To the OP, what kind of "camping"? This: Or this: Tent (canvas, wall style) camping in a state park, we cook over a campfire, in a Dutch oven and/or over a propane Coleman stove.

Yep hobo packets are my fave but we put the meat in the foil along with spuds,carrots & onions
Have done it with bison, sheep medallions & moose meat
Tks my fave
If I'm grilling meat I like to wrap sweet onions in foil toss in coals and cook until the outer layer of onion is black
Slice that baby open add some butter if you like & mmmmm perfect compliment to a steak

Tent (canvas, wall style) camping in a state park, we cook over a campfire, in a Dutch oven and/or over a propane Coleman stove. I usually prepare to cook whatever we can catch or kill in the area. This puts pressure on the campers to get out there and do something if they want to eat, and usually results in a more satisfying trip. Just make sure there are enough staples to get them through a couple of meals with the main ingredients. (Bacon, potatoes, cheese, onions etc.) Don't forget something green if you're going for more than a day or two.

Yeah, I like to precook a couple meals and freeze for the first day. Usually setting up camp takes a little time, and its nice to have something ready to warm up. Chili is a good one too. Yoopper pasties is a favorite. We call it slum gully; fried ground beef or venison, with fried taters or hash browns, onions garlic, peas and carrots, maybe some fried bits of bacon. Pour some cream of mushroom soup over it when its warm and mix it up. some rolls or bread.

Depends on how much clean up you want to do.
If it's just me, a can of Dinty Moore beef stew works.
If it's the whole fam damnly, that's another story.
They live a HUGE dutch oven full of green chili, or a big ol' pot of beans.
Once I had to take a bunch of boy scouts out. They asked what to prepare for dinner. I told them to bring a foil dinner. And they did.
I wrapped pizza up in foil and brought it.
Taught them a whole new meaning to foil dinners. Boy, were they jealous :-)

I like stuff that you can cook in one pan...easy to make...and keeps well... Some good German Sausage sauteed with zucchini, peppers and onion is one of my favorites....
I do the same but with Italian sausage and some diced tomatoes added.

I can't stand the smell of a tuna casserole let alone the taste.

foil packs are the ticket. burger,onion & taters, kolbassi & taters, ham & taters. you get the point. anything & taters wrapped tight in aluminum foil and sat on the coals is perfect. you can make them all before you leave and pack them in the cooler like that and the best part is theres no dishes.

Fresh trout wrapped in foil with a few pats of butter and some pepper. Foil wrapped potatoes and onion with salt & pepper. Throw in some pepper flakes for spice.

A easy to make soup.
2 lb hamburger browned with 1 medium size chopped onion then mix with 2 cans rotel tomatoes 2 cans ranch style beans 3 cans minestrone soup.
Takes about 30 minutes to make.

I do a lot of camping, and a lot of camp cooking. Most of it involves fire and cast iron. Chili is always popular. Chili. No beans, no tomatoes
Two pounds NY Strip Steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, lightly salted Two tablespoons lard 2 cups beef broth Two fresh Poblano peppers 8 fresh red chili peppers 4 dried Chili Mulato peppers 4 dried Guajillo peppers 10 dried Chile Arbol 4 dried California peppers (Anaheim) 1 medium white onion, fine diced 4 cloves garlic, fine diced 1 teaspoon Penzy's ground Cumin 2 teaspoon Penzy's medium chili powder 2 teaspoon Penzy's Mexican Oregano 1/4 cup masa harina corn flour
Using a cast iron pot, melt the lard over medium high heat. Add in the cubed beef, and sear on one side only. Remove from the heat, add in the diced garlic and onion, and the beef broth. Place in a 225F oven for two hours, stirring once or twice. Remove from the oven, and place the pot on a low heat burner. Add in the rest of the ingredients, stir well, and simmer for another hour.
The dried peppers should be seeded, and cut into large pieces. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle, and place the peppers on it. Heat on high for a minute or two per side, but do NOT BURN the peppers. Use no oil. Place the peppers in a bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 20 or so minutes. Place the peppers and the water into a blender. Pulse several times. Do not reduce to a puree. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pepper pieces from the liquid, and add to the chili. Add the liquid as needed to the chili, to make sure the chili does not dry out when cooking.
Mix some of the liquid from the chili into the masa harina. Add this back to the chili until you get the consistency you want.
Sam......
