Good food suggestions for an overnight pack trip
I don't want to spend a bunch of money on dehydrated or freeze-dried stuff, and I'm tired of instant oatmeal and instant potato packets. So, what I'm looking for are some good ideas for meals for an overnight trip. I want to eat good without getting spendy or having to carry the whole kitchen on my back.

It sounds like you want your cake and eat it too!
On a serious note, I always used Mountain Houses. If you don't want to spend the money you could freeze your own foods. What we do on rafting trips now is cook eggs/sausage for example at home. Then seal pack it in a bag and freeze it. Then when the time comes to eat, just throw the bag into boiling water and you have a fresh breakfast.
If you are carrying it in a backpack, you could get ice packs to keep the food frozen.
If you don't want dehydrated foods, get ready to carry a lot more weight (ice). Another option of course are the cans. That was the choice for backpackers before the commercial MREs/dehydrated packs came out.

Beef Jerky, Cliff bars, Crackers, a chunk of cheese and a beef stick. I can live on this for 4-5 days with no problems and you don't need to carry a stove :)
oh yes and some trail mix of some sortTacoma Said - If Scott he asks you to go on a hike, ask careful questions like "Is it going to be on a trail?" "What are the chances it will kill me?" etc. Maybe "Will there be sack-biting ants along the way?"

Just for an overnight, it wouldn't be hard. Leave the stove at home, take crackers, cheese and hard salami for dinner, and a bananna and bagel for breakfast.
Dont forget trail mix.Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives and water and good bread

I've watched friends buy a burrito at the local eatery and eatbitb the next day on Saturday hiking trip without any refrigeration. Not sure how safe it is but they have always been fine.

For an overnight, this idea has always appealed to me but I've never tried it.

What I normally do is I have a mini stove (it's portable and light) if you have that then you can copy what I do. I first add uncooked rice in boiling water while adding some bacon / spam, add some soy sauce , little bit of lemon , pepper and salt. You now have a hot soup..instead of eating oatmeal but If don't want to cook my go to is just crackers and instant soup/ramen (just add some water)

I love to have a burger and waffles for an overnight in Hashtag Burgers & Waffles in Fortitude Valley. They offer a massive variety of types of burgers, including the best chicken burger Brisbane, beef burgers, vegetarian burger, sides and desserts!
