We ‘can’ food too, but use glass instead of cans. Cans are now plastic lined and we try to avoid that.

Smithfield pre-seasoned pork tenderloins. We call it "turd in a bag". Can't get much easier, cut the top off, toss it on the grille.

There's plenty of food value in beer, but practically no beer value in food.
The best camping food is whatever someone else cooks, so you don't havta mess with anything.
^ Funny...I remember @Cruiserdrew telling me a bunch of years ago, after he got back from Alaska Cruiser Trek, hot dogs and ketchup were the go to for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And ketchup was considered the 'vegetable' of the meals.

When I was young and went fishing often with an uncle I think(?), all we ever had was a cold hot dog on a piece of white bread. No condiments.
I learned a poorman's recipe from South America. You take regular white rice, and a few well-cleaned whole eggs in shell.
You start the water boiling, get your dry rice in there, then put your eggs in the same pot. When the rice is cooked, so are the eggs!
Then you have some curry powder, cooking oil, onions and garlic, tomatoes simmering in a pan nearby. Gently roll your shelled hardboiled eggs in the curry sauce, dinner is ready!
This one really keeps costs and fuel to a minimum.
Otherwise, Minute Rice works much faster when you need rice at a campsite, but won't work here.

This is often my problem.
I've been in the habit lately of making burritos with various stuffings (breakfast ones, dinner ones) ahead of time, wrapping in tin foil and sticking them in the fridge in the truck. Makes it really easy to heat up and chow down when I get hungry.

I really like the indian food packs they sell at Trader Joes. You just drop the pack in boiling water for 3 minutes to heat it up and put it on top of rice, quinoa, noodles, whatever and then toss some fresh diced onion, cilantro, any veg to make it extra nice. Quick, easy, cheap, healthy and filling.
