I really like the following:

Lasagne

Chicken and dumplings,
Beef stew


Mtn House spaghetti is the best of all........

I always take at least one spaghetti meal.

Casey


That and beef Stroganoff.

One thing I'm going to try next trip is cooked bacon, vacuum-sealed. I've heard it's good and lasts a good while.
That's my favorite. A packet of red pepper flakes from a pizza joint is a good add in.

Good luck to the OP taking the kids out!!

Dehydrated stuff: flour or pancake mixes, pasta (Ramens), rice and other grains, beans, dried tomatoes/onions, and fruit, along with powdered milk, instant masked potatoes, gravies, potent spices, with salt & pepper. Shoot your proteins and fats on site. One or two aluminum pots for cooking.

When I was a kid, we always packed steak for the first night of a thru-hike.

Of course, we packed a tiny cast iron pan to cook it on too. I think I could find a better way these days.

I'm far too lazy to spend the time required to have good food on a regular basis. MH works pretty well for me.

Everyone rolls differently.

We go hunting to hunt, not to shoot grouse, plink, test ammo etc... YMMV.

We go to hunt, not to cook, or take time cooking.

When we want to shoot/plink we do that at other times.

When we want to cook, I don't want to have to get up and go hunting the next morning, or worry if I drank one to many scotch or I am to full and fat to go.

I suspect we think along your lines.

OTOH our best buddys, I swear they go to deer camp moslty to cook and drink,more so than for the hunt part. Of course Carolyn and I benefit, but if they arent at the lease on a weekend, we have instant oatmeal, a sandwhich at lunch and maybe microwave a sausage for supper or not... ain't gonna waste the effort to make a big meal.

YMMV as noted... now back to searching for IBs' camp site for next fall....

With kids, pick up some jelly packets from McDonald's to go with the peanut butter - they've sold em to me for like 10 cents each. I also bought individual peanut butter cups from Jif I think. Makes for a good, easy pb&j sandwich (I carry the wheat sandwich thins myself vs tortillas).

Clif bars, trail mix, jerky, cheese sticks for snacks. Try to take something with some fiber... wink

My son likes Mountain House and when 8-12ish, thought it was cool too.

They are great in my opinion for a good, hot dinner after a long day hiking/hunting.

The one thing the Mtn. Houses are missing in proportion for backpacking is fat. I usually bring a small bottle of olive oil and add about a tablespoon. It actually makes the spaghetti better tasting IMO. And the stroganoff.

The steel cut oatmeal will stay with you longer than the instant.Takes a few more minutes to make,but well worth it.
Yeah, like about 5x longer. With instant, I'm hungry before the dishes are washed.
