Last week, I prepared/froze several items in advance: I seasoned a pork roast in a crock pot liner & froze it (in a freezer bag.) By day 2 of camping, it had thawed & I put it in the crock pot to cook for the day (& since it was in a liner=no mess!) I also made ahead & froze Mac and cheese & rice (separate cooler though-don't store this w/ raw meats!). Those turned out well too. I recommend using a slow cooker to cook/reheat & freezing items in the liners. We tent camped & it worked great! Crockpot liners & freezer bags are the way to go-easy to pack & clean! Hope that helps!
Any experience pre making meals at home freezing them n then thawing them at camp?
Have done this a few times when camping in the mountains (I 'don't' cook at Disney ) I also do this at home lots of times
The main thing is having a freezer large enough to accommodate all your frozen items. Otherwise, it sounds like a great plan if you eat at the campsite. One dish meals like lasagne (if you have an oven) would make easy serving and cleanup (disposable plates, utensils, cups, etc.) and you only have one dish to wash - or none if you bake in disposable foil pans.
I always thought my mother was an idiot but she did have good camping ideas.
Get a hamburger patty maker, the kind they sell at Tupperware parties. Make the hamburgers and then stack them up with pieces of waxed paper between them. Stick them into a Folgers coffee can (the tin ones, it's just not the same with the plastic containers). Put the lid back on and freeze them.
When it's time to leave, pop them in the cooler and off you go. They don't get squished out of shape as they thaw and the container can be washed again and used for leftovers once you have used up all the burgers.
