What Is Your Favorite Easy Camping Meal Recipe?

'Breakfast in a Bag'

Using ziploc bags, add beaten eggs, milk, spices, cheese, cooked hashbrowns, even onions and cooked bacon to the bag (same ingredients you would put in an omelet).

Place ziploc bags into pot of boiling water.

When eggs are cooked, remove from bags and enjoy!

Foil dinners are easy and you can customize them to your tastes. Here is what we like on ours:
Sliced potatoes
Sliced sweet potatoes
onions
garlic cloves
green peppers
anaheim peppers
corn
carrots
herbs (rosemary, basil, orageno, cilantro are all good. Fresh or dried)
bacon (or chicken, ground beef, steak pieces, sausage)
salt and pepper

put the fixings on individual foil rectangles, secure the ends so it is all enclosed and place on campfire coals for about an hour.

There are 2 things we always make when we go camping. First, stuffed cabbage: Buy a cabbage, cut out the middle, stuff it with carrots, celery, and lamb, salt, pepper, and butter. Wrap in foil, toss in the fire, and feast in 45 minutes. Second, winter squash. Buy a winter squash, cut it in half and dig out the middle, fill it with butter and brown sugar. Put the halves back together, wrap in foil, toss in the fire, and feast in 45 minutes. YUM.

Chicken in tinfoil. Take raw chicken (cut up) and mix with diced potatoes, celery, cream of mushroom soup (or any cream of soup), stove top stuffing(precooked), and if you want smoked sausage or any other thing you think would go (greenbean, corn, ect). put 1-2 servings each in tinfoil and wrap closed. When it is time just throw the tinfoil pouches on the coals in the fire and let it cook.

Stopping at KFC before we leave, we have dinner(or lunch) for that day, then putting in the ice chest and have one more meal out of it.

We always make Tin Foil Casserole. It is very easy.
Ingredients
Hamburger/Turkey patties
Cabbage Leaves
Potatoes
Carrotts
Onions
Salt
Pepper
Butter
On a sheet of foil place one cabbage leaf so that it looks like a bowl, place meat patty on cabbage leaf, add chopped carrott, potatoe,onion, salt, pepper and about 1 tbs butter. Cover with second cabbage leaf and wrap foil to make a pouch. Place pouch in hot coals on the pit and check to make sure the meat is cooked all the way. We even do this at home and it is always a hit.

The eggs in the bag really works and they are AWESOME!!!

We also make chili before hand and then freeze in a gallon bag. Then use it as an ice pack for other food and by the time we are ready to eat it has thawed for the most part. Put it in the pan over the fire and voila! Chili while camping. MMMMM.. .can't wait till camping starts up!

Also Jack Daniels sells a marinade in a bag. We will put chicken in it and freeze as well. That way, the same as the chili, it stays nice and cold until we are ready to cook. Plus the marinade stays in the bag and easily disposable.

bicuits and gravy is always a favorite on a camping morning. Sitting outside with a warm plate of biscuits with sausage gravy. MMMMMM

I always make taco salad when we go camping....

We love to do tinfoil packets. Our favorite is fish with lemon, garlic, and different vegetables. Once when I was camping on the coast a friend dove down and brought up all these oysters. We just put the whole oyster shells on rocks over the fire and when they were cooked enough they steamed open. They were slightly salty from the ocean water and were the most delicious things I have EVER eaten. We will cook hotdogs, macncheese, or spaghetti (not too exciting though). I'm excited to read what other people have written!

we like sausage and eggs for breeakfast, sandwhiches, trail mix, and granola bars for lunch. freshly caught fish for dinner :) burgers as a backup if they aren't biting. I like Dutch Oven good ole fashioned chuckwagon cooking. Biscuits, A pot of beans, hot dogs on the end of a stick, and smores if the kids are with us. If it's just the 2 of us, i like to do skewers of shrimp along with fish in foil packets and a bottle of wine.

My favorite? I use the leftover friend potatoes from the meal the night before, put them in eggs with some onions and scramble the whole mess...YUM!

Some of my favorites:

Hobo meals, HB patty on the bottom, potatoes, carrots, onions, some seasonings, whatever tastes good to you, place in a piece of heavy duty foil and make sure it is well sealed then plop it in the fire. It will get done and be manna from heaven.

Orange/lemon thingies:
Take an orange, cut it in equal halves, scoop out the good parts, eat them up, fill one half piece with lemon poppy seed muffin mix, put the other, empty of course, half back against the other filled half, wrap in foil tightly, plop in fire for about the amount of time on the poppy seed instructions, pull out, open carefully, eat the muffin and it's very, very, very good. I use the ones from Walmart that require only water to be added. Maybe Martha White? or maybe even a Walmart brand.

Only issue: The temperature of your fire may be hotter or cooler than mine, so cooking time might vary. Check on them if needed as you learn how it works for you and your normal fire building techniques. I build lousy fires, you are probably much better than me and might have a much hotter fire so things could burn up or still be raw.

I wish our ward would do a lot of dutch oven classes so I could learn, and become proficient, at using that method of cooking. I'd love to make cobbler or biscuits and gravy that way.

We also cooked stuff like spaghetti and other regular meals and kept them cold in water proof containers in an ice chest. That worked very well for short overnight trips where they were not kept out for days. We would just dump the contents of the bag/bowl into the huge skillet and heat it up. It was different for the kids and they really enjoyed it.

The only issue was that one time the kids knocked the ice chest off the picnic table and all the food went into the watery ice. That is when we learned to use waterproof containers. After we drained all the water off we still ate the food, it was just a bit more liquidy...LOL. The water proof containers can actually go"IN" the ice too instead of sitting "ON" it. This way the fresh fruit and other "Dry" stuff that needs to be out of the heat has surfaces to sit on and they don't get that yucky mush texture they can sometimes get that's kind of like freezer burn.
