I do 90% of my camping with my kids' Scout Troop so cast iron dutch oven meals are always high on my list. There are so many choices and some great flavorful options. We do a good chicken pot pie in a dutch oven with american biscuits (like the beef stew mentioned previously). And, of course, any sort of fruit cobbler in a dutch oven will always be a winner.
Foil packs are really great because kids (and adults) can do a choose-your-own-adventure. Want lots of veggies, you got it. Want zero veggies, you got it as well. As long as you have moisture and heat, you can get a tasty meal.
