Quick Simple Dinners?

OP here, still lurking, getting some good ideas, thanks! Yes, looking for a hot meal. Another complication is being diabetic, so some of the sweet canned items are out of consideration. I'm getting a Fire Sense Small Yakitori Charcoal Grill so I can grill hamburgers, hot dogs, packet dinners, etc. anywhere, any time (I can carry this and charcoal in a bucket for easy transport and storage).
Mountain Mama - I chop up a couple of hot dogs and throw them in a pot with a can of Wolf Brand chili, then sprinkle on some cheese and onion (as an alternate to Frito pie, that's easy and good also). Once again - no oven!
Millicentlake - Like most men, yes, I can do most any breakfast item, so a little baggy of pre-prepared omelet fixin's would simplify a breakfast item.

What about make your own beanie weinies? Cut up 2 or 3 hot dogs into a can of pork & beans; heat up. I used to do this when my kids were little. Easy!

Walking Tacos - Brown hamburg at home and freeze. At state park, heat hamburger and a packet of taco seasoning mix(only adds water to make)let it warm up. Get a bag of Doritos (single serve bags you can dump everything right in - I use the big bags and plates) lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, taco sauce, sour cream and anything else you would like.

Hamburger Helper, Tuna Helper, Chicken Helper all can be made in a skillet.

Omelets can be made in a ziplock bag and boiled in water to cook. Just add whatever you want to the egg mixture first.

The spaghetti is a good idea for a hot meal. You can cook the spaghetti ahead, store it in the water, and reheat it in hot water.

OP, is your aim to have a hot meal at dinner?

Have you experimented with the jarred spaghetti sauces out there? some are pretty good. If you find one you like, cook some pasta like penne or rigatoni at home, mix liberally with sauce and spoon into zipper plastic bags. With some crusty bread and a salad, a good meal you can heat in your pot or skillet. (Be sure to take a shaker of parmesan cheese).

Skillet -- how about grilled cheese sandwiches? You can vary the breads and cheese to experiment - a very filling meal with olives, carrot stix, perhaps a side of soup you heat up in your pot? Of course you can add ham, etc.

Second the person who says to bake, broil or grill a number of chicken breasts before you leave home. Nothing beats cold chicken, crusty bread & butter, white wine and perhaps some cheeses, pickles, olives and veggies & dip for a meal in warm weather. Or, you could heat them and eat with steamed veggies, fried potatoes, whatever suits you.

It took years but I finally found a decent deli roast beef (Dietz & Watson top round) without a lot of seasoning. Get a pound of that and you can heat in your skillet with a jar of whole button mushrooms & Heinz Bistro Au Jus gravy (comes in a jar) - make a lovely French Dip sandwich with a handful of potato chips, a big dill pickle and a salad.

How about pizza? Get those Boboli crusts, a can of pizza sauce (I like contadina), a can or jar of mushrooms, a bell pepper and a package of hormel pepperoni along with a bag of shredded mozzarella from the grocery store. Voila! Pile on the ingredients plus whatever others you like, put the pizza in the skillet (I'd buy the personal size pizza crusts and make multiples; good for lunch or breakfast the next day) and you've got a great meal with a salad, a beer or Coke.

Do you do omelettes?

Again, not sure if you are looking for recipes or just ways to assemble prepared food. Can you bake some large potatoes at home before you leave and heat them in the skillet? A dollop of butter and sour cream, some crumbled bacon you cook at home, some chives -- with a beer or wine, a great lunch or dinner. Add a can of French Onion Soup (or make it from the packet; Knorr is decent) and some of that deli roast beef and you have a meal fit for a king in minutes.

Then there's the fruit meal, the snack plate (cheeses and relishes and hummus), the yogurt -- you can have a really varied diet without much cooking at all.

Personally, I try to avoid ANY processed foods; especially while on the road. They mess w/my digestion AND high BP and just generally sap my energy. Although sometimes, a couple of small cans of BeanieWeenies can go down pretty good with some crackers after a day's drive.

One thing I really like on the road is a Hobo Lunch. Take ½-pound of hamburger and make them into 2 patties. Place each on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Cut up potatoes, onions, green pepper, broccoli, cauliflower – whatever amount and combination YOU like! – and toss on the foil w/the burger. Season to taste (I use some black pepper and a dash or two of Tony Chacheré's. Careful though: It has LOTS of salt in it!). Wrap up well (there are juices that will come out of the meat in cooking; be sure to tear off a large enough sheet so that you can wrap everything up in once piece of foil) and bake at 400° for 50 minutes to an hour. Voilà!! Dinner! This goes great with some white rice.

You can cook both at once OR save the other in the 'fridge for a day or two later. (I wouldn't keep it for more than 2 days unfrozen, however).

If you want to buy a package of this add it to a package of that and make a decent meal, here you go: http://www.easyhomemeals.com/

Swift makes some really easy dry rub meats. Just wrap them in foil and put in the oven for about 3 hours (they suggest putting on the grill for a few minutes first, but it is not necessary). Vacuum seal in meal size portions using the freeze overnight before sealing method. Cook in the sealed bag for 15 minutes in boiling water. Serve with a rice side dish, or tossed green salad or baked potato. Yum! Frozen vacuum sealed foods will last a long time in the freezer.

If you can get a few of the old dark brown MREs you can just leave one laying out in the sun to heat it.

It takes about an hour at noon in mid July.

You can do a lot with a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese.

1. 1 can mushroom soup, 1 can tuna, 1 sm. can drained peas

2. 1 can cr. mushroom soup or cr. chicken soup, 1/2 cup cooked chicken or turney, 1 can drained green beans.

3. 1/2 lb.hotdogs cut up, 1 can chili soup or tomato soup, 1 can drained corn
