What is your must cook meal or must have food for camping.

[RonaldHoward1313]

K.I.S.S. Bacon, eggs, home fries and percolator coffee. For those that know what kiss means...you will understand this.

Best freeze dried backpacking meal is Alpine Aire Forever Young Mac and cheese. Add some diced chicken in a bag and you have chicken pot pie.

My favorite thing is a nice ribeye steak cooked over coals to a nice medium rare/medium. Then for breakfast biscuits and gravy.

With the leftover ribeye in a breakfast burrito

From my tailgating days, I'd have to say bacon wrapped cream cheese stuffed jalapenos and steak fajitas. Both are awesome on a chilly football tailgating picnic or equally on a fall camp...

Do you ever use Dutch oven liners for stuff like that? I've been wanting to try them. I occasionally use parchment paper at home for bacon in the oven an it works great for cleaning up.

I LOVE the aluminum liners in a DO! Clean up is an absolute Joy! Left overs can be put into a cooler with a foil lined lid (if there any left overs)!

How do you pack them for traveling cast-iron?

DO bags, available on Amazon, Sportsman's Warehouse, Wally World, almost anywhere you can buy cast iron pots! Those suckers are heavy enough alone, so an individual bag is perfect! Although I do have a wooden crate I that holds a Cast Iron cook set that has a DO, griddle, skillit, lid lifter and holds some associated cook gear like spatula, tongs, DO liners, etc. I think I picked up the kit at Costco or Sam's Club years ago. Great way to travel with black iron! Need a truck to pull it tho... Lol

Oh that sounds like a great idea would definitely have some fantastic recipes

The best part about camping is cooking meals on wood in the middle of nature. I love scrambled eggs mixed with bacon, veggies, and parmesan. Usually, I don't add any salt or pepper, but a lot of seasoning or fresh parsley/dill. I like to saute veggies like spinach, peppers, and mushrooms to add to the eggs, along with some cheese. Bacon is another great addition to this meal but is hard to prepare well. Click here if you want to see the entire recipe.

Brats & beans. Smoked brats, sausage or bacon & eggs in the morning. Might even take a mountain house biscuits & gravy and coffee.

Pancakes on the griddle with real maple syrup and butter.

We always sous-vide a hanger steak medium-rear before leaving. Then heat a cast iron pan on the fire, add butter, garlic, herbs, olive oil. Stir baby potatoes (cut in quarters) until done, then sear the hanger steaks until they reach your desired final doneness. Quick and easy.

Sausages, bacon, hash browns and scrambled eggs is a breakfast/brunch favourite on my trips.

Johnsonville Better with cheddars over open flame on a "stick"

When I am going light weight or simple I like ramen bombs a lot.

Many different wrapped meals. From breakfast wrap to steak wrap in the evening. Taste great, minimal washing
