Camping Recipes: Preparation: Heat

Apple Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
A camping recipe from Two Bugs. Very good and it keeps the hungries away while fixing the rest of the foods. This recipe can be prepared ahead of time at home to take to the campground.

Beans
A camping recipe from Mike. I invented this recipe while I was camping in Lapaz, Mexico back in 1994, and it has been a favorite of my family ever since.

Backpacker's Thanksgiving Dinner
A camping recipe from Kelsey Cornelius. A feast for on the trail.

Baked Beans
A camping recipe from David. What kid (small or big) ever went camping and sat around the campfire without craving some hot dogs and baked beans? Add a few extras to some canned beans to create a gourmet dish.

Bean Supreme
A camping recipe from Marilyn. This is one of our family's favorites even at home on a Saturday night. Easy and delicious. We never have beans straight from the can anymore.

Beanie Weenie Casserole
A camping recipe from Rebecca Bishop. I am a cook at a campsite now and have found this is a big hit whenever I serve it. This recipe can be done on the stove or over a fire.

Bikers Subs
A camping recipe from eaglescout. This is a great make-ahead recipe for bikers, boaters, campers and anyone who wants a quick meal without all the work. People will love you, if you share.

BWTB, Big Weenie Taters and Beans
A camping recipe from Bruce Hilbert. One night it just struck us that this would make a great camp meal, if we just put it all in one pot.

Chili-Tamale Casserole
A camping recipe from Susie Osborn. This recipe is very fast, very good, and very filling.

Corn Beef Vegetable Stew
A camping recipe from Lou Ann. You can add as much vegetables and cabbage and even add another can of corn beef per your taste and quantities you want to make. You can use Natural Seasoning, Dash, or pepper, celery seed, salt, garlic and anything else you want to season with. I use Natural Seasoning, because it has most of the seasonings in it. Play with it.

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.

Cupcake Eggs
A camping recipe from Rivergal. This is a quick way to cook eggs and still have an extra pan for bacon or ham or griddle for pancakes or whatever.

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.

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.

Frito Pies
A camping recipe from Paula. A quick snack for kids, young and old.

Greycore Beans
A camping recipe from Jim. If you're making this for adults, you might want to add 1/4 cup of Meyers dark rum.

Hot Potato Salad
A camping recipe from Jean Lasher. This dish goes well with hamburgers or hotdogs.

Machaca Roast Beef
A camping recipe from Linda. Kids love this and it's so easy.

Old Fashioned Coffee
A camping recipe from Big John. This is a big hit with all my fishing and camping buddies. We have enjoyed a lot of relaxing hours at breakfast, or in the evening just sitting around the campfire.

Pizza
A camping recipe from Roger. You can use ham, pineapple, mushrooms, sausage or anything left over that you would eat on a pizza.

Shlagosh
A camping recipe from Dan Kapelus. This delicacy was concocted on the last night of a winter trip as we wanted to eat the remaining food, so we threw it all together.

Smocos
A camping recipe from Diana. You can also make smoco pizzas by using two large tortillas with the chocolate chips and marshmallows in between. After heating on both sides, cut in wedges.

Spiced Hot Milk
A camping recipe from StoryMakingMother. We invented this recipe one night when we were down to one teaspoon of cocoa. It is very strong and feels spicy and exotic. On that cold night, it was a hit, and now we make it just for fun.

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.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs on Rice
A camping recipe from Marilyn. Whenever I have served this dish, the recipe has been given out, so it is getting around. I like to add a little ginger as well, but my kids don't care for it that much.

Taco Soup
A camping recipe from Marilyn. I make this ahead and freeze it in a Ziploc bag and just warm it when it thaws. I keep all my frozen meals together in a cooler and warm the ones that thaw first.
