You mean good stuff to make on a camping trip? As long as you have a cookstove and a flat of water, you can pretty much make anything.
Stove top stuffing (Pot, butter, water)
Zatarains red/blk beans and rice (all you need is a cookstove, water and a pot)
Sandwiches of choice (bread, mustard/mayo, lunchmeat, romaine lettuce)
Instant grits, oatmeal or cream of wheat (mix, pot, water)
Steaks/Chicken — bring frozen in a ziplock full of marinade. The freezing process opens the meat cells for the marinade, and when it’s thawed, its also marinated. Just cook as you like.
Lunchables make great snacks, and string cheese
Salads — string cheese cut in pieces, romaine cut up in a baggie, tomatoes, onions. If you cut the romaine and keep it in a baggie, it’s ready for whatever. If you just leave some as leaves in a baggie, it stays fresh for sandwiches or burgers.
Canned baked beans of choice
5min rice (chicken broth or water, pot)
veggies of choice, cut up in baggies, like zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms & peppers for frying
The prep and packing is all important. Put all the fresh stuff in 1 cooler, all the boxed stuff in a specific plastic container, and all the cooking stuff in another plastic container. That way when you set up your cooktent, you only have 2 containers and a cooler or 2 to set up. And a 8 foot table to put everything on under the canopy. Easy! Flat or 2 of water as well, depending on the length of the trip. Most things need 1-2c water, like rice or stuffing. That’s about 1 of those pint bottles of water. Or you could just bring a gallon or 2 and measuring cups. Either way, just as easy!
Bring more water than you think you’ll need AND more non-water drinks like gatorade/juice/soda/whatever. Even for 3 days I bring about 2 twelves of soda and 8 gatorade, PLUS 2gal water for drinking and cooking. If you have a 2L container for juice (like those frozen cans of juice you add water to), be sure to have extra water. On the last camping trip I made 4 of those, using 2 cans water/1can vodka as the mix — and I went thru a 5th of vodka and a gallon of water JUST FOR THAT. I was amazed.
Always better to go back home with some than to run out.
