Can you suggest some meals for camping?

Question

Specifically looking for dinners other than hot dogs. Last time I went camping I had hot dogs 2 nights in a row and really don't wan to do that again.

Answer 1

If you have the right equipment, you can cook just about anything you would have at home over a campfire.  Invest in a good cast iron skillet and a dutch oven, and you're good to go.  Meat will keep well in your cooler, just keep the ice stocked up and put it in well-sealed plastic bags to prevent leakage.  Onions, potatoes, celery, and some carrots are good things to have on hand, just make sure to store them in a tight container to keep the critters out!

Answer 2

I don't know why, but camping always made me hungry as a bear. Maybe it was boredom. Here are some links for grill, grate, foil and stick -

Answer 3

Lotsa beer and Kabobs!!!

Answer 4

Spam is good to mix into lots of things. Eggs are great on a camping trip if you can pack them so they don't break, even better with some cheese. If you can't manage, even the fake eggs are good. Bread fried in butter is is a great breakfast. Beans have a high water (and therefore, weight) content unless you bring them dry (in which case they are a right pain to prepare) but are a great source of protein and fat, and go well with lots of things.

Hope that helps you get started!

Answer 5

Use whole wheat bread, a couple bananas, peanut butter, and honey.  

Bring a non-stick skillet and some cooking spray (look for canola or butter flavored). And a spatula.

Make a PB, Banana, and honey sandwhich then grill like a grilled-cheese, lightly brown on both sides.  

Be careful not to burn!

It is literally the best thing ever.  Melty and sweet, and pretty healthy actually!

People will fall deeply in love with you if you give them one, I promise.

Answer 6

Ramen Noodles.  They're quick easy and delicious.  Also,  go to a camping store and buy camping food its easy and good. Just add water.

Answer 7

It depends whether you are cooking on just a fire or if you have some cooking supplies. If you are just on a fire you can make sausages, chicken, potatoes..pretty much anything you could make on a barbeque you just have to wrap it in foil. I highly recommend bringing a colman burner which you can put right on a little propane bomb. It is very easy to use and heats up water very quickly. You could make spaghetti with this, or another easy meal is tacos! Cut up the veggies and pre cook the hamburger at home. All you have to do is heat up the hamburger and put your sauce mix in.  

Answer 8

Hot Chili, Cream cheese, tortilla chips.  Baby you got a chili dip goin'.  Keep it simple when camping.

Answer 9

If you bring a pan or  a pot, you can make fish over the fire, or beans, or soup....you could do hamburgers. Or make sandwiches in advance

Answer 12

Depending on how stocked and prepared you are there is really no limit to what you can cook outsid.  My dad had a fish fryer growing up and we ate a lot of fried catfish, my husband brings his little BBQ pit, you can wrap stuff in foil and stuff into the cools of a fire, my friend loves to cook on a grate over the open fire, my mom always made big breakfasts with the coleman stove even biscuits and gravey to go with the eggs and bacon.  Man I miss those days.

Answer 13

If your talking  about cooking over the campfire you can buy those  little sandwich makers  for a campfire.  You can make grilled  cheese or one of our favorites  are  pizza pocket...bread,  pizza sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings and put in some hot coals and you have a mini pizza.  Make sure  you butter  the pans good so things dont stick and the cast iron ones are much better than the aluminum ones.

Answer 14

you can make peanutbutter & jelly sandwiches , nuts are always good and you'll get your protein which will give you energy

Answer 15

Marsh-mellows!!! wooooohooooo

Answer 16

We always BBQ when we go camping.  Steak, hamburgers, Italian Sausage, chicken etc... We supplement with, corn on the cob & some homemade macaroni/potato salad.

Answer 17

we always have one night where we go all out, cook baked potatoes in foil, grill steaks over the fire with roasted corn on the cob
