good shit

Canned tuna

Sure sounds like it LOL - a dutch oven???? :)

Although Ive got to admit the first day out I usually take some hamburger steaks wrapped in foil (still frozen) and a few baggies of stuff to mix in once they thaw by dinner time - and make a good meal wrapped in foil over a little fire (most of my backpacking is along the App Trail so pretty easy to find fire rings)

Other than that every other meal is usually something like ramen mixed with mac and cheese and bags of chicken or tuna (the kind you get for chicken/tuna salads in foil bags) - and all mixed together in a pot over a little stove - after 20 miles of hoofin it definitely takes great :)

Take some oranges with you. Cut them in half, and remove most of the inside. Fill them with beef chunks, and then wrap them in foil and put them on the edge of the fire.

Also take steaks.

if you're tired of hot dogs just take a normal dog with you, I can assure you that on the second day you'll come up with your own recipe

hobodinners !
fill foil with Potatos
Carrots
Hamburger patty ( or steak or roast )

throw it in the fire
remove after about an hour


Good eatin@

The only camping food I know is S'mores! Yum!

Cyn

Dinty Moore Stew.

mountain house dehydrated foods.. just boil water , add, stir..wait a few minutes and its done..there are quite tasty.

You can get them at REI.

my faves are pasta primavera with a pouch of tuna added and beef stroganoff.

If you have a campfire, try to use some hot coals (instead of wood - buy a bag) - dig a hole, get a grill from your BBQ and you have an instant BBQ @ Camp :upsidedow

Chicken / steak / anything! :winkwink:

Here is a pic of my breakfast spread at the last big "campout" we had..everything was cooked over a fire. :thumbsup

The night time feast at this gathering was unbelievable between 25 people or more showing up. Prime rib, fresh fish, home made clam chowder, salads, buds, liquor galore. No one went hungry.

car camping is alot different than backpacking for sure.

i bbq chicken over an open flame, you can cook just about anything while camping....

When I took my son camping with the boy scouts, everyone made fun of me. I brought frozen shrimp cocktails wrings, so they would thaw in time for dinner. and Steak and eggs for breakfast. They laughed but everyone sure did have some! :winkwink:

hmmm I really love hotdog, bbq is my fav too..you can cook it in an open fire :)

OOh, some good info. I guess taking a grill with us would really help, huh? :)

Ahh come on whats wrong with a dutch oven. I did not see where he said he was hiking and not camping. All a dutch oven is, is a cast iron pot and lid.

looks good .. :) :pimp

I love camping! I do mostly car camping and if I am not car camping the site is about a 30 minute canoe ride so it's not bad.

The foil ideas are the way to go when all you have is an open flame :) I always bring a small grill and small burner but if you don't have that stuff just bring a ton of tin foil. Put some potatoes in there, I also do ears of corn :)

If you peel back the husks of the corn and put a garlic spread, pepper, and butter on there and put the husks back up and wrap in foil and cook it that way, it's GREAT!

steak, eggs, bacon, freeze dried lasagna if you're back packing, shit anything you can kill!

Just grab a lot of cans, bread, sauces and some vegetables you will be fine with that

"Anything you can kill" LoL

lol. A buddy and I were discussing before that you can always tell the experience of a backpacker by what he/she eats while backpacking. The longer you backpack, the better the food becomes. I'm tired of the instant meals. I eat better backpacking than I do at home. lol. Actually, the ironic thing is I can't cook even canned Ravioli on a stove, but over an open fire, I'm a gourmet chef. :)

Canned goods and a can openner. :)
