That go-to meal

[bikemig]

When I can get to a grocery store, to buy lunch & snacks, I also buy for dinner (this was one of my meals last tour):

Filet Mignon; grilled on an open fire with a cracked pepper crust (the butcher cut thickness, 1 1/2"         
                     as requested, 12oz).  Covered with...
Sauteed Mushrooms & Caramelized Onion in a Wine Sauce:

                   . . .  Who wants to come with me next time?

Cheers, SprocketWeasel

     

I'm thinking I'm ready to ride a trail with SprocketWeasel pretty much any day.

Serve that on a long piece of bread and I say that sub is good to go. Would you like a drink and a bag of chips to go with that?

For those confined to a One Pot meal.  Here's a great way to change things up.

Hot Spiced Shrimp with Red Potatoes & Pearl Onions
  Served with a side of your favorite Veggies:

1/2 Pot of Water
1    LB. Frozen Shrimp, uncooked, shell-on; 15-20/LB. preferable size
4    Red Potatoes, quartered or 3/4" cubed
8 to 12   Pearl Onions
1/4 Bag  Shrimp Boil Spices
              Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

Side Dish:
1 Bag Frozen Veggies; of your choosing.

Depending on the size of your cooking pot; you can divide into serving portions, to cook, accordingly.
Bring Water to a boil and add Shrimp Boil Spices,Potatoes and Onions until tender (about 5 min.).
Add Shrimp cook until pink (3 to 5 min.)
Repeat with remaining portions.

Cook Veggies: 
Fill Pot with 1 inch of water (this amount will steam them) bring to boil.  Add veggies, season to taste. I like CAVENDER'S  All Purpose Greek Seasoning. Add Butter (picked up from Breakfast).

Again, I travel with a, soft sided, cooler (six pack size) in my handlebar bag. 
The Frozen Veggies assure Shrimp, bought ideally around lunch time or later, won't spoil before reaching camp.

Okay, the Filet Mignon and Hot spiced shrimp may not fit the "Go to Meal" criteria (for some).  These assume you pass a store that day.  But, you gotta admit you tour becomes a lot more fun!

I do carry, what I consider an "emergency Meal" at all times (hopefully never used), not having stopped at a grocery store, for whatever reason...

Emergency Meal (or "Go To Meal"):

1 Pkg. Ramen Noodles (skip the Bouillon) or Minute Rice
1 Can  Chicken Breast, with broth
1 Pkg.  McCormick Creamy Garlic Alfredo Sauce Mix
(add anything from extra snacks; i.e., Raw Almonds, Granola, Instant Oatmeal...)
 
Add Ingredients to Boiling Water (plus Half&Half creamers, however many you can get away with, from Breakfast)
Stir until creamy, less than 5 min.; less than 5 bucks.
