Hey all, I wanna pick your brains for Super easy camp dinner recipies/plans that aren't pepperbellies, etc.

The group I'm camping with soon apparantly assigns dinner responsiblities, so you really only have to pack food for one meal, and are fed the rest of the time. The cooks don't do dishes when they cook. I wasn't really expecting this kind of a set up, but hey, I'll give it a try at least once.

I want to do as much meal prep at home before hand as possible, I'm not certain as to what type of a camp kitchen will be available. I think I will have two 2-burner camp stoves. Dunno about a campfire situation. Needs to be for about 10 people. Under these circumstances, even just reheating food will be a challenge. But I refuse to offer or eat greasy, unhealthy food even in this circumstance.

Initially I was thinking about pasta (pre-cooked), with a pesto-type accompaniment (have to go light on tomatoes, someone may have an allergy, need to verify). Meat to mix in (may make meatballs). Garlic bread. Dunno what kind of veggie/salad thing, I feel I should offer it, but honestly that tends to be very neglected by this group. At least I can get some bags o' salad, mixin's, and just let people pull together what they want, and realize less than half will eat it.

For dessert, I will likely do the bread pudding thing with a sauce.

For lunches, I'm going to bring a cheesy meatloaf or two, and live off sandwiches. Love the meatloaf!
