Does anyone have any ideas for a first night dinner made up of food that needs to be cooked that night? Thanks, going in ep16 on the 24th of June. Can't wait, almost here!

+1 add a vegetable, a coal baked potato and don't forget dessert.

When we started out in 1971 Spartan1 said that the first-night dinner was always supposed to be "steak and oranges". So that was always what we did. Some years we went in to Zup's and had them individually wrap some steaks for us the day before and put them in the freezer, or would buy individually wrapped steaks somewhere and freeze them if possible. Wrap in newspaper and then put in a Zip-lock bag (we don't take a cooler) and they were fine on the first night. Some nice, big navel oranges, too. And that was usually it for the first night.
When Spartan1 was on the kidney diet we couldn't do that, as he could only have 3 ounces of meat, and no citrus fruits at all. So for 16 years we had to do something very different. After the transplant we went back to it for a couple years, but somehow it just didn't seem like as much fun as originally, and we don't always do it anymore.

This year we had nice steak on the grate, frozen corn in the bag with butter, instant spuds. Easy and so good.

This year it was ribeye steak, babybel gouda cheese, bacon and sautéed morel mushrooms that I found on my trip last year (I dehydrated them after I found them).

Jaysus, Boji. That's a meal worthy of the bayou.

But do you then have to carry in a pot big enough for all that?

when your setting up camp after a long days paddle (venison)sausage and cheese is simple and good, cut a chunk off as you walk by :) as far as a meals goes it all depends how heavy you pack. either noodles or whatever potatos you like for a side dish and if no fish ??? pork chops-steak-burgers(in a basket grill)bought in flat bread last trip worked out very good. or sandwich steaks between flat bread....

This is a first night dinner thread...within a thread. So many ideas.
We do seasoned steaks, frozen. Sautéed peppers & onions, frozen. Loaded mashed potatoes from Idahoan. Yummo.

I like to roast corn on the cob if not too many portages. Soak in water all day - dump and refill at portages if any. With some steak or other fresh meat and some butter - hard to beat in the wilderness.
