Popular Camping Recipes for Summer

By David Sweet, About.com

Food always tastes great at the campground. If you're like me, you like to try different foods from time to time. Here are the most popular camping recipes, which were sent in by fellow campers. Give any one of these a try!

1. Hobo Dinner

Submitted by Karen Dishaw, "An easy one to make on the grill or the campfire."

2. Boatin' Hillbilly Trash Breakfast

Submitted by Pat Frain. "This is so easy to make, and you can add whatever you want, and clean up is easy. I made this up last summer and the marina that we keep our boat at and my other boating friends just love it. We have a cruiser which is like a camper, only it sits on the water."

3. Burger Boats

Submitted by Michelle Warren, "This was my dad's recipe. It can either be placed on a grill or laid in the coals. You can also make this as a whole dish instead of individuals, in the Dutch oven, or Crock-pot."

4. Biscuit on a Stick

Submitted by Joe Adams, "About ten years ago one of my camping buddies pulled a can of biscuits out of his cooler one cold camping morning and introduced us to this great and simple culinary miracle."

5. Tacos in a Bag

Submitted by Girl Scout Troop #149, "Easy clean up. Great for the last meal before breaking camp. This is the favorite recipe of Girl Scout Troop #149!"

6. All In The Mix

Submitted by Lit'l John, "This is something me and my brother threw together on our last night of camping a couple of years ago. It's all we had left to eat of our food supply and man was it good."

7. Foil Packs

Submitted by Cindi Stokes, "Our scouts do this recipe the first night of every camping trip."

8. Pasta Salad

Submitted by Kim, "This easy recipe is great for camping or summer meals! My husband actually taught me how to make this salad when we met. It is so easy and always a favorite. It will last for several days, so we're able to have it with different meals or just to snack on. I fix it for every trip we take."

9. Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya

Submitted by JRzMom, "I served this at last year's family camping reunion and got rave reviews. There wasn't a lick of it leftover and, since I prepared it all at home, there was nothing to clean up!"

10. Cole Slaw

Submitted by David, "What's a barbecue sandwich or a summer picnic without this traditional sidedish?"
