Any Ideas for Camping Food?

Question

My friends and I are taking a 5 day camping trip and dont really want to eat the same thing every day....we've got burgers, dogs, and sandwiches down. Have any other ideas...for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

Answer 1

cereal, pop tarts, oatmeal, chips, pretzels, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, fish, macaroni.

Answer 2

If you have a stove and access to a vehicle (as in not backpacking), then you can bring steak, chops, spaghetti and sauce, stirfry, you name it.  

Answer 3

take a pound of precooked carnitas and have burritos one night and bacon and egg burritos for breakfast is a camping staple for us. We also make wraps lunch meats and hot mustard with spinach and tomatoes or grated cheese and avocado for lunches. I always take tortillas and not bread because bread always (and I mean always) smashes and tears apart or steams up and gets wet, just keep tortillas in the package (resealable) and in the shade. we also take spicy ranch dressing and dip slices of Italian squash and celery (don't forget the peanut butter for celery) also  you can bake potatoes and eat the mega with everything chives chili cheese bacon and sour cream. use the chili on your dogs as well. I am sure you meant brats though right? one thing I can not live without when camping though is root beer and man it just hits the sweet spot to wash down and out all the days stuff without adding any caffeine at night.  and it won't melt like chocolate does.

Answer 5

brown 1/2 lb to 1 lb of ground beef or turkey along with a 1/2 of the package of taco seasonings and add a can of no beans chili. Heat until warm. Each person pours some over tortilla chips and shredded cheese, lettuce, chopped tomatoes and onions, salsa or what ever else you want.

pancakes, french toast

BELT = bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato

taco's, bring chili and make chili cheese dogs

Tuna, Bologna, salami cheese and crackers

Answer 6

Try cooking in foil packs.

Just double up some foil, throw in things you would cook in the oven, make a package out of it and throw it onto some coals in the fire.

Things I like to foil pack:

-Chicken, potatoes and veggies (any you like) drizzle a little olive oil and season to your liking.  Just remember to flip the foil pack every five minutes or so. You can also put the foil pack on the grill.

-You can do all veggies and have it as a side dish

-fish w/ lemon and veggies

-You can also cook your burgers that way with some sliced onion for something a little different.

For breakfast you can make breakfast burritos.  Just cook some eggs, potatoes, sausage, peppers in a skillet and then roll it up in some store bought tortillas.

I think it's bisquick that makes pancake batter in little containers- you just add water and cook them up.  Nice and easy.

Other side dishes that are easy that you might not think of as camping food:  Stove top stuffing is great for camping.  Dump it in a pot and add some boiling water.  Cous cous is just as easy and you can flavor it a million different ways.

Good luck and happy camping!

Here's an old favorite, Hunter's Stew.  Link below is to KOA's "Camping Recipes" page with the description I copied below.  Quite a few other ideas there as well.

Hunter's Stew

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound(s) hamburger

1 medium minced onion

2 cans vegetable soup

2 cans beef bouillon

2 diced carrots

1 stalk sliced celery

4 diced medium potatoes

2 packages of Lipton's noodle soup

2 c water

Directions

In a large pot, over open fire, brown hamburger, add vegetables, and saute for about 6 minutes. Add soup, bouillon and Lipton soup. Bring to boil and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until veggies are tender. Add water as needed to achieve the taste and consistency you want. Yummy outdoors on a brisk Autumn evening, but it can also be cooked on a regular stove.

Answer 8

don't take cereal cause you can't refrigerate the milk. pop tarts, breakfast or granola bars, fruits, already cooked waffles or pancakes (heat them up on the fire), and stuff like that works for breakfast. for lunch, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and stuff like that, but i guess you got that covered............for dinner, it's pretty much the same stuff. when we go camping, we take a little of chicken, pork, venison and stuff like that for the first night (cause you can't refrigerate it, so only bring enough for ONE NIGHT!!!) and if you're near a stream, you can catch fish and cook that if someone knows how to clean it properly.......

they make special grilling racks to put over fires, so you should get one of those. that way you can cook the hamburgers and stuff. if you take a pan and some oil, you can fry stuff. they also have dried out pastas and meals you can buy and boil them in a pot. my brother is in boyscouts and that's basically all they eat. you can cook stuff in tin foil in the coals or on a grilling rack, or you can also make some buns and stuff ---

CAMPER'S BUNS

1. build a fire with some outcoves of coals, not just open flames

2. find a medium-length stick. make sure it's not wet, rotting or infested with bugs or fungus. make sure the bark doesn't come off easily.

3. burn a good length of the end of the stick

4. combine 2 cups of flour, 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 cup water, and 1 tsp of sugar. dough should be soft but not sticky. add flour or water as needed. flour hands and knead for 3 minutes. cover with a wet cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.

5. devide dough into 8 parts. wrap one part around the stick and hold in the coals, not open flames, or place directly onto a grilling rack on coals. baking should take 5-10 minutes. the bun will look dry and puffy when it is done, but it will be slightly hard to the touch. you can fill the hole in the middle (if cooked on the stick) with jelly, butter, or any other filler.

hope i helped =D

Answer 9

Get yourself a tri pod that sit over your firepit, then you can cook bean soup, stew, etc.you cook it a long time but it is delicious.And using a tri pod means you can still get to the fire to add more wood.
