So next Wednesday, my wife is going out of town until the following Monday for a friends wedding
My 3 boys and I decided to go Camping/fishing, leaving Thursday morning sometime & come home Monday afternoon, (as long as 1 of the boys can talk his wife into letting him free for an extended weekend, if not will only be 3 of us)
So 4 nights, 4 guys, and not a 1 of us wants to really cook :P, just want to camp/fish/drink beer and smoke cigars >:D
Remove the fish as a meal as none of us are very experienced fishermen, and if we catch some GREAT, but otherwise cant count on it (if we do catch some it'll go in the fire pit in foil with lemon, butter & garlic salt-easy & tasty)
Breakfast will be coffee/tea and sweet-rolls/honey buns (or something like those from a wrapper)
lunch will be bologna/ham sandwiches with chips, and some type of (store bought potato/macaroni) salad
Now for dinner the only thing we can think of that's really easy for 4 guys that (Don't cook nor want to learn how) is basic hot dogs or hamburgers (meat and bun with condiments only), and some type of beans (chilli in a can/pork & beans in a can/baked beans in a can lol)
Anyone have advice on something other then those that is easy & quick for camping dinners ?
Thanks for any/all advice

Might be more than you want to look through, but at least check out the "staff picks".
http://allrecipes.com/recipes/everyday-cooking/on-the-go/camping/
Veggies & meat skewers are always good and easy prep + clean up ...
Steaks, Chicken (whole or pieces), Pork (loin or chops).
Foil wrapped potatoes on the grill/fire pit...
(Pre-made) pasta salad ...
Corn on the cob ...
Squash ...
Also that potato in foil in the fire pit idea is Brilliant !! do fish and corn like that but never thought about potatoes
Don't really want to do steak and chicken because we eat way more of that then most people should weekly and wanted "camping" style food for the trip and not what we normally eat, and ever since my gallbladder was remover a few years ago I cant do much pork
Then decided to do a camping trip now that I am finally fairly able to get around good enough to camp & fish again and get into & out of the canoe again
Or go to fresh and easy or whole foods and get a bunch of premade stuff..... four guys and not a single one of you wants to cook steak or ham or even burgers..... on a camping trip? Suppose you could take along someone who actually has a man card...
I kid I kid
anything involving more is why I have a wife :P
I kid also, when going with the wife I help with it all
Cant say I've had any of those, might have to get a few of those just for the sake of wanting to try it out
Another Great idea, love the idea of anything that involves throwing it into the fire pit to cook while drinking beer
Thanks for the info guys
Really do appreciate all the advice guys, have never went camping without my wife-she is even a little upset she's going to a wedding and not with us lol (dad didn't believe in doing anything that didn't make money - so didn't camp till I was 22 and married lol) and my wife has to pack half the truck with food items, the boys and I just want a simple beer drinking cigar smoking canoe fishing weekend, and the advice so far it spot on THANKS!!
This is what I was going to suggest. We called them hobo meals. Very good and very easy.
