Need some caravan/camping friendly meal ideas!

[~Trish~]

Oooh, some great ideas, thanks everyone!

Amelia - I'd love to take our SC, but we have absolutely no room! We have to pack so much stuff because we are away for so long, so unfortunately I can't bring it.

Mac and Cheese
Savoury Mince
Fritata/Quiche
Hamburgers
Apricot Lamb Curry
Jacket Spuds
Tune Pasta Salad
Maybe some BBQ type things - like coleslaw and sausages

are you staying in van parks ?? cause if so most parks have fantastic csamp kitchens so you can basically cook anything you want

What about making some meals & vac sealing them? Then you could just put it in the fridge for the day & heat it up over the stove? This is what we do on big trips just to take the pressure off. Great for those nights when you've been travelling all day & don't have much daylight or energy left!
I have book called Caravan Chef that I found very useful while camping. Includes things like
Savoury Omlettes
Chicken Noodle Soup
Pasta dishes
Stir Fried Rice
Chicken Risotto
Veggie Risotto
Chicken Casserole
Stir Fried Beef & Veggies
Salmon Rissoles
Curries
All done on the stove too.

Good luck!

You could use couscous in place of rice for some dishes - it cooks by just adding boiling water

i just cooked the following for dinner tonight and thought of you, its cooked in one saucepan
its quick and easy and tbh you could use any type of meat including left over sangs in this or a bought roast chook etc..
you could also add what ever vegies you have at the time

original recipe

oil
1kg chicken thighs (i use two thighs for all us)
2 zucchinis
2 leeks (used onion tonight)
6 roma tomatos (i used a tin of toms)
300g (1 1/3 cups) of risoni pasta
160g (1 1/3 cups) olives
2 cups chicken stock

i cheat and cook the easiest way!
cook onion for a few mintues, add chicken and brown, add vegies and tomatoes, then add risoni, olive and stock, bring to boil and simmer for 10 or so minutes, remove from heat and stand for 5 mintues!
