Camp food

Foil packs - hamburger, chicken, sausage, turkey, whatever with onion slices, peppers, mushrooms, potato slices (whatever you like) and sauce (BBQ, Teriyaki, whatever) all wrapped up in foil and placed on the grill. Put fastest cooking items on top as you make your creation. When done eat right out of the foil, minimal prep, minimal mess, maximum enjoyment since everyone build what they like best in their foil pack.

Personal pizza - English muffin half, ladle on some pizza sauce, cheese and whatever other topping you like. Place in cooking pan or pie tin and cover with foil and place on grill.

Dutch oven recipes, dump cakes, cinnamon rolls in a cardboard oven -- well check with just about any Boy Scout.

We have the cheap Walmart Grill too. Just replace as it wears out.

We do the usually, burgers, hotdogs, etc. We also do chops, chicken and steaks.

One of my favorites:

4 hamb patties Grilled

While grilling, sautee one onion in a little oil. Add a package of sliced mushrooms (the type sold in the salad area). cook till mushrooms are done. (Really good if you add a cup of wine and cook down)

Place on top of the grilled hamb patties.

Top with 2 slices of Provolone chesse, to melt.

YummmY!

I need to get a portable gas grill.

Yes you do. My daughter will put one of those cheap refrigerated Mama Rosa pizzas on our grill. She says the cheap pizzas turn out better. We have a cheapie Wal-Mart tabletop grill.

We do pizzas, either in the camper oven or on a stone on the Weber-Q. As said, the thin crust pizzas work better on the grill.

Skillet scrambles for breakfast... one pan meal. Dutch oven meals, roasts, whole chickens with roasted potatoes,carrots, celery, whatever... again on pot meal, Baby back ribs, add baked beans when meat is done and simmer (in dutch oven).

That`s one of the grills I was looking at.

Don`t think the wife wants to be stuck in the camper cooking big meals.

LOL...If DH isn't BBQing, he breaks out his Coleman stove and does the cooking outside unless it's raining, then he cooks inside!

I prep, he cooks, I wash dishes, he dries them. We've got the system down pat. But I do miss our son's now that they are grown because they were the ones that use to wash and dry! ;)

We have the Weber Portable Go-Anywhere gas BBQ. We like it but we miss the old type that had lava rocks. We really don't have room for anything bigger.

Don`t think the wife wants to be stuck in the camper cooking big meals. What kind of portable grills do you have and how well do they work?

We eat pretty much the same meals we eat at home. After all you have all the same appliances to fix it on :)

X 2

I bring homemade already frozen.

like last trip the frozen lasagna I made and brought was fab!

breakfast I bring the biggies for just a few days of camping, bacon/eggs/pancakes....the rest is just some fruit and bagels, cereal, toast etc. I have just a few days of 'heavy' breakfast type cooking and by then we are getting into that zone of 'not too hungry'.....we don't eat heavy when camping, too much too do and too tired to cook lol

dinners will be 1 or 2 nights out because it is vacation....but the rest is bbq....one dinner was steaks on the grill, corn on the grill, broccoli and cheese and toasty bread on the grill. those are the types of meals.

lunches are simple...deli sandwiches, chips, or maybe hot dogs/hamburgers/sloppy joes...etc.

for my 6 yr old DD I bring some frozen pizza slices, frozen corn dogs she loves and a few other kid friendly, fast items. most times I come back with them...lol..but they are easy to grab from the freezer if she wants a snack type food.

Tortilla roll-ups with fajita chicken or beef, cheese, and (for me) picante sauce.

Hamburger helper. I brown/drain the meat and freeze it in ziplocks before we go.

Grilled link sausage my son cooks w/bar-b-q sauce. YUMMMM!

Frito pie. Corned beef hash with chopped potatoes. Canned stew, add a drained can of peas to it, on toast.

I'm getting hungry!!!!
