Car camp cooking tip: Boiling food in a bag

One of my favorite car camping tricks is to pre-cook food and freeze the food in a freezer bag. When it comes time to make food, just boil it until it's cooked. I've done this with steak, roasts, omelets, scrambled eggs, gravy, beans, green beans, etc. Leftovers are often perfect.

If the bags are cold enough, this will help keep the ice in your ice chest longer. If you boil in the bag, you can minimize clean-up. If you do that, get the actual boiling bags, not cheap zip-locks.
