Meals That Reheat Well

Its deer hunting season here in MN and every weekend my DH goes up north hunting with a group of 3. There is no electricity or running water in the cabin, but there is a propane burner stove and a wood burning stove. I need some good recipes that are easy and quick to make and that reheat well. The past 2 weekends I have made a big pot of chili and the boys eat it for lunch all 3 days they are up north. My DH said that they are sick of chili and want something new. I have tried goulash before and it reheats horribly. So basically I need a good filling recipe that can fit in one pot and reheat easy. Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

Does he bring home any meat? You can make stew.
Meat, carrots, potatoes, onions....
Potato soup, split pea soup, lentil soup, minnestrone soup....
Spaghetti reheats well if they add a little water to the pan so it doesn't stick.
My brother in law hunts and they rough it, to be sure, but they cook all their own stuff. They take eggs, bread, stuff to make sandwiches...
Oh....they bake potatoes ahead of time and take them to slice up and fry.
He has it down. I'll have to ask him. I know he takes fish from the freezer and things like that. They don't even stay in a cabin.
They're crazy if you ask me, but my sister doesn't cook for them. And they're in the middle of nowhere so they can't get anything they don't take.
I hope you get some great suggestions.

Spaghetti tossed in the sauce reheats well but use Angel hair pasta instead. Goulash is great depending on the noodle, anything too thick turns to mush, try a small elbow noodle. I do mine simple message me if you care for the recipe. Chicken soup with some veggies or anything with a broth really heats up well. Pizza boats would be easy for them to put together and toast up on the wood burning stove. Do the others wives help?

IF you do goulash, then make sure the noodles are just slightly soft. Don't cook them as long the first time.
