What Can I Cook at my Campsite?

Question

I'm going camping in New Hampshire, and I need some recipes for some meals at the campsite. I'm twelve, but I can cook a lot of things. If you have any not too hard, but still good meals that I could cook, tell me! For cooking supplies I will have the fire pit, and a propane grill. Thanks! Bye

Answer 1

chicken is always easy, and if you want a little creativity soak the chicken in italian dressing before you leave the house, let it marinate. mmmmmmmmmmm   good.

also take a potato wrap in tin foil and throw in hot coals for about 30 min then flip and another 30 min and you have your self a bake potato.  

Answer 2

Hot dogs are easy and fun!  Just put them on a stick and roast them over the fire.

I've made a shepards pie of sort before.  Just take some ground beef, season it, add some veggies and wrap each portion in foil.  You can do the same with fish or whatever.  Put it on the coals.  You'll have to keep on checking it to see when it's done since a fire isn't temperature controlled like an oven.

Potatoes - either whole baked potatoes or roasted potatoes.  For baked, just prick a potatoes with a fork a few times and wrap it in aluminum foil.  For roasted potatoes, cut potatoes into bite sized chunks, toss with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and whatever else you like!

For dessert, we always do baked apples.  Use a butter knife to dig the core out from the top, but don't go all the way through the apple (leave about 1/4 inch at the bottom).  Pack the core with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon (you can play with the amounts of the ingredients, I always just eyeball it).  Wrap them in foil making sure the apple stays upright.  Put the apples on the coals.  You'll know when they're done because the apples will be soft.  They are delicious.  My husband insists we make these every time we have a fire.

When you're cooking on the fire, make sure you have a long, sturdy set of tongs to move things around and take them out.  You can use other utensils, but tongs seem to work the best for us.  Happy camping!

Answer 3

2 links of Hillshire farms smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch discs

4 large baking potatoes, sliced fairly thin

1 sweet onion, sliced thin

4 slices of mozzarella or cheddar cheese

1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce

8 sheets of foil, about 10" x 10"

Lay out 4 sheets of foil. Divide the sausage, potatoes, and onions between the 4 sheets, evenly. Stack so that the potatoes and onions are under the sausage.  Fold the sides of the foil up to form a small cup and pour about 4 tablespoons of the tomato sauce in each packet.  Close and use the remaining 4 sheets of foil to double the layer on each packet.  Place over hot coals for about 45 minutes to an hour or until the potatoes are tender.  Remove from coals and let the cheese melt before serving.

S'mores are good, too.

Answer 4

Foil packs are the greatest thing ever. You can find some online but basically you put a little bit of anything into foil wrap it up. Have a stick or something nearby. Just throw the foil pack into the fire. After a while get it out using a stick and a hot pad to check it. You just eat it once its cooked and then throw away the foil. Easiest and best thing ever to clean up. They are great as well

Answer 12

Potatoes on a grill:

Cut up 2-4 potatoes very thin, almost like potato chips. Mix them in a bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter (the amount of butter needed will vary based on how many potatoes and the size of potatoes), and add chopped onions, parsley, salt, pepper, and whatever other spices you like (I've never made this the same way twice!)

Then, place the mixture into aluminum foil and wrap it up. Then wrap it up a second time, and then a third. Place it over the fire (I'm assuming that the fire pit will come with a grill rack; most do) and keep it there for 40 minutes, flipping it every 5 minutes or so. Once it's done, take it off the grill and poke a fork in it to see if it's done. It's absolutely delicious!

Steak tips:

Simple: marinate the steak tips in whatever you want, then grill them! Be very careful when they are over the fire; the tend to burn fairly easy.

Spaghetti:

Also very simple. Use a pot to place on the grill to warm up the sauce, and then boil water for the spaghetti. If you want garlic bread, take a loaf of Italian bread and slice it up. Butter each side lightly and sprinkle a bit of garlic salt on it. Then wrap it up in aluminum foil and place it over the fire. Flip it fairly frequently, and keep a VERY good eye on it! Bread burns very easily!

Meat sauce is usually easier than meatballs when camping, so just brown the meat over the propane grill (place a metal griddle over the grill to brown) and then place it in the warm sauce.

Hope this helps!

It depends on how much c**p you want to haul to your campsite, doesn't it?
