Other easy camping food?

Posted: March 19th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Recipes | Tags: , , , , , , , | 5 Comments »

I am going camping soon, and wondering, what other food besides hot dogs and hamburgers can we make? We have a small charcoal grill, but we want easy lunch/dinner ideas. I need them to be easy, because we have a 7 year old coming as well, these can not contain any nuts what so ever! Thanks for all your help!

    - Chili!
    - Any kind of meat, fish, etc. – grill them up on your grill
    - Grilled cheese and tomato soup
    - Tacos
    - Baked potatoes in foil
    - Corn on the cob
    - Hamburger helper Cheesy mac (tastes SOOO good when cooked over a fire – seriously! Only time I will eat the stuff)
    - Kraft mac and cheese with grilled hot dog slices
    - Bacon, eggs and hash browns for breakfast
    - Lunch meat and PB&J for sandwiches

    Basically, you can really make anything that you would at home on a stove as long as you have a few pots and pans with you. Make sure that you keep everything in a good cooler, and try not to open it very often so the cold stays in.

    In fact, pack any snacks for the 7 year old (carrot and celery sticks, jelly for PB&J) in a separate cooler with your drinks so you wont have to worry about any meat or dairy products going bad with the constant closing and openings.

    Good luck and have fun!

    what ever you can cook on a pan because you can heat a pan on a grill, careful cus it may get to hot

    but just on a grill
    chicken
    almost any meat
    eggs in the shell
    be creative

    Hot dogs, sandwich stuff, chips, hamburgers, pop tarts, eggs. You can bring whatever as long as you have the proper ice chest and enough ice to keep it cool. I went camping 3 nights, we had hamburgers, hot dogs and carne asada. Breakfast, pop tarts, cereal, scrambled eggs, lunches sandwiches and chips. Sandwich stuff will not go soggy, you can keep the bread in a bag because it does not need refrigeration. Milk will not go bad, that is what an ice chest is for. Nothing will go bad as long as you have Ice, period. You can bring ANYTHING you want as long as you have Ice.
