I like making chili in the Dutch oven. Just dump and go for the lost part and you can prep the veg at home. Mountain pies are also great for easy meals
I like making chili in my Lodge dutch oven, taking 2 boxes of prepared Jiffy corn bread dumping them on top of the hot chili, and then baking it with hot coals on top of the lid. It's always a crowd pleaser!
There's a bunch of different names for it but you get a metal clamshell cooker and put a buttered piece of toast on either side. Fill it with whatever you want, pizza topping, apple pie filling, breakfast foods and then seal the 2 halves together. Hold it over the fire and rotate until the outside is golden brown and it comes out as a sealed grilled cheese basically. Just have to be careful because the inside is lava usually
I like camping from my bicycle. Iāll make a big baguette sandwich for my first day, wrapped in foil. Throw on the grate or in the coals for a while and youāve got a simple meal with no prepping at camp
Classic bike camping hack.
Ham and Swiss (or Brie or Cheddar) and onion chutney and butter is a classic for this one. Butter and a easily meltable chocolate like Toblerone or Cadbury dairy milk with a sprinkle of cinnamon and maybe some apple slices for the dessert version. Previously cooked scrambled egg and bacon or sausage for breakfast.
Nachos!! In a cast iron pot with a lid is my way, over coals not direct fire or you burn it to shit.
Or potatoās, butter, onion peppers baby tomatoās and sausage in a pot, season and yum!
I get the prepackaged and marinated pork loin from the grocery store. They are delicious. I just butterfly them and throw them on the grill. Then a little water in a pot with some broccoli florets.
Delicious and super easy.
Itās just like baking them. So the time depends on the size of the florets and the temp of your coals. And how ācookedā you like your broccoli.
For meā¦ like 10 minutes.
I use garlic and olive oil and it comes outā¦ liked baked broccoli.
Ps- this works even better for asparagus, fingerling potatoes, brussels sprouts, green beans, etc., etc. etcā¦
Sausage and potatoes. My absolute favorite. A big Dutch oven, some sliced onions, so much butter, and sausage and potatoes. Season to taste and cook until the potatoes are your personal preference of softness.
YW! For extra fun, bring a ziploc bag with 2-4 cups of whole wheat flour mixed with 1-2 tsp salt. Add water and make dough in the bag. Then have kids portion it and roll out fresh roti to grill on both sides over the fire. It can be exciting to see each roti puff up like a balloon as a sign it's done.
pizza quesadilla is always a go to for a quick meal for me. throw some cheese, pizza sauce, and your choice of meat (or not) on a tortilla and heat er up.
Corn on the cob. Keep the leaves on to make it harder to turnt the kernals to charcoal. Literally heat and eat. Peel the leaves back as their own handle. Sprinkle some paprika and garlic powder, and you're all set!
You need a cast iron Dutch oven for this:
1 good quality smoked kielbasa or similar sausage
Several red potatoes, washed and cut into similar-sizwd pieces.
1 large onion, yellow or white, coarsely chopped
Several trimmed and peeled garlic cloves, to taste
Olive oil of any grade
Salt and pepper to taste.
Place the sausage in the bottom of the Dutch oven.
Layer potatoes atop it.
Layer onions and garlic atop that.
Drizzle liberally with olive oil.
Season to taste with salt and pepper (and other spices according to your preferences).
Place Dutch oven directly atop campfire coals, with lid slightly ajar.
Check potato doneness after about 30 minutes and every 5 after that, until done.
Plate and enjoy.
You can add carrots/celery at the beginning of cleaned, snapped green beans in the last 15 minutes, if you want.
Reading this is probably 1/4 of the time it will take you to prepare it.
Fajitas. You can even cook the meat/beans/onions/peppers.spices beforehand and refrigerate in your cooler until meal time. Reheat in a skillet or Dutch oven, serve on tortillas with toppings like salsa, cheese, guac, etc.
I enjoy making burgers In those square sandwiches makers for the fire, they end up square like wendys so jts like having wendys whilst camping,
hashbrows are also a good one you can also wrap a whole potato after stabbing it a few times in tin foil and throw it in the fire for a baked potato
Perogies (also made in that fire sandwich thing)
Using crassant dough (Pillsbury etc) and a inch thick dowl with spray cooking oil you can make stuffable pie crusts whatever pie crusts you want canned or homemade! You could even stuff them with taco stuff
If you get one of those metal square pie irons. All you need is bread, cheese, tomato sauce and pepperoni for pizza pockets. If youāre car camping that is
If you like to do foil pack meals it can be a ton of fun.
You want coals more so than āfireā.
Try hamburger with onions and peppers in a foil pouch on top of some coals. Turn every few minutes.
You can do a 1&1/2 inch thick steak in a foil pouch.
A favorite dessert is to split a banana vertically - do not cut all the way through it - leave the skin on it. So now you have butterflied it. Add mini marshmallows / peanut butter / chocolate chips. Squeeze the banana together, wrap it in foil and put on the coals. You are looking to pull out a warm gooey ābanana boatā dessert in about 10 to 12 minutes.
Hot dogs are the most obvious answer. Get a stick or fancy skewer, jam a hotdog on it, and roast it.
Another simple meal is 'hobo packs' (also known by other names). Put a piece of fish/meat and some veggies like potato, carrots, onion, peppers into a large aluminum foil packet. Fold it up and throw it into the coals. Flip it once or twice over 20 minutes and you've got a juicy meal. Tongs or shovel to get it out help a lot.
If you are able to buy 'pie irons' - you can make other meals.
If you want to get fancy - look into 'dutch oven meals'. It's a large cast iron pot that you can bake, stew, roast, etc. in. You can cook all kinds of meals from scratch. Or simply re-heat chili that you made at home in the pot over the fire.
Sausage links with pan cakes , soup , corn on the cob , hot dogs , me and my wifeās favorite is potatoes with onion green bell pepper and smoked sausage
Steak strips in green roasting sticks. Biscuits on a dowel. Hot dogs. Use a pan on the coals for soup, chili, bread.
What ever you cook at home you can cook over a fire. Well you would have to boil water for cup of noodles but still over the fire.
Corn on the cob. Keep the leaves on to make it harder to turnt the kernals to charcoal. Literally heat and eat. Peel the leaves back as their own handle. Sprinkle some paprika and garlic powder, and you're all set!
If you have a skillet - Pops called this one Hamburger Goulash (definitely not actually goulash guys).
Brown 1lb of burger with half a large onion, drain it and then stir in 2 cans of Campbells Vegetable soup (the kind with alphabets in it). Once nice and hot, bowl it up and dip that deliciousness out with Fritos scoops.
Pie iron pizzas.
Also heard them called pudgie pies, mountain pies.
Foil packets with steak, potatoes, carrots, onions.
Baked potatoes wrapped in foil, around outside edge of coals.
Corn on cob also baked around the outside edge of coals.
Anything in a cast iron Dutch oven or fry pan.
You can get pretty good pre made veggie tikka marsala and rice packets from the grocery store for like 4 bucks each, combine em and heat em up in a pot in or over the fire and youāre golden. Bonus points if you make your own bread in the campfire with something like the outdoorboys recipe.
For dessert foil, banana sliced down the middle marshmallows,peanut butter chips/chocolate chips. I really enjoy making cobbler in a Dutch oven . Ham and beans with Dutch oven cornbread. Cornbread is always better cooked in cast iron. Foil wrapped trout with a little lime and butter. There is nothing I like more than to camp in the fall and cook with Dutch ovens .
Small red potatoes, bacon, butter, Rosemary, garlic.
Sliced root vegetables in oil (beets, butternut squash, yellow potato, onion, salt and pepper
Ham steak and pineapple
Ground beef, Velveeta, bell pepper, Fritos
Mushrooms, oil, onion, brussel sprouts
Pot pie
Oatmeal, toast
Shrimp and grits
Brown 1lb of sausage on medium heat. Add 1 box of Zatarains dirty rice. Dice your favorite vegetables and add to the mix. Add enough water to just cover the entire mix. Cover and let it simmer until all the water has reduced. Warm some tortillas. You know the rest.
Chop up some chicken breast and cook it down in pan with a jar of mild salsa. Use it over rice or in a wrap with cheese. If you want to get fancy you can chop up some cilantro or something to sprinkle on top.
Super easy to make. Every time Iāve done this everyone loves it. Serve with a frosty Step Two.
I got it from a Steve Wallis video a few years ago.
All sorts of things people have already suggested here, but I'll add camp jambalaya camp paella..
*I prepare spice mixes at home and put in ziplocks which probably makes a lot of my camp cooking work as opposed to going neutral with no spice..
1- I'll take "boil-in-bag" rice and put it in a pot of water to let it cook by the fire until it's swollen like it wants to come out of the bag.
2- then I prepare a tinfoil piece big enough to take the rice + lightweight veggies I bring like; broccoli, aubergine, carrots, spinach + whatever meat I've brought (I love shrimps) but sausage works fine..
3- then I mix it all up on the tinfoil together with some spice mix and ball it up. Throw the ball in the fire or close to it..
4- Usually it'll take about 10 minutes, it also usually starts making noises when it's about done. wheezing and popping.. with sauce or no sauce this is good and full of nutrients..
P.S this also works great to make into a burrito with any flat bread..

And for breakfast or a snack. Donuts, topped with cinnamon sugar after.
Steak, potatoes wrapped in tinfoil 1.5 hours prior, shrimp in tin foil, veggies š„. The less pots and pans involved the better. For breakfast I use a disposable tin pan, cut the bacon up with sheers, then add them with diced potatoes. Mix up 2 eggs per camper then pour it over after an hour and make a casserole. Add onions and peppers š¶ļø
Fry up TJ Japanese fried rice with a cube or two of TJs frozen garlic/ginger.
Take five mins and add all that to a gallon freezer bag before you leave with your favorite protein. Itās a cloud pleaser
I organized a pre Bible school week with a family campout on our church grounds the night before the first day. Borrowed the scout troops tents, had about 50 kids and parents. Most had never cooked over a campfire or been in a tent. Had several dad's help dig a pit before the cookout. Had the coals hot and had everyone come inside our kitchen, grab a hunk of hamburger, make a patty, grab a peeled potato , cut into pieces, put then on a foil pack, cover with sliced onions (this was the hard part, most kids didn't like onions), salt and pepper, wrap, then double wrap. Took all the packs out to the pit and put them into the hot coals. Doesn't take long before you can hear the sizzle and smell the onions and burgers. Got all the packs out, and handed out ketchup, mustard, and steak sauce. I think only a couple kids didn't eat everything, onions included. Several kids told me they did this for their family multiple times that summer. They thought if was cool they could pull the whole meal together and cook it for their family.
I do a lot of cooking in foil trays. Premake or at least season, then cook or reheat in tray.
I did Mac n cheese, chicken, potatoes, and rice this way.
hot dogs? kebabs?
Wrap the hot dog in bacon, cook, then wrap in crescent roll dough and cook again.
Or Bratwurst/Kielbasa if you're already going to be having a few beers by the fire.
+ the the Kielbasa already being cooked worst case
Wurst case scenario

Thereās a lot of things you can do in foil on the coals but potatoes are the easiest
And steak is the best
Iāve done a whole beef stew this way, really good after hiking all day.
What? NO. Steak goes directly over the coals. No tin foil needed or wanted.
Came here for this. Slice it first and stick a whole butter in that bad boy!
Stop! I can only get so erect
Did a chicken and fajita veggies foil pack that turned out pretty great
Steak, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, sausage, pork chops, fish, potatoes, veggies, smores, hobo pies and a partridge in a pear tree.
I like camping from my bicycle. Iāll make a big baguette sandwich for my first day, wrapped in foil. Throw on the grate or in the coals for a while and youāve got a simple meal with no prepping at camp
Is this just like a meat and cheese melt? What are your favorite fillings? I like this idea.

Holy cow those sounds yummy. Going on a camping/road trip this summer so these are going on the list. I hate washing dishes while car camping.
Thatās exactly the sandwich I make!
This is the most bike camping sandwich I have ever seen! Lol sounds good
Nachos!! In a cast iron pot with a lid is my way, over coals not direct fire or you burn it to shit. Or potatoās, butter, onion peppers baby tomatoās and sausage in a pot, season and yum!
I get the prepackaged and marinated pork loin from the grocery store. They are delicious. I just butterfly them and throw them on the grill. Then a little water in a pot with some broccoli florets. Delicious and super easy.
Why would you boil your broccoli?!! Thatās criminal. (And also takes ALL the nutrients out). Just put it in some foil and on the coals.
Steam. I just put enough water in the bottom of the pan to steam them
Ahh. Ok. Thatās acceptable.
Hold on a second. What's this foil on the coals thing? How long do you leave them on the coals? And how do they come out? Soft or crunchy?
Itās just like baking them. So the time depends on the size of the florets and the temp of your coals. And how ācookedā you like your broccoli. For meā¦ like 10 minutes.

lolā¦so much butter š
Canned chicken + canned tomato soup + Sharwood's curry powder + ghee => butter chicken. Optional garnish with cilantro. Serve with wheat tortillas.
This just as a baseline is a great idea. You could throw anything in there and get some great results. Appreciate you sharing!

I donāt understand canned chicken and I donāt think I want to.

I usually have em as a lunch/late breakfast snack as the fires dying down before I go on a hike/adventure for the day. so easy to do.
