1. First, I have to throw this in...I am in no way affiliated with this product but if you are a camper you'll appreciate the link below, I saw this on Ad Age, oddly enough, as it's commercial has received kudos. This "two second tent" is so ingenious it make me want to go camping too, and I live in Manhattan. I'm sure they'd toss me right out of Central Park - tent and all! Good luck with your meal. When I was younger I was in the scouts. We used to make and cook foil packs directly in the coals of the campfire. It was always fun and tastey. You can do a search on it for ideas/variations. I put one link below that is similar to what I used to do. If you are bringing a cooler, and driving to the campsite, almost anything goes. If you need to carry it or backpack any distance, go for lightweight foods that are easy to reconstitute like mac and cheese etc. PS don't eat in your tent and keep your food in a bear bag if you are really getting off the beaten track. good luck
2. Ok - Tacos -- easiest thing to take camping... Cook the ground beef, put in a Ziploc in ice chest, and heat in a skillet on the grill or in oven. Take tortillas, shredded lettuce, diced tomato's and onions, shredded cheese and what ever else you want. Heat tortillas on the grill or in the oven and serve.
3. look up Chile Verde, its one of my family's camping favorites
4. i recommend that you try different herbs in plenty
5. smores: put a marshmellow on a stick and burn it over a fire and put hersheys on top of the marshmellow and put them between 2 graham crakas mmmmm dats good stuff

7. thats not hard. smores!
8. grilled chicken, grilled pork, grilled corn on the cob! DON'T FORGET THE SMORES!!!!
9. hot dogs. easy
10. Hot dogs.
11. When I used to camp, we would take foil and make a little pouch out of it and through ground beef and veggies, potatoes, cheese, pasta, anything that sounded good together. Then cook it over the campfire until it was warmed through. It was really good....~
12. Sausages , vegetables, pasta
13. a pita pizza! all you need is a fire pit. you don't need all that other crap. take pita, put tomato saucce and cheese, wrap it in aluminum foil, and put it in the fire. Its soooooo good.
14. bbq
15. buy a pie iron from wal-mart, Target, wherever, and use chili, pudding, or your favorite as the filling
16. camp food is to be simple....soak corn before shucking...then grill it..soaking it keeps if from burning and steams the corn.... cut up veggies (potato, onion, bell peppers..etc..and put in one of those oven bags Reynolds makes...then dump in some Italian type salad dressing.......asparagus is easily grilled as well
17. try thid one... mix spciy tuna, pork and beans, and corned beef in a frying pan. eat with bread and/or rice.
18. when I camp I love to make breakfast burritos. Fry up some bacon. Then scramble some eggs. Break up the bacon add it to the eggs mix in some cheese and chilis. through that with some sals on a tortilla and yum. Takes like 15 min. The whold forrest smells like bacon. It's good energy. Ican't say enough good .
19. Take bisquick, make some dough, wrap it around a stick and toast it over the fire like a hotdog. Add some wild berries to it if you want...
20. smores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................I'll bite ur butt if u don't know how to make them
21. I precook hamburger and put it in a baggie, then take pork and beans and mix the hamburger into it. Kids love it! I also take hash browns and use them for our potato source, very easy!
22. make a casserole ahead of time... slice potatoes really thin, slice some kind of sausage or other meat, put in a dish, pour cheese sauce over it, bake it.. yum! You could also just make a big bowl of pasta salad or macaroni salad - great for lunches and dinners
23. Taco sald where you mix evrything together on a bowl.Put in all the taco ing. you like, chopped lett., cheese, beans, ground beaf,tortilla chips, ranch dressing or salsa. And have you evr BBQ a turkey .I have . They are wonderful.
24. Wilderness Potatoes...Slice potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch chips. Cut up some onions and green peppers. Add some cooking oil to a pan on your stove. Fry up some onion and add the potatoes. Cood until almost done and add green peppers. Salt and pepper to taste. (Learned from my Uncle camping on an Island in Lake George NY)
25. Campfire Hobo Stew: * ground beef or stew meat cut into small pieces * vegetables of your choosing - corn, green beans, carrots, onions, bell peppers * garlic * butter * salt and pepper, to taste or Frito pies: * 1 can Chili Con Carne, with or without beans * shredded cheese * shredded lettuce * chopped onion * diced tomatoes * individual bags of Fritos email me and i can give you more details!

27. I once went camping with my dad and Half brother, during a time when he was trying to bond with us and I was soooo surprized about his camp/cooking skills. He took chicken breastsss, and precooked and seasoned, wrapped them individually so when we were ready for them they went right on the grill in tinfoil. Ready in minutes. Did something simular to marinated seasoned veggies.
28. Well hamburgers, grilled corn on the cob, hot dogs, steak, smores and chicken
29. Corn Chowder is what my friends mom makes when we go camping and it's the best!! she just cooks it at home in a large pot and brings it in the camper and you can eaither heat up the pot or a bowl in the microwave. She just puts bacon, pototaoes and corn in hers with the chower. It's great!
30. We like Sloppy Joes -- and they're easy! One large tin of beans, a pound of hamburger, a tin of tomatoes and a tin of spaghetti sauce, and one chopped onion. Mix it all together in one pot, simmer, and enjoy. If you're backpacing, all of these ingredients can be freeze dried. It's a great one pot dinner. Have fun on your holiday!
31. Smores 2 gram crackers piece of chocolate marshmallow Directions: put marshmallow on a stick and warm over fire put chocolate on gram. take marshmallow off stick and put on other gram. squish together
32. Grilled vegetable Medley: Chopped onions, bell peppers (any color), broccoli, and cucumbers. Chop all of it up to bite size, mix in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, ad some salt and pepper. When you get to the fire, grill in a basket whose holes are not big enough to lose the pieces. Absolutely scrumptious.
33. Try this link: http://camping.about.com/cs/outdoorcooking/tp/campingrecipes.htm
34. We take foil packs to cook on the grill. In a foil pocket add cut up smoked sausage, sliced potatoes and sweet onions. Poke small holes in the top before you put them on the grill. Add a liitle butter. Homemade cony sauce to heat up is always good for the hotdogs on the grill. Easy snack mix to make and take..... Mix 1/2 cup oil, 1 pkg dry hidden valley ranch,and 1 tablespoon dillweed in a bowl. Add a package of oyster crackers and mix well. Throw in the microwave for 2 minuites and take out and stir well. Place back in the microwave for 2 more minutes. Stir well....soooo addictive!
35. If you have a fire, the best thing to do is meal in a foil. Buy: Tin foil Meat potatoes mushrooms onions and garlic Take the all the ingredients and season to taste. Wrap them in a layer of foil, then a layer of wet news paper, then another couple layers of foil. (The wet NP keeps the ingredients moist) Then when you get to the camp site, start a fire. Once you have some good, hot coals going, put the meal in a foil, next to the hot coals. Keep turning and in about 25 minutes you have a tasty, hot meal. Much better than Ramen. Also, if you buy corn on the cob in the husks, you can wrap those in foil and cook them in the fire the same way. Finish with Somores, not original, but always necessary! You won't regret it. :D
36. Cook some oatmeal with water and then add non-dairy creamer instead of milk, and whoo!! it tastes like oatmeal with butter!!! yummy. That's what I did when we ran out of food when I went camping to Yosemite National Park for three days.
37. Hobo packets... Put a hamburger patty on a square of foil. top with sliced onions, slice potatoes and a strip of bacon. Wrap well and put on the edge of the campfire. Let cook unitl potatoes feel tender. You can also make shish kabobs over the hot coals, with cubes of meat and veggies. Also, in girl scouts, many moons ago, we made these banana smores things...take a whole banana, with the peel still on, and make a slit in it. Stuff it with mimi-marshmallows and pieces of hershey bar. Wrap in foil and put on hot coals for 10 minutes. Open and scoop out with graham crackers. I once saw a recipe using the little brown paper lunch bags where you covered the botttom of the bag with a slice of bread, then put in a few strips of bacon, and then broke an egg over it. Then you rolled the bag closed, pushed a stick through the fold, and cooked it over the coals...I never tried that. It seemed a little far-fetched, but if you do it and it works, let me know.
38. you could try baked onion ...get some sweet onions .do not cut off the roots ...peel and slice them in quarters not all the way thru ..just down about a 1/4 from bottom of root.lay on tin foil and take and sprinkle with lemon pepper a dash of worschester sauce and a taste of butter ..add a dash of cajun seasoning ..wrap up with foil and bake inb oven ..can be prepared before you leave home ..
39. not realy a recipe but you could always roast marshmellows =D cant go rong with that

41. take hot dogs and hamburgers. A small potato or macaroni salad would go well too. Or even a regular salad with lettuce, carrots, cucumbers. those are easy to make and easy to take camping. I also have ahead of time part boiled ribs, put them in a container or plastic ziplock bag (make sure ribs cooled first) poured barbaque sauce over them and let them sit till ready to cook, shouldn't take too long for them to cook up. Have fun.
42. HOBO MEATLOAF Hamburger patties, or cubed steaks sliced potatoes and carrots big slices of onion On a large square of foil, put 1 or 2 onion slices. Put meat on top of that, then potatoes and carrots. Season with season salt, or your favorite seasoning. Wrap up tightly. Cook on a grill for about 45 minutes. BAKED BANANAS Bananas mini chocolate chips mini marshmallows Peel one strip off of banana, but don't remove. Cut a long "v" shaped slice out of the banana. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows. Replace the banana's peel. Wrap tightly in foil. Cook on grill until marshmallows and chocolate chips are melted.
43. Charlie...help yourself to all these. http://www.recipezaar.com/r/459
44. first of all freeze meat , or anything that can be (i freeze juice,,,water, semiskim-milk) to keep food cool in cooler longer -if you are anywhere near a fishing place nothing, but nothing, beats fish freshly caught, still in memory when we caught salmon and BBQed on beach, or trout my neighbour stuffs pitta bread thinly with raw mince (mixed with spices) + tomato sauce, brushes it with oil and puts on BBQ, UUUMMMM, good alternative to burger -also made kebabs with meat, mushroom, onion, cooked baby 'tatoe, "meal on a stick" -kebabs can be made from fresh fruit too (fruit can be cut when needed), more fun to eat
45. Check out the TV show Campfire Cafe on RFD TV. or go to their website, www.campfirecafe.com there are a lot of interesting recipes there.
46. My husband makes a great dish--hobo potatoes. Take along some aluminum foil. Dice up some potatoes, skin and all, and place them on two sheets of the aluminum foil. Top it off with 1-2 Tablespoons of butter. Then wrap the foil around it--he folds each ends twice, then does the same thing with the wrap at the top. Put them in the coals at the edge of the fire, flipping them occasionally to make sure they cook evenly. You can squeeze the packet occasionally (hopefully with an oven mitt), to see if they're soft yet. Once they are, they're ready! Add salt or other spices if you like, but they're also good as is.
47. make some kebabs - using anything you fancy meat or vegetables serve them with rice, pasta anything filling mmmmmmmmm
48. easy and cheap foil parcels, or in a pan over some heat,bung in turkey strips, a tin of chick peas, tin of sweetcorn, couple cloves garlic, tablespoon tomato puree, tin chopped tomatoes and some dried thyme and parsley.everythings dried or tinned,apart from the turkey,its really tasty and filling,just buy more ingredients according to the amount to feed,enjoy!
49. bbq aand lots of salads
