Backpacker's Thanksgiving Dinner

Beef Pasta

Best Broccoli Omelet
A camping recipe from Phyllis DeMarco. I have been camping for many years and this is the most asked for recipe by my two boys.

Breakfast Soup for Southerners

Campfire Tuna-Mac
A camping recipe from Jen. This is so easy, but it is amazingly good.

Campsite Cannonballs
A camping recipe from Kirk. This is one of our campsite favorites.

Corned Beef Stew
A camping recipe from Jim. This recipe is very easy to prepare, and it requires no refrigerated ingredients.

Cream of Chicken and Rice
A camping recipe from Gary Totten. If you are looking for a simple, fast, hot, nutritious, easy clean up, One Pot Meals that tastes great - add this recipe to your camping menu.

Dave's Jambalaya
Dave's Jambalaya, a camping recipe from Dave. Optionally you can add tabasco sauce to heat things up. We left out the tabasco, and the spices from the mix made this dish just perfect for an October dinner.

David and Aimee's Burritos
A camping recipe from David and Aimee. This has become one of our regular staples on the trail. This meal is a welcome variety to dehydrated and bland pre-packaged foods. You may also use tortillas to make breakfast burritos as well. If you like burritos, then you will, like us, come to believe that these ROCK on the trail.

Drunk Risotto
A camping recipe from David. Risotto goes with just about everything. My camping version has a different twist to it. Rather than bringing stock to the campground, I used what I had available in the cooler: beer.

Easy Pasta Salad
A camping recipe from 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.

Easy Stew
A camping recipe from bigdaddy. Several years ago, while my wife was going to school, I would take my son and two daughters camping. We tried to keep work to a minimum so we had more time for play. This was a low cost, low effort, quick-to-make meal with few dirty dishes to clean. Our favorite was the chicken with chicken flavored noodles and either carrots or peas or sometimes both. But any combination of vegetables would work.

Egg Salad Sandwich Spread
A camping recipe from David. My wife really likes this recipe. It's easy to make, and you've probably tried a similar recipe. I make this ahead of time at home, but you could make it at the campground too.

Fiesta Macaroni and Cheese
A camping recipe from Jim. Quick and easy to prepare. I found this recipe on the Kraft Foods site and have used it several times. My Venture Scouts (Ages 14-20) love it and can make it easily on the trail. Tip: put the ground beef in a baggie and freeze it, then wrap in foil and put in fanny pack. When ready for dinner it should be thawed.

Hunters' Dumplings
A camping recipe from Linda. This is a great recipe on a cold day when you get back to camp from fishing or hunting. The leftovers are great too.

Leave It Alone Corn on the Cob
Leave It Alone Corn on the Cob - a amping recipe from Heather. This is a great recipe for large picnics when you don't have enough room on your stove to have a bunch of pots of water with corn. You just let the corn sit all day and it tastes great.

Macaroni and Cheese
A camping recipe from David. If you're camping with kids, this dish is sure to be a hit.

Meatballs
Meatballs, a camping recipe from Anne Bull. It is a favorite of my kids and so easy to do.

Potato Salad
A camping recipe from Celene Fortini. This is a great basic potato salad with lots of room for creativity. Make at home before hand or chop up ingredients to have ready to cook at the campsite.

Potato Salad
A camping recipe from Cindy Thornlow. I found that a lot of people don't like chunks of egg white, so I grate it and then you have all the flavor, but don't feel the texture.

Potato Salad
A camping recipe from Patty.

Quick Energy Hikers' Bars
A camping recipe from Lorraine. No bake and very nutritious.

Quick and Easy Nachos
A camping recipe from Cheryl. Onions, tomato and olives can be cut up before leaving home and placed in sandwich bags to make dinner preparations quicker when arriving at camp the first night.

Ranch Potato Salad
A camping recipe from Rene. This was a recipe that came about when we were living in a camper. We were building a house and lived in campers for seven months! There are six in our family, and I was always looking for a fast meal. This has become one of my husband's favorites.

Spicy Chicken Casserole
A camping recipe from Jim Abbott. This is an easy and quick recipe which can be varied according to one's tastes when you are at the late in the day hungry stage and don't want to spend a long time over a stove. All of the items are staples which can be purchased in advance.

Stolen Creole Dinner
A camping recipe from theman. I got this recipe from a gent that I had the pleasure of spending a weekend fishing with. It sure didn't take very long for three full-size hungry grown men to demolish a pot full of this all too easy fixin's.

Warm To Your Stomach Meal
A camping recipe from Patty. This meal is warm satisfaction for a good appetite.
