Your favourite camp foods and recipes
on: June 03, 2015, 05:28:22 PM
What are your favourite things to cook on the fire? Or on your outdoor stove?
We're camping on the weekend and I am looking for more inspiration!

I love steak, caveman style. (Stab meat with stick, hold meat over fire) :drool:

I'm normally traveling light, so hot food is often chicken Supernoodles (ramen noodles) with fried slices of chorizo sausage added.  It's not exactly "cooking" but it is quick, hot and rather tasty after a day or two of hiking. ;)

Agreed!

Also if I am gonna be out for a few days or longer, I go light. And when I cook, its things like Ramon noodles, rice with some kind of meat or MREs. Although, I have tried a couple packs of Mountain House. There Mac and cheese is pretty good. So is the eggs and bacon.
Also squirrel is good cooked over a fire and so is deer.

A Pizza Burger.

Buy 2 frozen pizzas and cook them over the fire slowly. Place one face up in a Dutch Oven, place a precooked pound of hamburger meat on it, then lay the opposite pizza FACE DOWN on top.

Place the lid on and let the hamburger meat heat up and the cheese from the pizzas glue everything together.

I hate to derail, but WAY back in cub scouts I can remember cutting an orange in half, pelling the innards out, pouring cake batter or something in the orange peel halves, then baking over the fire. I can't remember exactly what the recipe was but have any of yall heard of this? It was DELICIOUS.

Car camping

Pretty much any of your favorite recipes can be made while car camping. 

I like to make flavorful one pot meals when I can.  Weather also dictates what I'll eat as well.  I typically camp in fall/winter so hearty warm meals are favorites.   
Chili con Carne with Corn Bread.
Gumbo
Soups
Arroz con Pollo ( rice and chicken )
Pasta with Meatballs ( pre-made at home )

Grilled foods are tasty and doesn't everything pretty much taste great on the open fire?

Steaks, Fish, Chicken, Sausages.
Side dishes Rice, pasta salads, grilled vegetables.

IIRC I've tried a couple of the wet pouches of the Mountain House packs as well.  I remember them being tasty enough, but they're just a little short of being a full meal IMO and the weight starts to add up if you're carrying more than one or two.  Not exactly cheap here either. :-\

Edit - OK, I might be wrong.  Mountain House look like freeze dried packs, right?  If so then ignore the above statement. :angel:

Yeah, they are the freezes dried stuff.
But I agree on the price. They are a little pricey. But they will keep forever.

Bannock and smoked sausage on a stick is a great camp meal and a lot of fun to do.

Mix at home:

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

To make Bannock in camp.

add 1 tbsp oil or butter to the mix then add water until the mix feels like play-doh.
let the dough rise and it is ready to cook.

Find some green branches remove the bark.
wrap the bannock on a branch and roast it over coals.

The sausage or hot dogs are pretty basic put them on a stick and roast them.
I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

Hi Meg, here's an old one with a new twist. Take a whole sweet onion and peel the outer skin off. Quarter it without seperating it completely. Fill the cavity with 1/4 to 1/2 stick of butter then salt and pepper to taste. Wrap tightly in foil and toss contents into the ashes. 45 minutes to an hour later you have carmalyzed onion wedges that go with anything. Eat them out of an old Gold mining pan along with a large steak, ranch beans and a baked potato prepared the same way.

For breakfast, line the bottom of a paper bag with strips of raw bacon. On top of the bacon goes 2 eggs and shredded potato "hash browns". Hang the bag safely above the hot coals and the entire contents will cook together without burning the bag.

Or make Grant hike out and come back with beer and pizza!

Stew

I like that one Stew. My mother liked to make onions on a hot ashes, when she was a youngster. She loved them.

i, myself love good cooked onions. You need only so little spices to cook them, and make them delicious.

Prepare a dehydrated veggie and herb mix in advance. At camp, add this to a pan of water and place on the fire/stove, while the water is heating up dice up some chorizo or similar sausage and add to the pan, as soon as the water had boiled and the veggies have rehydrated, remove from the fire/stove, add cous cous and a couple of shakes of tabasco, replace the lid and wait 5 mins before scoffing straight from the pan. This also works in a Jetboil PCS or Nato type mug.

If you've taken a coolbox (car camping) and can therefore take more stuff, there's a couple of other excellent things you can bake in foil in the ashes:

Take a boneless pork chop, dip both sides in beaten egg, then dip again in Paxo stuffing mix (or a mix of dry breadcrumbs, with sage and onion), wrap in greased foil and bake. The juices from the pork reconstitute and cook the stuffing crust.

Or

Take a chicken breast, slic open lengthways like a pitta bread, stuff with a 50/50 mix of green pesto and soft cream cheese (Philadelphia is perfect), wrap in pancetta or thin sliced bacon, wrap again in greased foil and bake.
