Fiejta's--Oh yeah. I prep the meat in strips in fiejta marinate the night before I leave and put it into the freezer. Put the meat in a baggy. I'll then bring the cheese and onion & pepper in and cut that up right before i'm ready to cook that night. once you have the meat sauteed put in the onion & pepper. once everthing is cook i'll put a flower tortia shell right over the pan to steam it, once it is soft, i'll put cheese on it and a little of the contents of the pan. Roll it up and put another shell over the pan for steaming as I eat the first one.

For me it has to be steak. 8oz. boneless ribeyes with mashed potatoes and peas. Yum!

Boneless steaks (rib eye or something similar), garlic mashed potatoes, Dole Complete Salad (usually Caesar), merlot wine.

MmMmMMM....Dole Complete Salad (usually Caesar). great idea! thanks.

Steak and baked potatoes. Eat the heavy perishable stuff first. It's great after a rough day.

Surf and turf! Usually a ribeye and shrimp, but we have done lobster also. With fresh asparagus from my patch.

Tenderloin (with Rupena's secret salt) and butter noodles. Wash it down with vodka and crystal lite.

Deer meat. Preferably backstraps.

We are all about the Ribeyes or Sirloin Steak, instant mashed potatoes & frozen corn. Nothing like a steak over an open fire after a long day of travel! I like the Dole Complete salad idea too! Never ever thought of that for a first night!

My plate looks the same as Mr.Barleys. Throw in a huge Portobella mushroom.

That plate looks too good to be true. Ok, how do you do the lobster tail? Do you freeze it before the trip then boil it? Hate to say, but I've never cooked lobster before. :(

Brats! potato, and cheesecake

Steaks and either baby reds, garlic mashed, or grilling beans.

I'll second the venison back strap. We brought a full tenderloin in last year. You wouldn't think 2 guys could kill a full tenderloin but we did with no issues. If one of my north woods buds kills a moose I always hit them up for some steaks prior to the trip.

Steak & Bakers. Top it off with a good bourbon.

Tom T,

What you do is buy a whole lobster tail, split it in half and pull the meat away from the shell. This eliminates the meat sticking to the inside on the shell when cooked. Then wrap in foil and freeze it. I don't think I need to tell you to put it in a ziplock or 2 so it doesn't leak juice out in transport. By the time you're to your campsite it should be thawed out. Then you just put it on your firegrate with your steak (still in the foil of coarse). Heavenly.

steak, taters, corn chased with a nice 12 yr scotch this combo could make a commercial.

Thanks Mr. B. Lemme get this straight cause I'm gonna do this.

I loosen the meat from the shell but leave it sit back in the shell?

Tom T,

Yup, pull the meat away from the shell to prevent it from sticking to the inside of the shell when cooked. Also, cook it shell side to the heat. You can also smear the inside of the shell with butter before replacing the meat and then freeze it. Be careful when you take the foil off. Hot butter care be very painful.

Ooooh ya, butter. Mmmm.

Thanks for all the info. Gonna have lobster in the BW!

Butter is a vegetable! So is bacon!

Steak and potatoes and onions. Truth is, I am usually so glad to be there on the first night out that I am sure I would be content with anything!

I've never done the lobster tail in the BWCA, but MrBarley's picture does it for me! (with real butter, of course!) :)

This year I want to try foiling up some ring bologna cooked in lots of kraut and foiled fire baked potatoes:)

First night supper has to be steak, and a mixture of potatoes carrots and onions in a foil pouch.

Finally....someone besides our group who does kraut in the BW.

We always plan on new york strips or ribeyes. We always end up eating fish. The Fiejta's sound good though.

Kielbasa and kraut sounds like it could be a plan. With mustard of course.

This year we tried something new and brought in a Caesar Salad kit and grilled some chicken to go with it. That was a hit.

brats/hamburgers with baked/boiled/fried potatoes.
