Thanks!

Tacos in a bag is fun.

individual bags of doritos, fritos etc.
taco meat
tomatoes
sour cream
lettuce
cheese
hot sauce

fill up the bag with whatever you want and dish it out with a spork

Dutch oven Chicken Salsa tacos

couple chicken breasts - frozen is fine
salsa
tortillas
taco fixings

cook the chicken in the salsa and shred
make tacos

taters, carrots, onions sliced to the same size, add salt and pepper, wrap in foil.....throw it in the fire...

eat when you think its done....

I usually add a steak cooked on a grill of some sort....but that is optional

thick hamburger pattie,...cut up a tater,..some onion,,..wrap it in aluminum foil and lay it on the edge of the fire. Flip it every now and then.

I realize that it's not very creative, but it's about the best hamburger you'll ever eat and the taters come out very good too.

It's really a fine meal.

Not sure if it is a favorite (darn close) but the first meal of about every trip will be grilled Costco 1/4+ pound hot dogs in their fatazz buns with mustard, onions and tomatoes.

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....

Some good ranch beans and Chorizo is good too...I make my own beans but canned will do...
Fry the Chorizo and then add the beans...continue cooking until the beans are hot...sorry no pix...

Upper choice angus top sirloin, cut into 2 ince cubes, tossed in olive oil and a course monteral seasoning.
Cooked over open fire to med rare.

a good deer or elk chili and bannock bread

I usually pre cook and freeze chili but easy to make on camp stove

The meat veggies taters in foil is always good too

But love the bannock bread

A good bun, cook large elk hamburger medium rare topped with bacon, blue cheese and a egg cooked over easy.

When served you stick a tooth pick in the egg so the yoke runs thru the burger.

Boiling water and a Mountain House entree.

We do this every year on our family vacation. Easy to do, and tastes great.

We like to cook veggies on the grill. We've got one of those wire baskets for the grill. Cut up some peppers, onions, 'shrooms, zuchini, etc,. Throw 'em in the basket with some chicken chunks or steak junks marinated in Italian dressin, put on the fire and enjoy!

Funny y'all should ask. I gave myself the challenge the other day of making something out of a can of Kroger canned Corned Beef. It's kind of the beef version of Spam.

It finally dawned on me that it would probably respond well to a Zip Sauce. Zip sauce is wonderful stuff. It comes from Detroit. I discovered it 10 years ago.

Kim's Zippy Sauce

That's my review from 2006. Over the past 10 years, I've expanded my uses of Zip Sauce. It works great with venison steaks, and one of the family favorites is a beef round bottom roast slow baked and served in Zip Sauce.

So what I did in this case was heat a skillet and throw the whole can in along with the ingredients from the zip sauce recipe. It's all pre-cooked, so it is just a matter of heating it up enough for all the flavors to mix. I served it as a crumble, so it would get done quickly.

Slam, Bang, Done. Zip Hash.

Angus is getting together a post-graditation camp-out early next month. This will be one of the things he serves.

Shrimp Ka Bobs - Cut up some "stop light peppers" and onions in large chunks. Marinate shrimp, peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes in Italian dressing and creole seasoning. Skewer so the shrimp is sandwiched between chunks of veggies to keep shrimp moist. Cook on grate over open fire. Don't overcook!

I'm really just tagging a good thread. We are planning a camping trip in a couple of weeks.

Or this:

Chili Beans:

Take a large pan or dutch oven.
5 ingredients
1lb hamburger
1 large can tomatoes whole or use the diced tomatoes
1 large can(the giant size)ranch style beans
1 large onion diced
4oz chili powder
You can easily put all of these ingredients in a left over shopping bag and tie the top in a knot till your ready.
Cook the meat ground up style w/onion, drain meat and add tomatoes mashed between your fingers, add chili powder and cook till it simmers for twenty minutes. Don't over cook. This really is a good and easy meal. Prep time 10minutes. Serve w/buttered crackers, bread, or cornbread. Serves 4 hungry people. powdr

We call that a "Hobo" dinner. Add whatever meat you like or happen to have and it's on! If cooked in a pot it is "Whatchagot" stew...

Get a copy of "The One-Burner Cookbook" by Harriett Barker

beef tips ,carrots taters and anything else you like in a dutch oven.dig a hole line with hot coals grease the lid and cover it up til evening.kids will love doing this.

Call Pizza Hut for delivery.

our grandkids just love those "hobo dinners" described above done on a grate over the fire....

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

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

People actually EAT tuna casserole!????

No, really?

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.

It's not really a casserole....more like some boiled water with a couple of packages of processed crap dumped in.....
I have no shame though...I'd eat it and go back for seconds....

I avoid tuna in the summer in brown bear country.

Fry kielbasa sausage, taters, nunions, in a CI pan. When done toss in the scrambled eggs, top with cheddar*.

Dang that sounds good. Love quail anyway

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.
