Easy camping recipes for outdoor cooking
Our go-to dinner for camping is campfire nachos; we prepare them almost every trip. Loading a Dutch oven full of tortilla chips, melty cheese, black beans, salsa, and all your preferred nacho toppings and calling it supper could be easier—or tastier—than this! Making these foil packet nachos instead can help you if you lack a Dutch oven.
Chicken Tzatziki Skewers
We adore these Greek-inspired grilled chicken skewers topped with tzatziki sauce. Chop the vegetables and chicken, then make (or purchase) the tzatziki sauce at home to prepare this camping dinner ahead of time. All you have to do at the campground then is arrange and cook the skewers.
Kielbasa Potato Foil packets
Maybe the finest camping meal available is foil package recipes! Zero dishes make them easy to create and utilize; also, they are always rather delicious. For a rib-sticking, very simple camping lunch, these Kielbasa Potato Foil Packets mix potatoes and Kielbasa sausage with spicy mustard, butter, and spices.
Foil packets for shrimp boils
Among our all-time favorite camp dishes is this shrimp boil foil packet. Prawns, smokey sausage, buttery corn and tangy lemon taken together taste like summer. Moreover, there are no dishes to wash as the whole dinner cooks in foil!

Simple Chicken Curry
Along with tons of taste, this plant-based alternative is quite satisfying and high in protein. For us, this is a simple lunch that we keep having repeatedly.

Skillet Breakfast from Mountains
Here's one of those camping meal ideas perfect for a full day ahead. With protein (eggs and sausage), carbohydrates (potatoes), and veggies combined in one great pan, all topped with a wonderful mountain of cheese, this breakfast skillet is ideal for fuelling your day.
Sloppy Jues
Is the best meal for camping Sloppy Joes? We think so! Packed within soft buns, tangy ground beef makes for a whole crowd pleasing meal. Usually we create the filling ahead of time and keep it in our cooler; then we simply have to reheat it up at the campground, stack our burger buns high, and serve it with one of our preferred sloppies sides! In campfire baked sweet potatoes, too, the Sloppy Joe filling is superb. Try this recipe for red lentil Sloppy Joes if you would like a vegetarian sloppy Joe variation. Also fantastic!
Chili Mac Made in One Pot
Comfortable camping meal with hearty tastes! The simple chili comes together in your skillet, then the pasta cooks up exactly in the chili for another one of those one-pan camping dishes we really enjoy. This one pot chili mac dish is quite adaptable; ideas for varying the heat level depend on who is eating, and meaty or vegetarian variations abound.
