Tell me your favorite food to cook while camping...
Preferably can be prepped in advance and transported to be cooked over a wood fire.

But the foil packet I learned and love has a ground beef patty in the center, sandwiched by sliced root vegetables (potato and carrot, or your choice).
You could also make it with thin steaks or lamb chops or other single-portion meats.
To make it last longer safely uncooked (while you go to camping site): prepare, freeze, transport, cook.
For car camping with cooler available we always did tacos. Prep ahead and bring main filling, already cooked will make life easier (taco meat, chicken strips, lentils and walnuts, whatever), then reheat in a pot on the fire. Wrap tortillas well in foil and heat on edge of fire. Canned vegetarian refried beans (rosarita brand) are easy to heat on the fire edge too with the top off. Bring an avocado, salsa, and some limes.
Another easy one was any pasta dish, we would add chickpeas, chopped olives, olive oil, parm, and soft salad greens that would wilt.
It gets more difficult if you are backpacking in. If that is the case, I recommend dehydrated meals - either a ready made packet or mix your own with dehydrated veggies, meat and broth powder.
