A few years ago we bought one of those grilled cheese maker thingys that you can use over a campfire (we got ours at Dick's Sporting Goods but I think you can get them at Wal-Mart too). We butter the outside of two pieces of bread and then put pizza sauce and anything else you would eat on a pizza (pepperoni, mushroom, whatever you prefer) and mozzarella cheese and cook it. Very easy and everyone really loves it!

Put a hot dog on a stick. Put it over the fire. When the stick burns and the dog falls in the fire get another hot dog. Put it on a thicker stick. Roast til just slightly blackened all around. If it's too burnt, start again at step 3.
Slice pepperoni into thin slices and put on a stick. Roast it over the fire. Have Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese chunks ready. When the pepperoni is crispy add it to the cheese and crackers.
Poke a few holes in a tater. Wrap it in foil and toss it into the fire (near the edge) Remove in approximately 20-25 minutes, let it sit for a few minutes, then unwrap and feast.
Cut wedges of potato. Chop some fresh green onions. Combine the taters and onion, sprinkle with salt, cayenne, and some Parmesan cheese. Place in foil with a few chunks of butter and stick on the back of the grill, or around the edges of the campfire for a half hour or so.

I like the way I learned to do it in Girl Scouts.
Here's a link below on tips for planning meals. Scroll down for one-pot meals and stick meals:
http://www.girlscoutsmilehi.org/content/documents/MealRecipes1.pdf
One of my favorite camping meals is biscuits in the shape of donut holes. I like to deep fat fry them and then dump them in a clean brown grocery sack that has sugar and cinnamon and shake.

I used to boil several potatoes in their skins and take them along- you can dice them for fried potatoes, warm them for "baked" potatoes, or make potato salad with them.
I also always made a pot of sloppy joes for the first night. I'd put them on to warm while we set up camp, and by the time we were done, so were the "joes".
Foil packets with cut up carrots, potatoes (or some of the boiled ones), and chicken breast/hamburger/porkchop/whatever-kind-of-meat are always good too.
We often brought corn on the cob and soaked it in a bucket of cold water all day, then grilled it with the husks still on too.
Oh, and the idea of the "pizza" things is great too. We also brought canned pie filling with us and made dessert pies that way. Yummy.

I love pizza while camping. I've got a dutch oven recipe around here somewhere.
I also love to do bacon and eggs in a paper bag. If you're interested, I'll try to find the recipe. Might be fun to do with the kids.

I think you can do eggs/omlettes in plastic bags too... the heavy freezer type that you can drop in a pot of boining water to cook them. The kids like that because the can put whatever they want in their own baggies...
Which reminded me that they used to like doing pudding in baggies too- instant pudding and milk and squish away!

These are great! I would have thought that the bag would burn. I am tempted to try that just to see if it really works. We have few recipes too that i will share when I have a bit more time to do so.

If you cook it over coals it won't burn. If there is an actual flame, then it's a problem.

I LOVE spam. Spam sandwiches are just about my favorite sandwich. But boy is it expensive. A 12 oz can here is about $3.00.
I remember when Spam was the poor man's ham.

Here's an interesting looking recipe:
Ingredients
6 large bananas, unpeeled, stems removed
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the grill for high heat.
Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.

ooooh, I miss camping!
One of the things we always made was pot-roast.  You put all the ingredients together, double wrap them in tinfoil, and then bury them in coals to cook. Just your basic pot roast stuff, onions, carrots, potatoes, chopped beef, salt, pepper. :) Yum!
We also had "mountain pies", but you need special tools for those. It's basically two pieces of bread toasted in the fire with any filling you want, from bbq beef to apple pie filling. The holders are these great big tongs with the ends shaped like a slice of bread, and you butter them, put a piece of bread on each side, put the filling on, and then close them and latch them and stick them in the fire.
For cold-weather camping we often had crepes (cooked on a propane stove) rolled up with lemon sugar inside. Yum!

I like to take "hobo packs".... basically meat balls seasoned to your taste, with cut veggies wrapped in foil to toss on the coals to cook. Easy and good. I also have a dutch oven we use to cook breads, cobblers, roasts and briskets, etc. It cooks just like an oven in your house, so you can make what ever you want.

This is our all-time favorite for camping (and for busy days at home):
Taco Soup:
Put all ingredients in a pot and heat through. l lb ground beef can be browned first, if meat is desired - then add the rest of ingredients and heat through.
1 can tomatoes (include liquid)
1 can kidney beans (include liquid)
1 can corn (include liquid)
1 can green beans (include liquid)
1 packet taco seasoning
If conditions allow, this soup is extra good with crushed tortilla/corn chips, sour cream and/or shredded cheese sprinkled on top of individual servings.
