I recommend chili! Make some at home, fill up a disposable plastic container thing, and freeze it into a solid block-o-chili. Then throw it in your cooler and when you want to cook it all you'll have to do is get it out of the container and into a pan of some sort and heat it up. Chili freezes really well.
There was this guy a few tents away from us in '06 who was grilling kabobs. Totally great idea. You can put both meat and veggies on them, stick them in a tupperware, and bust em out on Thursday or Friday fresh and ready to cook. It's simple and clean, and healthy.

When I get there Thursday I am planning on making a shitload of Fajitas and sharing. In Texas we get the Mexican supermarkets, and their Fajita meat is awesome. Yummy. Heres the food I listed in my Bonnaroo Supply List. Eggs Bacon Tortillas fajitas Bread Watermelon (Everclear?) Fruit (bananas apples oranges) Hot Dogs Protein Bars Beef Jerky Buns Burgers Condiments Steaks Potatoes Granloa Bars Peanut Butter and Jelly Sugar Salt Pepper Butter (if needed) Cereal Trail Mix Banana Cream Pie Nuts Sandwich Meat and cheese Snacks (cookies, chips, dips…
Based on past experience, breakfast is the most important meal. (Mimosas are important component of said meal.)
Eat hearty early in the day, because later you won't want to take the time.
Oranges from the cooler are really refreshing. Nuts make a good snack. Think about picnic type foods that are easy to prepare. It gets so hot you tend to lose your motivation.
Don't bring anything that tends to melt or get manky in the heat.
(I'll be in VIP, but cooking breakfast, as the food there does not start until noon.)

Lol, this is funny. Our idea of a hearty meal in the past has been a gyro. My friend's actual words: "look, you got the lettuce and the onions and tomatoes...and then the bread, and this meat...what's this meat, man?"
"Gyro meat, I think. I'm pretty sure it's lamb."
"Yeah. Yeah, so you got the meat, too...I mean, seven bucks, it's really a pretty nice deal, man. Perfect breakfast."
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

in the morning I usually eat some fruit, it is so cold and delish! yummy! I'll eat a sandwich for lunch and carry trailmix, granola bars, and other snacks to centeroo, and if I get hungry for dinner I get something there.
I don't really seem to eat a whole lot at roo. Extreme heat = loss of apetite
We're planning on bringing a little grill so we can make hamburgers/hot dogs/quesadillas/grilled cheese/etc. We didn't bring enough food last year. Though I was never really hungry for hardcore food in the morning... just wanted a granola bar and some fruit. Later on, all the walking made me work up an appetite!
We decided last minute to not bring a grill which switched up our food options.
Stuff we brought and loved: Oranges brownies Doritos granola bars Gummy fruits (those kiddie snacks) I believe we made decent use of bread, cheese, lunchmeat and PB&J
Stuff we brought that sucked: Chips & Salsa Fruit cups crackers fruit salad (got mushy and gross)
We weren't really at our tent during the day, so we only ate in the morning and late afternoon. By late afternoon none of us were in the mood for big meals; I agree breakfast is the best meal to concentrate on food-wise.
This year we think we'll actually be better off buying most of our food at Bonnaroo - we went crazy at a Wal-Mart in Bristol and ended up not eating a lot of it. Probably spent as much there as we could have on food at the stands. But this year we probably will bring a grill and will ahve a larger crowd with us so you never know...
I do plan on bringing what I read int he previous post - bags with a combo of already cooked rice, beans and salsa. Good hot or cold and hearty for me and the hubby who are vegetarians
Any ideas for a good hardy breakfast straight from the cooler. I won't have a grill. Last year we did poptarts, but they just didn't hit the spot at all.

Man, some people here put way more effort into food than I do! Between the lack of appetite due to heat, the fact that I don't want to have to go back to my tent, and the deliciousness of all the food for sale, I just don't see the point in going crazy and cooking stuff. I'll certainly be bringing snacky foods and maybe a few more substantial things, but I'm really inclined to skip the grill and stuff this year.

oranges, granola bars, and summer sausage (the kind you don't have to cook)
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

If like them bring hard boiled eggs, instant oatmeal or grits (if you can boil water) and precooked sausage patties/bacon strips or keilbasa which is cooked and requires little refrigeration.
what about a bacon and cheese sandwich? Bread, that pre-cooked bacon, cheese. Have a hardboiled egg on the side, or slice it up to put in your sandwich. That with a side of fruit would be great. Maybe some almonds or walnuts or other type of nut to go along with?
I thought about doing a pre-cooked egg/bacon/chs creation and eating it cold. But I'm worried that might get gross in the cooler
Put them in the sun (or on your car dash.) If it's late enough, they will get warm. Or just get english muffins or bagels and warm them and put the precooked sausage, etc on them.
It can be a problem keeping things dry in a cooler. That's why I bring breads separate and keep them in the shade.
You can go to REI (Campmor.com also has them) and get an Esbit stove to cook eggs and boil water. It will fit in your pocket and heat a small pan. I have about a dozen of these I use to make coffee with when I only made a few cups. you could scramble eggs (if you can keep them from breaking) and heat sausage.
