One-pot meals for camping????

[ratamahatta]

Am I the only one who likes sardines and qinoia? That and corned beef hash mixed with tamales, for those car camping times.

I'm a fan of sardines and mustard on crackers, great to see all the different takes on camp food.....thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I like to add sausage to Ramen noodles too. Another favorite add-on is a foil-packaged salmon steak. They have several flavors -- teriyaki, lemon, and others. I like the lemon.

Here are a few of mine.

At home I cook in the oven and then dehydrate venison. Then I steam and dehydrate sweet potatos and onions. Add ginger and then rehydrate in one pot.

Lo Mein Noodles cooked and drained and then add a foil packet of salmon and a few black olives, garlic and sesame oil.

Boil some water pour some in your cup and add chicken bullion, add instant mashed potatos and then pour the bullion and either a foil packet of chicken or some dehydrated chicken mixed with the buillion (this is not really a one pot since you gotta stage the bullion in your cup)

First night meal: At home take a chicken breast and freeze it. Then put it in aluminum foil with a diced onion, a big shiitake mushroom, some tamari and ginger, olive oil, and a sliced up zuchinni. Keep in the cooler until right before you hit the trail and then put it in a ziplock so none of the juice ruins your pack and cook in the fire the first night.

Buy some dehydrated ground beef, some dehydrated red beans, add a teaspoon of curry and half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 1/4 cup of dehydrated vegetable flakes and add to a pot of boiling water. This one is great if it's sort of cold or rainy and you have been traveling a long way.

great minds think alike !

Yes indeed! Someone on the A.T. gave me that recipe and it's one I never plan on forgetting. It's ultralight and tasty.

Partial to Zataran's products. Super easy, some of them call for butter/oil but it is optional. Red/black beans and rice is a camping favorite for my wife and I.

Yep. You can doctor them up by cooking some bell peppers, onions and sausage in the pot before cooking throwing the package contents in there.

If I'm base camping it I'll cook something in my Dutch Ovens. Normally Chili, Beef stew, Chicken stew, Corned Beef and Cabbage stew (think corned beef as a stew) or BBQ'd chicken and Italian Dutch Oven potatoes. Okay that last one takes two dutch ovens but they are really good.

When camping light I normaly do Gluten Free Thai noodles mixed with dried veggies and have jerky on the side or Hobo dinners. Those two have been a main stay for me this year. The Thai Rice noodle bowls are pretty good but I've found that two Gluten freen Ramon packets with my own dried veggies is more filling and easier to pack. Dried onions, Zucchini, Bell peppers, Mushrooms and the like are really good with them.

Couscous, flavored if possible. If not I juse a beef or chicken bullion cube with it. Then I put a pack of tuna, salmon, or other fish on top. Works out well.

Usually cook it in a freezer bag, pack the couscous I want in it, and just add the boiling water when i am in camp

the 2 classic student meals...jar of ragu spaghetti sauce and no-name dried pasta brand, and ramen...

then when i got my first job after graduating, i discovered the miracle of cheap cuts of meats and the crockpot...

If the car is along, there are many great dutch oven recipes. One of my favorites is potatos sliced into wedges with onions and a clove of garlic on the bottom of the Dutch oven, and pork chops with your favorite seasonings layered over the potatos. Either leave some fat on the chops, or put a little cooking oil on the spuds... Yum.

Sweet onion + ground beef + canned chili beans. Cook the onion down in butter, brown up the meat and add spices (cumin and chili powder). Mix in the beans. Done. :thumbup:
