Can any of you suggest some boondocking meals? I'm trying to come up with some good ones to conserve water. I would love your ideas/suggestions of what you make while boondocking. Thanks:)

Steaks and potatoes grilled carrots for color. If you have a couple dogs named soap and water no problem with the dishes.

I do most of our cooking on our Coleman camp grill outside, and most of the time use paper plates.One favorite meal is, I brown up some kielbasa (I use turkey because beef gets pretty greasy) and red bell pepper and onions, then dump them onto a plate, then use the pan, without cleaning it, and throw in frozen diced potato hashbrowns (not the shredded) and cook those up. I season with steak seasoning since that's my all purpose seasoning I keep in the camper. Then, combine everything together, top with some shredded cheese if you like, and eat! My husband likes to have a couple runny eggs on top too. We do this for breakfast/lunch (we eat breakfast late, like 11am), but it'd be good anytime!I'm also a big fan of foil packet meals. If you prep ahead and use paper plates, no dishes at all!Another thing if there's a group, is I buy premarinated meats either from Costco or from the deli counter, and grill those up along with some kind of grilled veggie (zucchini, asparagus, mini sweet peppers, whatever), and then some pre-made, either store bought or homemade, pasta or potato salad. Again, very little dishes.

We use our pie irons a lot when we camp, but we don't boondock. Use spray to keep the items from sticking. Use the bread of your choice, flatten it out an then add the insides. Top with another piece of flattened bread, and close up, heat over the campfire. The insides we do are: pizza pockets (pizza sauce, cheese pepperoni), manwich sandwiches (make the meat at home and freeze) add cheese, chicken pot pies (using non-condensed or drained creamy chicken soups) and others that I can't think of at this moment. We let the crust of the bread hang over the sides and the heat over the fire. I also do pizzas on the fire grate. Place a pizza stone on the grate and then we use the Chef Boyardee pizza kits with extra toppings.We also do lots of soups, frozen bagged meals, and many rotisserie chickens from Sam's, Walmart or other grocery store.These are easy, quick and not expensive meals.

Oh I forgot, we also do quesadillas a lot. You can prep everything ahead of time, just have to actually build them when you want to eat. We often use rotisserie chicken for the meat.

at last week's motorcycle camp out, one of the cooks used a Can Cooker to cook pork chops. He cut them into strips and used garlic and Mountain Dew. Not bad. Cooks fast too.

My absolute favorite camping food: top ramen, throw the flavor packet away, add fried hamburger meat and spaghetti sauce (Prego is good) and shake some canned Parmesan over it.
Sometimes I pre-cook a big batch of it and just heat some up when I'm hungry.
I usually call it "meat crud" but my wife finds other names.

Man... I think I'm gonna go see if I have the stuff to make some of that now!!

NO! Save it for a hot drink in the future. I have about a dozen in my backpack just for an occasional warm-up while hiking.
