Camping out with your family is one of the most memorable activities that you can do. Not only is it an excellent time to bond and reconnect, but it is also a time to unplug and reset your mind. But while fishing, hiking, and reading are all great camp activities, you cannot leave out one of the best family bonding activities: cooking.
Cooking over the campfire is different than cooking in your own kitchen and it is more delicious than your standard take out. If you are just starting out with camp cooking or just looking for something different to try out, here are some fun family dishes for you.
These delicious dinners are filling and will not weigh down your stomach, which is just what you want when you are out camping. With only five ingredients, this Pillsbury dish makes four servings. Instead of baking it in the oven as the standard recipe calls for, there is a camping alternative.
Ingredients:
What campout is complete without hot dogs? But if you are looking for something a little different, try out these tasty camping hot dogs.
Ingredients:
Pack of Hot Dogs (for however many people you are cooking for)
A can of crescent roll dough (or two cans depending on how many hot dogs you are making)
Aluminum foil
While these guys are easy to make at home in your kitchen, they are also a fun treat to make over the campfire.
Ingredients:
Package of English muffins
Jar of pizza sauce
Bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
Whatever you usually like on pizza
Aluminum foil
For the cool mornings of a campout, it is important to have a hearty breakfast. If you are a sausage lover, this is an excellent recipe for you to try out. Kids especially like this recipe because they can put whatever they like into their breakfast pack and can help make them as well.
Ingredients:
For another delicious and hearty breakfast idea, potato boats are always a hit with kids. It is easier if you can bake your potatoes before you go camping to save yourself time. Otherwise, you should cook the potatoes over the campfire the night before so you can turn them into breakfast boats in the morning. These can also be eaten as a dinner if you would prefer.
Ingredients:
With a little bit of planning, you can have delicious meals that your family will never forget at your next campout. The best part of cooking individual packets is that everyone can have the ingredients that they prefer, giving kids more power over the food and letting them have a little bit of fun. Remember to cook all meats thoroughly to ensure that no one gets sick from the food on your camping trip. Otherwise, have fun with it and enjoy!
