What are some easy camping recipes?
Posted in Camping Recipes by admin on December 15th, 2008
A friend and I are camping this weekend and looking for some easy stuff to bring. We can make some things in advance and other stuff on the coleman stove. Any good suggestions?
A big stake with salt and peper. simple tastes good and easy to cook.
Do not over take stuff it is frustrating after a while.

You can cook most any thing inside of an Aluminum Foil packet. Just trow in some meat and vegetables wrap the foil up like you would a burrito and cook about 5 – 10 minutes per side. The really is no correct way of doing this, just use your imagination. Here's some tips that I've learned over the years:
1. If you are going to use potatoes precook them prior to going camping. They take the longest to cook and will still be hard once everything else is done.
2. Use the foil packet as a plate. Easy cleanup and one less thing to pack.
3. Spay a cooking spay on the foil before you but the food in. It will prevent the food from sticking.
4. Mrs Dash spice will make any type of food taste good.
5. Use a pair of tongs or a camp shovel to remove the foil packet off of the hot coals.
6. Make sure you have a camp shovel around to arrange your coals for cooking.

Take nice large naval oranges, some biscuit dough, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the top of the orange and get all the pulp of the orange out, maybe have it for breakfast or something. Then take the biscuit dough and add the brown sugar and cinnamon and a little butter and place it inside the orange, put the top back on wrap with foil and put on your fire in the coals, maybe 25-35 minutes depending on your fire(heat) make several and save an extra for checking when they are done. Kids love them and it is pretty neat.

As Rob said, Foil Wrapped dinners are an excellent way to go. The key there is pre-cooking what you can especially potatoes, carrots and the like. Prepare all the dinners in advance and all you need to do is cook them then. Use a non-stick spray on the inside of the heavy duty tinfoil to prevent the food from sticking. If you do cook the potatoes or anything else, make sure you allow them to cool before adding them with cold foods inside the tinfoil package. Keep it simple, marinated chicken or beef with a few veggies works great. Fish in tinfoil with a little s&p and lemon is excellent.
Additionally, I like things that are easy to clean up. Although chili and mac&cheese sound good on the road, they are terrible things to cleanup, especially with cold water. So be careful when choosing.
Hamburgers and hot dogs are simple to cook, easy to cleanup. Keeping the meats cold will be your only issue if anything. Instead of plain hotdogs try using Italian sausage, Polish sausage, or Kielbasa. Pre-form and season your hamburgers, freeze them so that they keep their shape.
Another simple recipe is what I call Taco (or chili) Crunch. Top a bowl of Doritos or corn chips with a healthy side of taco meat or chili. Pre-package all the fixings like cheese, onion, lettuce, tomatos, etc. Easy cleanup when prepared in advance.
For breakfast, instead of whole eggs, I use real eggs in a carton. Usey to pour, less cleanup, no egg shells all over the place. Pre-cooked bacon makes less grease and cooks faster. Pancakes of course – that's just tradition!
For lunch or sandwiches, bring a variety of italian lunchmeats, cheeses, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini, etc and condiments. Think Subway – lay it all out on the table and have everyone make their own. Additionally for lunch, pre-make chicken- or tuna-salad and bring along a loaf of bread.
Bottom line, prepare as much as you can in advance so that cooking and cleanup is a breeze. You can then have more time for enjoying the outdoors instead of scrubbing the bottom of a burnt pot.
Have fun!

When i was a GS we used to cook pre cut chicken cubes and then cook rice in another pan then put ketchup in the rice and then put chicken, then i suppose u could add spices and mix it all up and eat. 1 bowl meal.
By the way you can precook the chicken and keep it COLD. And it will only use one pot.

A favorite of my friends is “Corny Beef”.
Take hamburger meat, either precooked or raw depending on how long it will be until you’re ready to cook it. Take an ear of corn or some canned or frozen corn. Take an onion. Take a small amount of your favorite sauce. (We like “Tiger Sauce.”) You’ll cut the corn from the ear or use frozen/canned corn, and dice the onion. Do the preparation with a pocket knife for a true outdoor approach.
If you have a mess kit or cook pot, you can prepare it in there. If not, make foil packets for each person. Put the ingredients in the foil, place it in the fire (not the hottest part of the fire, but good hot coals) to cook, and remove to eat directly from the foil when ready. You can try lots of variations so each person can have it the way they prefer.
If you use foil packets, it’s a good idea to double them so they don’t tear. If you want to cook on your Coleman stove, use a pot that’s a bit oversized so you don’t spill when stirring. Since any type of camp heat is harder to control than a cooktop at home, plan to either precook any meat or go for overcooked rather than undercooked so you don’t have a threat of food poisoning.
Breakfast on a Coleman stove it WONDERFUL. Make bacon, eggs, potatoes. The aroma will carry, and you’ll be the envy of the campground.
