Breakfast burritos on the wok. I preslice elk straps, peppers, onions, sun dried tomatoes, pineapple, and mushrooms. Cook the onions first, then throw in the elk, sauté it a bit, then throw the rest of the vegetables in for a few minutes. Crack a few eggs and scramble it all. Throw some pepper and Siracha on it and toss a couple times then Fill some tortillas full of it and eat. Hard to beat.

Foil packet dinners! Go to is usually chicken fajita. Chicken strips prepped ahead with fajita seasoning in a ziploc bag, onions, bell peppers, all in foil over open fire, into tortillas with salsa.

Like Kent Rollins says “you don’t Get full on fancy”! Taters, Rice, meat, veggies and a variety of seasonings. Grillin, or frying, or foil wrapped and tossed in the fire, it’s all good. The point is you get out where you need to be.
I love to get all fancy! Fried turkey with trimming for 10 in the middle of Baja.
Fried lobster, green salad and garlic bread grilled peaches with whipped cream, the next day. Last night started with clams with pico de Gallo and butter on the half shell, followed by steak, cream corn, green beans, fresh fruit salad. I love feeding others well in remote places.

Breakfast, and I like to keep it simple. One frying pan.
One of those little milk-carton sized cartons of freeze dried hash browns, a same-sized carton of egg beaters (real eggs), a bag of shredded cheese, some butter, and a bag of bacon bits.
Boil water, pour into the carton of hash browns and wait the 12 minutes it tells you to do. Put some of the potatoes in a frying pan with a good bit of butter and brown the potatoes. Pour in some of the liquid eggs and scramble/mix with the hash browns. Once almost done, mix in some of the bacon bits, and when done, sprinkle in some of the shredded cheese and stir. Eat it out of the frying pan, or put on a plate if you want to act like you're civilized. With catsup or taco sauce (optional).
You can also buy Spam in individual slices. You can slice and dice up one of those and substitute for the bacon bits (might want to brown the spam with the hash browns instead of adding them later).

One of our family favorites is grilling up Walmart raw meatballs and putting them in King Hawaiian Rolls as meatball sliders.
The food and drink at the top of my list are bacon, eggs and lots of coffee for the mornings, and a simple T bone or ribeye steak in the evening. I just love the simplicity of salt, pepper, steak, fire as the sun goes down. I'm not picky for lunch because it's usually pre-made sandos or fruit packed into my bag as I go off hiking or fishing. For drinks, of course lots and lots of water, but a case of Mexican cokes, and a bottle of whiskey to wind me down. My wife enjoys a bottle of Moscato, and my son loves his chocolate milk.

For me SOS for breakfast at least once, camp made chili, elk or venison burgers and steaks with potatoes. I enjoy making everything from scratch in camp and relaxing while it cooks.

Chili with cornbread mix on top cooked in the fire in a Dutch oven, enjoyed with an ice cold dark ale by the fire... now I have to get out and go camping..lol
Open fire...cast iron pan with potatoes, tri tip and roast some corn on the Cobb. Or bring the smoker and go nuts.

We typically hang our Dutch oven over the fire (preferably a fire that's been going for a while with some good coals) prepare ingredients per your favorite chili recipe and cook it in the bottom of the oven until thoroughly hot & cooked (alternately you could substitute your favorite canned chili and just heat it up in the bottom if you prefer) While the chili is cooking whip a a batch of cornbread batter from ingredients or a mix, when chili is ready pour the cornbread slowly over the top of the chili, place the lid on the oven and shovel a layer of coals onto the lid. Avoid to much heat on the bottom side so the chili does not burn. Should take around 20 to 30 minutes for the cornbread to cook. We start checking after 20 minutes. When the cornbread is cooked dinner is served, the chili help makes the bread super moist and the flavor is awesome. The biggest learning curve is how much chili and how much mix depending on size of oven, we have a small one since there is only two of us, the equivalent of one small can and one jiffy cornbread mix seems to work. Too little chili and it burns,, to much cornbread and the lid lifts off the oven lol. It seems to help things go smoother if cold beer (or beverage of choice) is poured into the cook and assistant during the process.
Always good for an emergency or when you don't want to put on a full meal but the jet boil and mountain house food. https://amzn.to/3jE9VrZ. https://amzn.to/37RyGia. https://amzn.to/3oDwCAj. https://amzn.to/2HIsePL

Steak and mushrooms, easy to prep and cook.
Also eggs, I can eat them out of the cast iron pan with a little salt and pepper or salsa.
