I have the basics: omelettes in a ziploc bag, classic s'mores, hot dogs and hamburgers. I'd really like to change up my typical camping menu.

Sliced potatoes, onions & butter in foil over the heat - when potatoes are soft, toss in some shredded cheese and reseal til the cheese melts.
take a 1/4 ounce of mushrooms with you, and let the party begin, wait till night time to eat them.
Canned ham is great for sandwiches, or your favourite canned meat, like maybe salmon or tuna. Bring pancake mix with you, and you can get the kids to pick fresh berries, like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or whatever else that is edible, grows in your area, and is in season. Otherwise, you can bring some with you. Chocolate chips are good too. Trail mixes and dried fruit is another option.
Good old fashioned standby that most people forget about is the Manwich Sloppy Joe! Another version of the aforementioned potatoes B/4 you leave home, cut up 4 or 5 lg Yukon gold potatoes microwave for about 4 or 5 mins so they are already somewhat cooked & won't take all day. place cut up potatoes in aluminum foil "bag" add as much or as little of the following to your own taste butter garlic powder italian seasoning grated cheese. cook over grill until potatoes look slightly browned Yum! Also easy get package of chicken legs (drumsticks) & dump them in a ziplock bag with italian dressing or bbq sauce & stick them in a cooler. When you are ready to cook them, they are already marinated and cook rather quickly --no utensils needed! Happy Camping!! :-)

Box Oven 1 Brick or flat rock 1 Corrugated cardboard box 3 Coat hangers 1 pk Aluminum foil, heavy-duty 1 Metal pie pan, old 4 Charcoal briquets, lit Cover the inside and outside of the box completely with 3 or 4 layers of aluminum foil, including the flaps. Lay box on level ground so that the opening opens oven-style (front-door style is OK, too). Straighten the coat hangers, then run them through the sides of the box about 2/3 of the way up from the bottom to form a rack. Set brick in bottom. Place live coals into pie pan/pie plate. Put pan on brick (don't forget, the PIE PAN IS HOT! Use an oven mitt or hot pad). Place food to be cooked onto coat-hanger rack and close oven door. Watch carefully, checking often. Each live coal makes about 80F. This oven really works. It's great. Have fun!
I can't believe no one mentioned mountain pies?! You know, those metal clamps that you put some butter on, then some bread, then apple pie or cherry pie filling, and stick in the fire (can do grilled cheese too). I like tin foil meals. Start a fire and let it smolder. You want it to turn to hot coals. Put some ground beef on the dull side of a large square of tin foil. You can also use beef tips and chicken if you want, but I like it with ground beef. Add vegetables to your liking. Carrots and potatoes are a must. Peppers and onions are good too. I like to smoosh them into the meat a little, rather than just laying them on top. Add condiments to taste. I usually put ketchup and bbq sauce, then salt and pepper. Use more of the liquid condiments than you normally would, as they'll evaporate as they cook. Steak sauce and worcester sauce can be used too if you like it. I've never tried mustard. You can use any store brand grill spices too. Now, take two opposite sides of the tin foil, and them over the food, like you're wrapping a present. Then take the other two sides and roll them up tightly to the edges of the food. Now is a good time to use a sharpie to put initials on yours if multiple people are cooking. Toss it in the hot coals. Flip it periodically. I think it takes about 20 minutes or so to cook, maybe less. I'm bad with time. Take it out and carefully open it up. Careful of the steam. Add any more seasonings if needed. I eat it out of the tin foil, but you can put it on a plate too obviously. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. This is a really easy thing to make, and fairly cheap too if you have a large group of people to cook for. Especially fun for kids on camping trips because they can make it themselves.
