I'm not a cook but trying to learn. Have been pre-planning meals and having fun with it. Several trips ago after driving most of day, took out some pre-cooked bacon and made couple BLT's and a bowl of soup and salad. Very little clean-up.
Pre-cooking:
Pre-cooked bacon. I cook up about 6 pounds at a time and put into plastic bags and toss a couple packages in RV. Very little clean up, tastes just like it was cooked and doesn't set off alarm!
Pre-cooked waffles. I don't have these mastered yet, but quick and easy for breakfast, take out of freezer and warm up.
Best part of pre-cooking:
I know what I'm going to have for a meal, because I planned it.
Cuts down on trash big time. Food packaging was about 3/4 of our trash when boondocking. Not anymore.
Pre-cooking also makes better use of freezer IMO.
What is really a quick and easy meal for arriving late and if you know the area, pick up a pizza enroute.
