if you get a oven turkey roster bag and dump your crock pot dinner in to it and put that in to the crock pot 1 less dish to have to do.I usually bring at least 2 days of meals for the crock pot.I do the prep at home put meals in zip lock ready to dump in oven bag in the crock pot. beef 1 day pork the next 2 min in the am cabin smells great when you get back.bust out the plastic plates and plastic forks clean up is like 2min good to go. I have found with meals that take longer than 10 min to cook don't get cooked sounds like less work to stop at the bar on the way home.then that leads to some guys straggling behind in the am and every one having to wait around because some people have no self control

Wow. Great responses from everyone. Looks like a crock pot is a must and I even like the idea of bringing a grill along. Thanks for all the ideas.

Our group divies up the cooking. Some prefer making breakfast others prefer making dinner. Works out pretty good that way. We usually cook a good breakfast and then stop somewhere on the trail and eat a light lunch. We then prepare a feast at night back at the cabin. Have a Coleman Roadtrip grill that is easy to set up each time. The crock pot also gets used frequently. We go through alot of canned potatoes as they are very simple to prepare.

If all else fails we head to Camp 33 brewery.

canned potatoes? When did they come out with those? Dang, all I get is smurfriders steak and to die for baked potatoes. Oh and side salad. We really rough it. lol. this weekend the guys got Lasagna, steaks, white chilli, Henry's smorgasboard, and the better grade frozen Pizzas. Not sure why we gain weight away from our wives cooking? Us poor hungry sledders. (so they think). It's our secret. The best is the bed and Breakfasts in Canada. To die for. When we get home it is "Oh we got by, snickers and a diet cola, I missed you!". Then the feasting starts all over. No wonder why I went from 185 to 235 in a season.

We do what the majority on here do. We get up, make breakfast, gear up and hit the trail. Usually catch lunch at one of the fine establishments on the trail and come back to camp for a big dinner, usually pre-made at home. One tradition we started for breakfast that sounds kind of strange but is actually really good is fried hot dogs and scrambled eggs. We get the good natural casing weiners, split them down the middle, and fry em up. Good stuff!

Plan ahead & have more fun

I also like to prepare ahead since it seems us ladies are in charge of the meals. Not a strict menu - flexible and easy prep. cook times.
Just have to do a little thinking ahead.
Even if its all guys - I'm sure someone can turn on the oven or plug in a crock pot and dump stuff in. ;)
Breakfast Casserole from GFS along with toast or wraps and salsa. (Needs an hour to 1.5 hours in oven from thawed state). Also great as left overs to reheat. Feeds a lot.
I cook up Chilli meat at home & keep in zip lock. Throw all ingredients in the crock pot and go ride! Another good one is soups/stews (Bear Creek) has the packets very easy along with sandwiches. Hotdogger/Muff Pots are also great during the day. I keep protein bars with me also. Anything to keep the cost down and spend more time out ridin!

I love the bacon cheeseburger pizza---does anyone else make them besides Jack's? Bought 3 of them last night.

There is a place called the Bear Den (if I remember right) up by Chetek, WI.

They have a cheeseburger pizza and I think it had 2 pds of bacon, holy moly, it was to die for.

After reading this I had to go to portillos for a beef and some of there cake. Sure was good. Reminds me I have to pick up a portillos chocolate cake for Mass City next week.

We have done the breakfast and dinner in cabin also. Just bring the crockpot with some preped stuff just throw it in and go. And or beef, chicken, pasta, eggs and coffee cake. We like paperplates and plasticware easy to clean up.

I can't believe no one has said Ramen...

It's a meal for ten cents!

Also, a wise man once told me there's a pork chop in every beer.

A great breakfast is bisquits and sausage gravy. Make the gravy up at home, cut the top off a plastic milk bottle, put a sip lock bag in it and pour the gravy in. Freeze the the gravy in the big freezer if you have one weeks ahead of time.
The resulting brick can be used as ice in the cooler. Sledders have a big cooler just out the door. We do this on fishing trips.

Pop open some legrand butter refrigerator bisquits and enjoy.

We make two batches one mild and one HOT AND SPICEY.

The good things you put the gravy on so it doesn't run all over the plate.

Okay, maybe I should have been more specific:
What is "legrand", a brand name? (Since it is not capitalized, it doesn't appear to be a proper noun (i.e. a brand name).
A brand of "butter"?
A brand of "butter" (flavored) "refrigerator biscuits"?
Maybe some kind of regional food product?
Incidentally, a quick Google search yields no food product by that name.
