Default Good "premade" recipes for a camping trip?

If you use...gulp, instant rice , this recipe can be ready in half the
time and not use up all your camp stove fuel.I used to make something
similiar for back packing, but also added dehyderated pepper flakes and
home dehyderated cooked ground beef. It was a real winner after a long
day on the trail. I'm still looking for my old camping recipes. Will
post when I find them.
