Lets put together a collection of favorite recipes for the road.

Over the fire, Back pack stove, Cast iron, Plow blade/ Skottle, On the Exhaust Manifold, Solar oven or any other way you enjoy your chow...

Make them as quick or involved as you like but let's see what everyone is enjoying on the trails.

On the road I usually have ham or turkey rollups that my wife makes before I go. Dinner first night is hallways fajitas pre marinated. I guess I'm in a rut.

I like to do campfire pizzas.
What you'll need:
Naan bread
Pizza sauce or BBQ Sauce
Cheese of your liking
Toppings of your choice

Create your pizza and you can either cook on a grate and use a foil sheet overtop to radiate heat to melt the cheese or my new favourite method of folding the bread in half like a calzone, wrap it in tinfoil and throw it right into the fire for about 12 minutes

Definitely advised to not jump in this thread if you're already hungry:grinning:

Steak and peppers is my favorite for dinner, unless I'm looking for something quick and then I'll toss a burger or hot dogs-can't go wrong with either in my opinion, but I'm easy to please!

For breakfast....eggs, bacon, swiss cheese, on a nice onion potato roll!

Costco frozen Vegetable Yakisoba. Bring up to temp and add what ever pre cooked meat sounds good. I added some beer to the pot while defrosting. This trip I pre BBQ'd chicken brests and then diced them at home. Real easy and doesn't take a lot of watching with the liquid in there to keep from burning the noodles while they defrost. I have a ghost pepper sauce / paste that is just perfect at about 4 drops to a big bowl.
Sorry I forgot to take a pick of the chicken stired in.

Just picked up some of the Yakisoba from Costco. Was pleasantly surprised. Not as good as the noodle shop down the road but really good and really easy. Made salmon in foil and added it the last time. Quick and tasty.

Chopped japenos, onions, eggs, sausage, cheese in breakfast tacos cooked in cast iron on my old Coleman 2 burner with coffee. Standard breakfast for us.

Chili or beef stew for supper. We usually make this at home and freeze it for the trip.

I prefer cast iron personally. It’s heavier than most options out there but if I’ve got room in my rig I’ll take it. One of my favorite breakfasts when I’m out camping or in the trail is super simple and doesn’t take too long to cook.
•
•
• throw some olive oil/avancado oil in a pan (or whatever you have) heat up.
•throw some diced potatoes in there with some S+P
•while you’re letting that cook (keeping the potatoes moving around so they don’t stick or burn) cut up some veggies. Bell pepper/yellow pepper/red pepper, onion, garlic, spinach, or whatever else you can think of.
•throw in those veggies after the potatoes have had some time to cook. Cook those veggies till your satisfied with them. (Add S+P or whatever seasoning you want).
•lastly add hella eggs, scramble them up with everything and keep them moving till the eggs are cooked through.

I like to add avocado to it (on the side). It’s a great source of calories and the avocado has a lot of healthy fats. Gotta keep that calorie count up out there!

Boy are you correct about not jumping in this thread while hungry. We just had a great smoked rib dinner and I'm still salivating at all the yummy sounding and looking food.
