A few of ours:
- Grilled ham n cheese sandwiches in a pie iron. I have those every single trip (sometimes for every meal
).
- Breakfast burritos: Tortilla, egg beaters (taste nasty, but they're better than cracked eggs), cheese, veggies prepped beforehand
- Homemade lunchables: crackers, meat, and cheese.
- Grilled chicken and potatoes in a pie iron
- Hot dogs/bratwurst
- PB&J made beforehand (or on the trail)
- cup o noodle/ramen
- quaker instant oats cereal
I always make sure i have extra bagels, bread, meat, eggs, and cheese around.

subscribed.... I cheat and have prepared breakfasts (breakfast bars, mini-donuts with 10 years of preservatives, etc. and some milk for my old man stomach), something really exciting for lunch like Chex Mix or similar and put some effort into dinner (dutch oven roast or something ).
).

totino's pizza folded in half in a double pie iron. Best $1.50 camp meal around.

I always take real eggs.. just crack them into a nalgine bottle before we go so I don't have to deal with shells or broken eggs
I always like pie iron pizza.. but use flatbread as the crust and your normal pizza stuff
You can always get AL liners to go in your dutch oven too.. I do this when making breakfast scrambles, Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and cheese all in one dutch oven

awesome idea.
For breakfast we often make ziploc omelettes.
Take eggs (3 or 4 or however big you want your omelette) an crack open in a ziploc bag (quart size iirc) add cheese, diced ham, or whatever you fancy in your omelette, mix thoroughly by mashing everything between your fingers (with the bag zipped/sealed, duh) and then place whole baggy in a pot of boiling water. Lay a long wooden spoon across the top of the pot and drape the top of the baggy over the wooden spoon to keep the bag upright. This will cook your omelette into a better shape and it will be easier to grab your baggy when it is cooked finally. When it is cooked it will slide right out of the baggy and onto your plate and you can toss the baggy. Works well, makes a killer delicious omelette ha. Super easy clean up because the pot only had water in it, and you didn't really use any utensils to cook it otherwise.

I forgot about ziplock omlettes. Now I use crock pot liners though, they don't melt and leach toxins into the food.
My wife makes soup, freezes it in crock pot liners, then we just just thaw it at camp.

It's not really camping but sometimes I cook a can of chicken noodle soup on the engine of either the work truck or the work equipment. The 6.0 power stroke has a nice place right up top of the intake manifold that holds the can nice and tight ha. And coupled with the easy-open can top, makes for a good hot lunch haha. I once forgot about my can for 2 work days though, ate it the 3rd day when I remembered it. Thrice cooked chicken noodle is still good ha

We make tinfoil dinners and cook them at home, freeze them and put them in the cooler, then just throw them on the fire at camp till warm. No pans to clean up at all.

I'm a huge fan of prepping things beforehand for short trips, but one of my favorite dutch oven quickies is frozen burritos smothered in canned chili and enchilada sauce.
I've been meaning to do a toasted PBJ in the pie iron, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I wanna do pie iron pizza pockets, too.

In general, I eat better when I'm camping than I do at home. My regular camping dinner menu items...
Rib eye steak and fried garlic potatoes or sauteed peppers and onions - at least one night every trip and sometimes every night on a trip!
Fried chicken with buttered rolls and mashed potatoes and gravy
Cod, Halibut or Mahi fillet in a basil pesto or chili sauce with fried cabbage
Chicken fried steak with buttered rollls and mashed potatoes and gravy
Terriyaki chicken wings
Pie iron calzones, pre-made pizza dough, pizza sauce, shredded cheese, pepperoni slices, sliced olives, diced onions - I'm starting to do this one on most two night trips that include a campfire, one is a pretty big meal for me
And of course the occasional brats or cheeseburgers
Cherry or apple turnovers in the pie irons for desert
Occasionally I'll take an ice cream ball and make homemade chocolate ice cream - nothi like homemade icecream at the Maze Overlook!
I don't usually cook breakfast and if I do it is only oatmeal. But on longer trips with other people I'll do breakfast burritos for everyone on one morning, or I've even done these for lunch for a crew before. Start by cooking fresh tortillas, then one skillet full of bacon sausage and another full of scrambled fresh real eggs, serve build-your-own-burrito buffet style with fresh hot tortillas, bacon sausage, scrambed eggs, shredded cheese, olives, onions and taco sauce. Never had any leftovers on this one...

foil dinners, burgers, premade at home with all the goodies also cut and washed beforehand. either steak or chicken with baked potatoes on night usually. chilli dogs, open a can of chilli and throw it o nthe grill next to your dogs, with onions and cheese. lunch is sandwhiches, or grilled hotdogs on the trail. Breakfast is usually oatmeal or bagels, or i will throw a left over baked potatoe on in the fire and eat that with ketchup, camping hashbrowms. basically, whatever i can prepare at home and keep i nthe cooler is good to go. my wife usually has cut up veggies and fruit cause she is much healthier then i am. I usually grab some doritos and am good to go.

Lately I've been on a yogurt + granola + fresh fruit kick when camping for Breakfast. String cheese, crackers and some ham are good for lunch. I've avoided the lunchables prepared pack since I opened one up and the ham/cheese was green.

Mountain House meals are actually very convenient (just boil water) and quite tasty - especially the Lasagna...when you can find it... I use these when hunting multiple days and all I have is the pack on my back.
Walmart usually has them, but here's more info:
