You pull up at a campsite and it is 1hour before sunset !!

What meals do you cook that are quick and easy or do you have prepapeard meals ready to go.

Whether you have kids or not, it would be interesting to hear what members do.

Snag sangas are a staple.
Noodles and Leggos spaghetti sauce with meat takes less than 6 minutes.
Jaffles or toasties done in the frypan.
Uncle Bens rice in a bag with stuff added.

Vacuumed pack Massaman Curry or the like ( make sure it is double sealed ) and place whole bag in boiling water. Once heated through, remove from water, cut the bag open and pour into bowl, ready to eat. Simple and no pots to clean. Can do this with pre cooked rice also. We do this with Spaghetti Bol, chilli concarne and all stews. Chilli con carne is great with potato out of camp fire.....

We are the same. Pre-cooked meals. Quick & easy. Spend a few hours making them before you leave, will give you more time sitting on the banks of the creeks on the OTL

For our first night we seem to have fallen into a habit of having a Birds Eye Create-a-Meal (honey soy) with chicken. The chicken is already chopped up (done at home) - fry it up, add the sauce and vegies from the pack and Bob's your uncle - nice and quick and very yummy with lots of vegies. Sometimes add some 2 min. noodles but not always.

Other quick ones after a long day's drive are sausage sangas or jaffles. Love jaffles with left over spag. bol. with cheese.

We generally carry several pre prepared meals such as green chicken curry, spag bol sauce, beef and onions in red wine, etc etc etc sealed in vaccuum seal bags. Then it is a simple case of mashing some spuds or preparing some rice or pasta and we're all done.... Found we can watch the accompaniments cooking while enjoying a glass of the good stuff! If we get in a little earlier then obviously we go the full three course dinner, white table cloth, candles and alike!!! (I wish!)
Cheers.

Likewise, I do the same but with Chicken Tikka Masala or Chicken Madras. Last time I did this was on a Snow camp in the High Country in August, I was staying in my mates CT, I said I would take care of dinner when we arrived there. 10 mins of Tikka Masala in boiling water and we were done. I think my mate was pretty impressed overall!!

Spag bolg is a good one to do as well. My Vacsealer is just a $99 one from Aldi a couple of years ago, but it does the job.

We sometimes take pre-made corned beef hash.

Mix up:
Mashed potato
Tin of corned beef
Onion (raw or cooked)
Tin of baked beans
Worcestershire sauce

Quick to make, quick to reheat, and the onions and bean combo gives you at least 3 hours of Mel Brooks style merriness around the campfire

More beans, Mr. Taggart?

The last extended trip we had frozen servings of
1. beef & black bean mix
2. Spag Bog
3. Sweet N Sour pork
4. Sweet N Sour Chicken
5. Lightly curried Mince

So all I needed to do was re-heat the main item and boil the water for pasta, noodles, toast or jaffle iron on fire
I used the microwave type of packet rice and just chucked it in with the dish. Worked well!

cheers
