I've read stories about that, it's on my list to try. Too many bad experiences with wind and ash on my s'mores to think it's any good....
What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

- Start date
That sounds like a rough life you lead. If ever those trays are too hard on you or your waistline, I offer myself as tribute to help you eat it haha

If I am solo...
- Dinner: canned chili, canned beans, canned dinty moor beefstew, ramen noodles and SPAM are my go to dinner meals. 1-pan to cook in and easy cleanup on all of them. All can be supplemented with something easy like crackers.
- Lunch: Canned tuna or deli meat sandwiches
- Breakfast: Try to keep easy and basic - pop tarts, instant oat meal.
- Dinner: I try to precut meats into chunks for easier/faster cooking and serve with minute rice or tortillas. Pasta is a good easy one. Saw someone earlier recommended pre-cooking pasta a few minutes and putting in a zip lock bag in the cooler. Then finishing it off IN THE SAUCE pan for 1-pot meal. Like that idea.
- Lunch: See above for solo
- Breakfast: Eggs/Sausage/Tortillas at least one day. I skip the bacon, longer to cook and maybe it is me but the bees LOVE the bacon. And I hate the bees. Stepped on a beehive when I was 5. Something like 25 stings and ended up at the ER. One pack up days, breakfast is skipped or it is simple. See solo above.

Hey Matt - I wouldn't have seen your request here if you hadn't liked my post and came looking to see who's added what to the thread. . . best to quote someone so they're alerted.
Here's the post I made beginning of 2020 with the details on the 4 Ingredient Pancakes. I've made them a bunch of times since and always love 'em. I like them a lot more than the branded box mixes.
Delicious & Easy PANCAKES - Only 4 ingredients, easy to make on the spot
Found this on top of a Stonyfield Organic Yogurt container and thought "Dang, this is simpler than Aunt Jemima. Why haven't I tried this before?" So I made a batch this morning. Super easy to mix and make. Nice thick batter that makes delicious fluffy pancakes. These were a big hit with my kid...
Enjoy!

I thought of that after I posted and was hoping that the website would notify you that I had replied by the fact that I had hit the reply button. Good to know that I need to quote, thanks..

And thanks for the recipe. I just picked up some keto ancient grains flour today and am looking for things to try making with it.

I think you might be able to set preferences so it does that (some forums do), though when you've added content to a ton of threads, then you get alerted to when anyone replies, even if not to just your post. I don't get alerted here unless someone likes a post of mine or quotes it.
Hope the recipe works out for you, and hope you post up with images in the Pancake thread if it does, or with another thread in the general Kitchen, Cooking, and Recipes if you find other cool recipes to use the ancient grains.
Breakfast Burritos. One for each person per day. Made the night before departure, wrapped in foil, in the Dometic, and on the fire whenever anyone wants to eat.

Wagyu beef rybeyes first night and then with the trim, make sliders with Hatch peppers from New Mexico that I roasted. Made Slider buns adding more chopped Hatch Peppers, grew red onions in the garden from seed, harvested and pickled, cured wild boar bacon, sliced crisped up and put on said sliders

Hmmm, I am confused. I know this thread is about food but I am new and want to make sure I am doing this right! I just hit reply to your post and it looks like it automatically tagged and quoted you. Am I suppose to do more than that? I don't see an actual "Quote" option like I see on other sites, seems hitting "reply" to a specific comment does the trick.
EDIT - Nevermid I see the exchange above, there was no quoting via the "reply" button.
To make sure I am contributing to the topic on this - "Bagels and Cream Cheese" another nice basic easy staple for breakfast and you can double up the use of the bagels for lunch with sandwich meat!

I camp alone or with 1 or 2 of my boys so we generally stick to simple menus. The traditional hot dogs, burgers, and maybe a pork loin for meats. I like the Chili idea of heating up a can and just adding in freshly cooked burger, simple and easy. I guess I'll have to go to Walmart and grab several different brands of canned chili and give them a try to see which one I can add to my camp menu! What is your go to Chili in a can if you don't mind me asking?

I am a Hormel Chili kind of guy. Sits well in my stomach and has a variety to choose from (with beans, without beans, spicy, and I thik they have a tobasco flavored one). I usually add a can of chili beans to supplement but I like your idea of adding some ground burger.
The sitting well in my stomach part, I will give you an example. Costco sells a canned brand called Cattle Drive. It has chunks of meat instead of ground meat. It tastes fine. But goes right thru me!

Hot dogs. If I'm on the bike, Ramen (the good stuff, not cup a noodle)

One of those bags of salad kits , almost no clean up , get your greens and actually makes a great breakfast to start the day .

I picked up 5 different canned Chili's at Walmart yesterday so we're going to have a taste test this weekend to see how they are. I'm not into super spicy so just picked up the regular homestyle flavors. If I want it spicier I can add some in once I get a base canned chili I really like. I think I picked up 1 each of Hormel, Campbells, Wolf, Walmart brand and 1 more I can't remember. Once we test them we'll rank them by taste and then I'll eat a bowl of each over time and see how the stomach test goes!

This taste test is only valid once you post the results of your findings!

Very large baked potato with a can of chili dumped over it, top with grated cheddar cheese.
