I love the expedition eats concept. I love marinating some tri-tips In soy sauce Siracha lots of garlic worchestershire sauce with chili powder. Then skewer them up on my Cowboy Kabobs and cook them over the fire Churasco style

At least once per trip?
Well at least once per trip, I make a breakfast of french toast, made with cinnamon swirl bread, with all of the fixings.
Also at least one dinner per trip is made up of a decent cut of grilled beef, which ever looks the best at the time, served with grilled Asparagus, and sauteed mushrooms, and if I am able to pick the mushrooms fresh, all the better.
Finally, at least once per trip lunch is leftovers, wrapped in a tortilla.

I'll be honest, Frito Boats are a MUST for any camping or overland trips. Cheap, easy, quick and delicious. My kids eat it like it's filet minon, as they are usually so tired and amped up the first day, any calories they can get are delicious.

Funny. I associate Frito boats/pies with little league and not camping. Haven't thought about those in years... Might have to pick that stuff up for dinner and see what my GF associates them with.

Although I'm originally an East Coast'r, it amazes me that you cant find this cut on the east coast. When I went back a few years ago, I went to 5 stores and no one had them or even knew what they were!
I second the Tri-Tip idea. I usually cut them up into 1.5-2in cubes and then toss them w/ soy and Montreal seasoning. Throw them on some skewers and you are good to go!

Fajitas are a staple. We do cheat and buy the deli premixed stuff, but it's cheap and ready to go, sometimes we will make it all from scratch.
Breakfast sandwiches with english muffins, egg, sausage and cheese. Simple, but filling.

Fajitas the first night always, pre cut all the veggies then cut up chicken and marinate it in italian salad dressing. Cook the meat and veggies then put the tortillas on top to steam. Fast and easy. Second night Steak as long as there are no fire restrictions.

Grilled RibEyes with fried potatoes & onions. Oh, and one of those green vegetables to keep Merri happy.

Definitely a big pot of chili , cooked a day or two before (chili is better after it sits for a day , let’s the flavors soak in) put into ziplock bags and froze/refrigerated . Throw them in the cold storage box/cooler or in the arb fridge/freezer . Heat it all up when at the campsite , grill up a few grilled cheese sandwiches , throw back some beer . Bam! . I’m ready for a trip now !!!

One of the guys I camp with does a big pot the first night on the trail and then saves the leftovers for the second night. It works pretty good for him.

First night of camping we always have the Hot Mess Skillet
1 lb smoked kielbasa sausage
2 small yellow squash
2 medium red tomatoes
1 green bell pepper
1 white onion
2 TB vegetable oil
1/2 TB minced garlic
1/2 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning blend optional
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 beer if needed for moisture.
I precut the veggies (except the tomato) and kielbasa and have them in ziplock bags ready to go right in the skillet.
