Easy Camping Recipes

There is something about camping that always works up a big appetite.  Luckily, dinner no longer has to be beans and hamburger but if you are going for a chuck-wagon theme, it may just be.  Depending on what you are using for a camping stove, there are easy camping recipes to suit every taste.  Soups and stews are always a filling meal and are easy camping recipes no matter what type of cooking device you use.  Even an open campfire can make some tasty stews and soups, especially with some dried tomatoes and/or mushrooms in them.  Spaghetti is another camping favorite because canned sauce can be used and boiling the pasta is really all of the cooking that needs to be done. 

“Hobo Packs” are always delicious and you can set them up according to your own (and your family’s) tastes. Simply get some heavy duty aluminum foil and add one portion of raw meat, one portion of raw rice or potato and one portion of vegetables or beans.  Seal the foil tightly and use a variety of combinations if you’d like.  These just seem to go so well with camping and they are very filling too.  Simple stew beef or hamburger, some sliced potato and corn or green beans a taste wonderful enjoyed outdoors and is among the easiest camping recipes you can try.  These can even be done in the oven when you are at home so you can practice for your camping trip meals! 

Western food done with easy camping recipes always seems to hit the spot while roughing it outdoors, but the occasional pasta dinner or camp baked pizza works well too and is always much appreciated by those with a more “city” set of taste buds.  Try to perfect your easy camping recipes for your next trip.
