50 people camp food ideas

[Anonymous]

Don’t do this. If there are 50 people at this campsite, then there needs to be a designated, trained cook that is handling all the meals and food prep, or each family feeds themselves. As a random camper, you should not be attempting to cook something for the entire camp

Or maybe in teams. Like divvy up meals.

These are catering #s

Chicken Tacos for lunch or dinner. Have large ziplocks prepped with marinade. Have the chicken pre-trimmed and ready to add to marinade. Have cans of seasoned black beans, corn, bags of lettuce, jars of pickled jalapeno, etc.

Some of these recipes sound like a good way to give everyone food poisoning from improperly stored raw meats and other foods.

Burgers, hot dogs, maybe some grilled chicken. Have some toppings. Then sides. You can grill corn, or but baked beans in a can right on the grill.

Side of potato salad.

S’mores for desert.

I used to be in charge of cooking for our cub scout campouts, often had a similar number of people. Some of our biggest hits were:

Dinner:
Dutch oven full of sloppy joe filling, bags of hamburger buns. Add salad or coleslaw on the side.
Skewered strips of chicken thighs cooked over a charcoal grill, giant pot of corn (ears cut into thirds)
Walking tacos - make the filling ahead of time and reheat in a dutch oven over charcoal

Lunch -
Hot dogs
Sandwiches

Breakfast -
Bagels & cream cheese
Dutch oven fritatta with eggs, diced ham, veggies (onion / bell pepper / mushrooms), cheese. Mix in some frozen hash browns to bulk it up further.
Oatmeal bake with apples and cinnamon & sugar

Have you never been camping? There are ways to store, handle and prepare food properly in the outdoors.

Or, pick lunch and do hot dogs + chips and raw veggies.

If you get stuck with dinner, tacos are a solid option.

If I was camping with you and you basically had no protein for breakfast, I would be unhappy.

And what do the people's races have to do with what to eat on a camping trip?

True. But the larger the quantity of food you are transporting to the woods, needing to keep cold, cooking, needing to keep hot and storing- the more difficult it becomes to be safe

And? Do you trust someone to make you chicken tacos on day 3?

Meh, somebody's always unhappy. If you want something other than (or in addition to) the posted menu, you are free to make it.

You could make burritos. Preassembled (cooked ingredients) wrap in foil heat on site

Could do a variety of bean and cheese, beef, chicken. Or go with breakfast burritos.

Sides can be contributed by another group.

I've been camping with over 50 people many times (huge family, little money), in fact, most summers growing up. You buy more ice as needed from the camp store, and no, we've never had anyone get food poisoning from camping. Nearly anything you'd make at home you can make camping. We'd do ribs, steaks, baked potatoes (rub with olive oil and salt, wrap in heavy duty foil and throw in the fire), grilled veggies, etc. Wouldn't do expensive meat for people who were not family though

So you've never catered for 50 which is the whole problem here.

True, but some people provide actual meals and other people are providing English muffins. "If you get stuck" with dinner... you sound like someone who won't be invited back because you are trying to mooch off of your friends and slack on the work.
