Cooking over a camping grill can be challenging compared with the ease of kitchen meals. That's why it's essential to plan your camping meals before hitting the campsite to make sure you're prepared with the right foods. With proper knowledge, camp foods can be easy as well as nutritious for you and your family.
Tube Foods
According to the Camping Life website, tubes of dough from your grocer's refrigerated shelves make excellent camping food ingredients. Bread sticks, pizza dough and crescent rolls are just some of the options. One such camping recipe called Peachy Spinach Spirals starts with one tube of crescent rolls, one can sliced peaches, one package baby spinach, a package of lunchmeat such as ham and some spray-on salad dressing. Make bundles by rolling up peach slices, ham and several spinach leaves into triangle of dough. Cook on campfire or grill until golden brown.
PB & A
According to the American Camp Association, another great camping food idea is Peanut Butter and Apple. The ingredients are simple: apples, peanut butter and raisins. First, core the apple, then combine peanut butter and raisins together and stuff apple with mixture. Other stuffing options include cottage cheese, turkey or other fruits. Top off snack with crushed nuts or honey.
Pizza
Pizza is a simple alternative for camping meals, especially when feeding larger groups. Ingredients include English muffins, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and pizza fixings of your choice. Open muffins and cover each side with sauce, cheese and fixings. Then, wrap each muffin in foil and cook over coals for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Knobstone Trail Soup
Soup is a traditional way to feed hungry campers. For ingredients, use a can of beef or chicken, parsley flakes, dried carrots, dried celery, dried onions and dried tomato slices. Boil water over coals or camp grill and add ingredients, Simmer until vegetables are tender. Rice or macaroni are also options to add to soup.
