The key to a good camping recipe is that it be simple and good. Camping brings on an appetite and everyone is usually hungry when they gather for meals. Being able to prepare simple food that’s delicious will make everyone happy.

Here are seven simple but tasty recipes to serve while camping.

Stick Biscuit

Simply pack a roll of refrigerator biscuits in your cooler and pull them out one morning for breakfast. Use your marshmallow stick (or make yourself a new one for this purpose) and roll a biscuit until it is tubular (about 5-6 inches long). Push it onto the stick and set it over the campfire. Cook until the biscuit is golden brown. Remove from the stick and pour squeeze butter into the hole.

,p>For a delicious but messy twist, add jam to the hole or spread some around the outside of the biscuit. These biscuits are a nice addition to your camp scrambled eggs.

Breakfast Burrito

Another tasty breakfast meal is a breakfast burrito. This one can be prepped before you leave home and put together at the campsite.

Cook some sausage and green pepper before you leave home. Store that in a plastic container in the cooler. Also crack the number of eggs you will need (about 1 dozen eggs to 1 pound sausage) and put those in a separate plastic container. Store in the cooler.

When it’s time to eat, heat up a tortilla, cook the eggs and add the sausage mixture to get it hot. Pile into a warm tortilla and add a sprinkle of cheddar or jack cheese. Roll up and enjoy.

Hot Dogs for Lunch

Lunch is usually not a cooked meal when camping, but you can prepare the big brother to pigs in a blanket with little hot dogs in a warm sleeping bag (made out of raw bread dough) when you need something warm on a rainy day.

Roll a hot dog in a small amount of bread dough (that’s been flattened so it’s about three times the size of the hot dog) and put it into a greased pan. You can add a slice of cheese to the hot dog roll if you like. Once the pan is full of the “sleeping bags”, seal it with foil so there’s a tight seal. Place over hot coals and cook about 45 minutes to an hour, or until brown and cooked all the way through.

Chili

For dinner, consider making a chili. You don’t need a recipe for this. Do some pre-prep at home by cutting vegetables, draining beans, and cooking the meat you’ll be using. In a deep pot add whatever ingredients you normally put into your chili, including your prepped vegetables and cooked meat. Assemble, put over the fire until hot and enjoy.

Chicken Dinner in a Bag

For this, you need to purchase some Reynolds Hot Bags. At home before you leave for the camping trip, dice your choice of vegetables you’d like to use. You can use green beans, corn, mushrooms or peppers. Potatoes will have to wait until you need them as you don’t want black potatoes in your chicken bag. Place skinless, boneless chicken breasts into the bag, layer on the vegetables and a packet of dry onion soup mix, a tablespoon of flour and 4-5 tablespoons of butter or margarine.

Place the bag on top of the grill and turn about every 15 minutes until done. If your coals are very hot, everything should be cooked within 30 to 45 minutes.

Fajitas in Foil

You can cook just about anything on the fire that’s wrapped in foil and fajitas are no exception. To do this, start by simply layering strips of beef or chicken on the top of a piece of foil. Add peppers or onions and fajita seasoning. Top with another piece of foil and seal tightly. Cook over the coals until the chicken or beef is cooked. Serve with tortillas, sour cream and cheese. Fajitas aren’t traditional camping food, so you’ll catch everyone off guard with this unique meal.

S’mores

The best and most traditional dessert while camping is a s’more, of course. There are plenty of variations on this theme to keep it exciting and fun. For example, consider adding some fruit to your traditional s’more. A slice of strawberry or pineapple might be just unique enough to be delicious when found in the middle of your s’more. You can make s’mores out of brownies. Just cut the brownies in half horizontally and roast a marshmallow. Put the marshmallow on one half of the brownie and top with the other half of the brownie. Think about the variations—you can make brownies with peanut butter chips in them or Rocky Road brownies with peanuts and marshmallows in them.

Enjoy the food when camping – sometimes it’s the best part of the trip.
