Whether you love camping or just want to spend some time cooking in the backyard, you want to have some great recipes for outdoor cooking.
If you want to make food while spending time in your backyard, you need to have the right equipment for the task. This would be a great way to test out your cooking skills before taking your stuff on the road to experience the fun of cooking while camping. Outdoor cooking takes some skill and care, but more than anything, you need to have some great recipes to share with your family and friends.
Here are a few great recipes that can make outdoor cooking successful and fun.
Campfire Breakfast Burritos
If you don’t want to eat cold cereal, Pop Tarts, or premade items during breakfast every day that you’re out camping, you’ll want to have a recipe or two that covers breakfast. These Campfire Breakfast Burritos make for a delicious and enjoyable experience in the wilderness, even if that wilderness is only in your own backyard. The overnight fire can be stoked back up and these wonderful burritos will hit the spot, giving everyone something wonderful to eat.
Steak Foil Packs
Foil pack meals are a great way to let everyone get in on the outdoor cooking, making the activity a group item instead of something that only one person does for everyone else. Steak Foil Packs can be a delicious dinner while out on the wilderness, or in your backyard cooking over your fire pit. When you make foil pack dinners, you put the meal packed in the foil on the hot coals of the fire, creating a makeshift Dutch Oven, that can cook your food and make it easy have the meal you want to enjoy.
Dutch Oven Enchiladas
Unless you go on a backpacking trip, you’re likely to have a Dutch Oven along during your camping trip. This means you can easily make some meals in this cooking apparatus, and enjoy the wonderful and warm flavors that come out of it. If you want to spice things up a bit, make these Dutch Oven Enchiladas and enjoy a wonderful ethnic meal that can be one of the best meals that you have whether at home or out in the wilderness.
Hawaiian Kielbasa Kebabs
Kebabs are a great choice for cooking over a fire, and certainly give you an amazing alternative to hot dogs on a stick. Making Hawaiian Kielbasa Kebabs brings some amazing flavors to the mix, ensuring you have the sweetness of cooked pineapple and the saltiness of the Kielbasa. This meal is easy for everyone. You won’t need to clean up much at all, except the cutting boards and prep area, which could be done before you go camping, making things even easier while in the wilderness.
Campfire Cinnamon Rollups
Part of the fun of outdoor cooking and camping is the ability to involve others in the process and to walk around with your meal. These Campfire Cinnamon Rollups make for a great alternative to traditional cinnamon rolls that you can make in the wilderness. Everyone can roll their own item around a stick and add a bit of icing when its done. This allows all campers to put their item over the fire and enjoy a great breakfast item that can also be a good dessert.
S’mores Dip
If you want a fresh take on the traditional version of s’mores, this S’mores Dip could be exactly what you want to enjoy. Instead of allowing kids to walk around with s’mores in their hand, this dip allows the mess to be all in one pan and makes it easy to enjoy this wonderful dessert while camping. This is a great choice for outdoor cooking because if it starts to rain, you can make it indoors as well.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Foil Packets
Another wonderful foil packet dish is this Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Foil Packets recipe. This is a great way to enjoy a fantastic dessert and it could be the ideal item on a day when you don’t have the Hawaiian kebabs. All you have to do is heat these cakes up in the packet because everything is pre-made and store-bought, making it a great item for the outdoors where cooking can be challenging and you need to plan the right ingredients that you want to take with you into the wilderness.
These are just a few of the great outdoor cooking recipes you can use when you want to get started preparing meals for your backyard camping adventures or your time in the wilderness. Which recipes will you make?
