14 Ridiculously Easy Recipes for Your Next Camping Trip

Sara Cagle ·
Camping provides the opportunity to cook creatively since you're working with limited tools, unpredictable conditions, and fewer ingredients. As cool as brewing kombucha or mandoline-slicing veggies for campfire ratatouille sounds, you'll probably be happier making simple yet filling foods while you're living in a tent. Here are 14 easy recipes, from breakfast to dessert, that make campsite cooking approachable and delicious.
3-Ingredient Protein Pancakes: All you need are bananas, eggs, and your favorite protein powder to make these quick and healthy pancakes. They're super customizable, meaning you can top yours with anything from a chocolate smiley face to a blueberry heart. (via Brit + Co)
One-Skillet Beef Stroganoff: If you're camping but still want a hearty meal that tastes just like Grandma used to make, turn to this simplified beef stroganoff. It's the most high-effort recipe on this list, but it only requires one skillet. The minimal advance prep will go a long way. (via Fresh Off the Grid)
Campfire Peach Cobbler: If you never thought canned peaches and refrigerated biscuit dough could make you sing, you underestimated canned peaches and refrigerated biscuit dough. When dusted with cinnamon sugar and cooked over the fire, they're sweet, buttery, and the perfect vehicle for copious amounts of whipped cream. (via Brit + Co)
Campfire Chilaquiles: Turn a bag of tortilla chips into breakfast with these hearty chilaquiles. This Mexican-inspired dish is basically breakfast lasagna, as it comes together easily with layers of salsa, beans, chips, and cheese — plus eggs on top. (via Brit + Co)
Mediterranean Salmon Foil Packets: Cool pesto and crumbly feta on top of silky salmon filets will always feel restorative, no matter how hot it is outside. (via The Seasoned Mom)
Chickpea Salad Sandwich: If you're somewhat challenged when it comes to starting a campfire, have no fear. This budget-friendly vegetarian meal comes together in minutes, no heat necessary. (via Brit + Co)
Fruit Skewers With Mason-Jar Whipped Cream: Behold, exhibit number 700 why butter and sugar make everything better, Here, they're slathered onto your favorite summer fruits, which are formed into skewers and grilled in foil packets. While they cook, have fun shaking up some mason-jar whipped cream — just try not to eat it all with a spoon before the fruit is done. (via Brit + Co)
Pineapple Chicken Skewer Lettuce Wraps: Bring pre-marinated chicken and wrap fixings to your campsite, then unload everything onto a tray. Your fellow campers will have a blast customizing their own skewers and lettuce wraps. (via Brit + Co)
Grilled Halloumi Breakfast Sandwich: The halloumi on this meat-free sandwich promises all the heartiness and none of the greasiness of bacon or sausage. When fried for just a few minutes, it gets perfectly golden on the outside and remains toothsome throughout. (via Fresh Off the Grid)
Foil-Packet Nachos: You’ve tried them in the oven, you’ve tried them in the microwave at 2am, and now it’s time to try them camp-style in a foil packet over a crackling fire. These packs seal in a lot of heat, so everything melds to the chips, and the cheese melts perfectly. (via The Cookie Rookie)
Kettle Chip S'mores: As it turns out, elevating classic s'mores is as simple as adding a couple of potato chips. Their saltiness draws out even more sweetness from chocolate, and their crispiness is the perfect contrast with pillowy marshmallows. (via Fresh Off the Grid)
Campfire Veggie Packets: Bring chopped peppers, onions, and potatoes to camp, dump them into foil packets with your favorite sausage, and enjoy an exquisitely fragrant meal. (via Brit + Co)
Foil-Pack Garlic Fries: Fries can totally be a meal. They do it in Belgium all the time. Enjoy these well-seasoned spuds post-hike, and you’ll forever be a believer in the power of campfire potatoes. (via Kirbie's Cravings)
10-Minute Vegan Stir-Fry: If all you have time to do in the way of food prep is to stop at a Trader Joe’s on the way to your campsite, you’re in luck. This 10-minute stir-fry comes together with three main ingredients and requires zero advance work. (via Brit + Co)
