make your own and freeze at home, excellent at keeping the cool box cold for a good few days too

A packet of Bens 2 minute Rice, meat of your choice (pre-cooked chicken easiest) or king prawns, chopped vegetables of your choice, Soy sauce or gravy, throw it all into a wok and stir fry on a stove until done. Ingredients of course can vary according to taste.

Yup!
Being on my own, I often cook or prep in bulk at home, portion into individual containers before freezing.
I make freezer packs of meat such as breakfast packs, bacon packs, single item meat portion such as homemade burgers, marinated chicken thighs/pork shoulder steaks, lamb ribs etc...
I have a lot of Lock and Lock tubs in single portion sizes, and a vacuum sealer.
I usually take something from the freezer for the first night as I often do not fancy cooking much after a long drive and setting up.

Great stuff. Thanks guys. We pre made made a curry last time then reheated with boil in the bag rice.
Problem with this trip is we've got a stopover before we travel out. I was wondering if there were any treats in world food isles that are already in a packet and just require reheating? Dhal etc.
You haven't said what your source of heating is. A camping stove, mini oven, microwave? If you have EHU and a mini oven or microwave the choice of pre-cooked meals is endless.
If you are able to boil things in bags then cod steaks in butter or parsley sauce from the frozen aisle might come in handy. Eat with Idahoan Mash which just requires boiling water.

Pie and baked beans. Place the pies on top of the beans in the pan when you heat them.
Mince (either fresh or canned), a can of peas and a can of potatoes. Heat them all together in a single pan,

I like the supermarket packs of dried couscous, to which you add boiling water; leave for 5 mins, stir in whatever you want (tuna, tomato and cucumber I like), add a bit of salad and your meal's ready. Moroccan Medley, roasted veg flavours etc.

People may hate this... But! We find the one thing that is usually in abundance is water wherever we camp :p So, don't transport water! It's bulky and pointless.
Dried everything is our super power. Smash, lentils, pulses, spice mixes, pastas, noodles, rice, soup... etc etc. Then just rehydrate as required lol. They're usually the cheapest items in supermarket anyway and you then just mix what you fancy. Also means people can eat differently which saves arguments with he kids. For stuff that doesn't dry, get tins! They're packed to the brim so no wasted space and no need to refrigerate.
Family and friends think I'm crazy, but I probably pack a weeks worth of food in a days worth of "hydrated" space... And it's fun being different when camping! :D
