Going on a camping trip doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good meal. You get to cook outdoors with a campfire, alone or with your friends or family, and it is an experience that you’ll always remember.

Here are some camping food ideas you can add to your plans.

Breakfast — Campfire French Toast

The campfire French toast is a moist, thick, rich, and flavorful breakfast recipe you would enjoy making and eating. You’ll need a loaf of sliced bread, fresh strawberries, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, almonds, syrup, and icing sugar.

To make this recipe, put the bread foil-lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle diced strawberries and almonds on the bread, making sure they fall between slices.

Then whisk the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and milk until frothy, and pour the mix on the bread. Then cover with foil and place over the campfire for about 40 minutes. Remove from the fire and let it cool, then serve with sliced strawberries, syrup of your choice, sugar, and beverage or coffee.

Lunch — Grilled Hot Pastrami Sandwich

After a morning of various fun activities at the campsite, a tasty lunch is the best way to relax. Grilling a pastrami sandwich over a campfire or grill is not something you often do.

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe include:

• Sliced pastrami.
• Hoagie-style rolls.
• Provolone cheese.
• Sliced pepper jack cheese.
• Diced purple onion.
• French fried onions.

To make this delicacy, arrange a layer of sliced pastrami on one-half of the rolls, then place two slices of the provolone cheese followed by another layer of pastrami.

Then in this order, arrange two slices of the pepper jack cheese, a layer of pastrami, two pieces of provolone cheese, and onions, then place the second half of the rolls. Wrap in foil and then grill.

Dinner — Campfire Whiskey BBQ Chicken

This recipe is a perfect camp dinner meal, and it’s smokey, spicy, and delicious, but you will need to prepare the sauce at home before heading for the campsite.

You’ll need hot sauce, ketchup, dark molasses, whiskey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, minced garlic clove, and cider vinegar. Mix the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 45 minutes.

Then, barbeque the chicken at the camp, coat the chicken with olive oil, and grill over the campfire until brown. Then brush the sauce over the chicken while still grilling and repeat until your chicken is very brown and thoroughly cooked. Top with more sauce, and your dinner is ready to be served.

Dessert— Mason Jar Peach Crisp

A delicious meal without dessert is incomplete. This crisp peach recipe in small mason jars is a perfect idea for camp desserts. It’s best if you make them at home before going to camp.

The ingredients for this recipe include chopped peaches, tapioca starch or cornstarch, honey, grated ginger, and lemon juice. You’ll need oat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, chopped almonds, melted butter, and a pinch of salt for the crisp topping.

Mix the peaches, tapioca starch, honey, ginger, and lemon juice in a bowl, and evenly combine the topping ingredients in a food processor.

Fill the jars with the peach mixture and the toppings and bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. You can then pack them for your camping trip.

This three-square meal idea can be a whole day plan for your camping trip, or you can make each meal on different days. It all depends on you, but it’s also important that you have fun with it.
