I love one pot meals like Carbonara, Bolognese, Curry & my kids favourite Cowboy Casserole (baked beans, onions, new potatoes & quorn sausages) non-vegies can use bacon &  normal sausages, trust me kids and adults love it.

We made spag bol from scratch in the tent on Sunday eve and it was so easy and very tasty!

Normally we take a lot of tinned stuff unless BBQing, but my first real cooking has inspited me to do more of it. Stir fries, curries, stew etc

Have a look here:

Hi that does sound nice do you just throw it all in at same time how long you cook it for

Mmmm, I too am getting hungry reading this thread!

It strikes me as a good idea to take some emergency picnic food for is the weather means you can't cook... on our first ever camping trip to Robin Hood's Bay the weather was vicious and I recall desperately trying to boil pasta but the wind kept on blowing out the stove. I think we had crisps and cream cheese dip, tres nutritious...

Subsequent (more organised) trips always tend to feature bacon cobs for breakfast, preferably with some fried tomatoes for me and a fried egg for OH. Or pain au chocolat/croissants with butter and jam. Generally out and about for lunch but if at camp bread and cheese and salad type picnic stuff. Tea - either a BBQ with couscous salad, pasta and pesto or those packs of caesar salad with griddled chicken. Yum! The cowboy stew above sounds v good - might have to give that one a whirl :o)

I'm really funny about meat as I cant stand fat, but M&S tinned steak is the only one I buy to take camping, add tinned pots and peas and carrots, plus 1 oxo cube and a little more water as we like lots of gravy.  Served with crusty bread and its yummy.

Like most people I take the staples of rice, pasta, bread, stock cubes, biscuits, crisps and some homemade cakes/muffins/scones etc with sausages, eggs etc for fry up first morning.  Also take tins and jars that can be used to make meals when buy fresh meat.  If it is likely to be a late arrival will also cook down something like a chicken casserole, spag bol etc to eat that evening.

But for my girls as long as I have hot chocolate, biscuits and custard in the box then they are happy.

Tinned stuff yes collect them when on offer two for one in our house is one for now and one for camping.  One pot meals are always exciting as you never know what will be in them. 

Favorite afters,    Bananas and custard 

Once after reading on here about how you can cook spaghetti in a thermos flask tried it and it did work    but don't have room to carry a thermos

So your on holiday have fun with your food,  and it always tastes better in a field
