Wow, you guys have some great ideas. No wonder - I see that you all cook for a living. I am a mere secretary. We camp every year with our family & we routinely prepare and serve 300 meals over our 10 day trip. Let me assure you that planning is key. Your menu sounds delish, but expensive, time consuming & stinky (you guys must REALLY like salmon).
I’m not sure what the details of your campout are, but we prepare food a couple weeks ahead of time & freeze it so that no one is chained to the campstove for hours on end. Who wants to stand there & fry bacon in 100 degree heat when there are boat rides to be taken, games to play, rafts to lounge on, and novels to be read?? After all, who’s vacation is this ?!? I’m pretty darn sure it’s MINE.
Therefore, we fry our bacon the day before we leave (15 - 20 lbs of it) and use it throughout the week. It keeps really well in ziplock freezer bags in the ice chest. My mom says that the bacon seems a little “tough” to her, but we (the common campers) are perfectly willing to sacrifice a tiny amount of quality for the huge time/energy savings.
Other things we make ahead & freeze are: breakfast burritos, breakfast bagels, meatloaf, pork fried rice, and those sausage cheese balls that you make with bisquick (double the sausage). I will also cook spaghetti noodles al dente & toss with 1tbsp of olive oil. Throw them in a ziplock & they’ll keep for a week in the ice chest no problem. Add those noodles & a can of ragu to a bag of frozen meatballs & you have fed a crowd in about 10 minutes prep time.
Another thing we do to cut down on the time/energy expense is : if we have spaghetti & meatballs for dinner, the next day for lunch is meatball sandwiches. If we have pork chops, the next day for lunch is bbq pork sandwiches.
I can see that this trip of yours was over and done a couple years ago. Sorry to be late on the draw - but I liked some of your ideas & I hope you find mine to be as useful to you as they are to me. Rock on.
