Hey, looking for food ideas, ideal for a lazy cook. Something like the "wrap in tinfoil, throw in fire, and wait" recipes. I don't mind how long it takes to prepare at home, but something I can make, and throw in the cooler for the weekend.
Easy, fast, lazy campfire food

1. Smoked pork shoulder, shredded ready to heat in a pan with a little water to steam it.
2. Chicken tacos. Pre-cook your chicken, freeze it, add to taco shells with your favorite toppings, shredded cheese, onions, salsa, etc.
3. Delux Shrimp cocktail. You can buy frozen-precooked shrimp, add cocktail sauce, diced red onion and avocado for a great little appetizer or make a meal out it.
4. Chili - make your favorite at home heat it up at the campsite. Add cornbread or crackers.
5. Smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers red onion and an english muffin or crackers.
6. Chicken picatta - saute chicken at home then chill or freeze. Warm back up in a skillet with a little white wine, butter, capers and a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve over cous couse which cooks in 5 minutes.
Just a few that I have done over the years camping with family and friends.

Normally I'm not a Cussco guy but they're pork carnitas are really good! Pre-cooked but you open the package and slap a layer into a cast iron and caramelize the pork and voila!
Have Costco?

Season some ground meat or fresh venison sausage, mix in chopped carrots, potatoes, onions, etc, and then shape into big burger patties. Wrap in foil and lay on dome coals. I forget the time but flip half way through cooking and serve up. Easy and can be made before a trip.

Quickest means the less time on the fire right?
Bake a few spuds in the coals, bring along some veggies and a salad, and then some steaks. fifteen to twenty minutes for the spuds, five minutes on the fire for the steaks, five minutes resting.
Done!

Pre-baked Taters.
Just cook them like a regular baker but cut the time short by about 25%.
Leave them wrapped in foil, they will keep for a long time with out refrigeration.
You can heat them on the grill, on the fire or on the manifold. Or you can slice them up and fry them with onions. Add some ground beef to the taters and onions for a complete meal. Myself, I could make a meal out of fried taters and onions alone.
Here's a quick one. Cook some sliced kielbasi in a cast iron skillet, add a can of drained hominy and cook until the hominy is heated and soaks up the grease from the sausage. I don't know what culture that comes from, it's something my Step Mom would cook for us. I love it.

Throw some Poblanos in there and you got my attention! I'll have to try it...if I ever get to camp again

It comes from the English side of my family, but who knows where it really originates from.
Mom would cook the kielbasa, or other similar sausage type, whole in a covered skillet. The she'd cut it up and return to the skillet, brown the faces some and add the hominy, canned creamed corn, or similar. On a low heat she'd reduce some of the water out to thicken it up some. Takes allot of stirring to keep it from burning. I think it may be mom's answer to not liking boiled cabbage and kielbasa soup.
Cous Cous is the food so good they had to say it twice!!
Awesome ideas - I'm gonna take some along on this weekends venture!!

We have an old family trick like that, too, but with Italian sausages (I prefer hot) once they're browned up, add some red wine and garlic and braise them. Serve over polenta with sliced sauteed mushrooms. Usually a chunk of parm was to be had on the side, and a vegetable peeler to slice flakes off it.
In the case of grits and polenta, nothing helps it out like some good campfire smoke!
