Easy camping meals are only good if they match your family’s taste. Therefore the staples you carry along with you may be different from what someone else would take.

For example, if your family doesn’t like salad, then salad dressing will not be on your list of staples to carry. But if they do like marinaded meat cooked on grill you may take a salad dressing for use as the marinade.

For some, syrup and pancake mix would be essential staples. Use the type of mix that requires water instead of milk and you will have no concerns for keeping milk fresh. For variety you may add fruits such as bananas or blueberries to the batter, or even pecans. All of these are easy to keep fresh for several days without electricity.

Easy lunches can be items like the Kraft Tuna Helper. The tuna has its own container and needs no special care to keep fresh.

Great snacks include all sorts of nuts, fruits and cheese.

To make easy camping meals even easier use a portable propane cooker.

Not only an easy camping meal but an easy clean up as well. You can’t beat that!

You will need the heavy-duty type foil to cook an entire camping meal using no pots and pans at all. You will not want the food to burn or the foil to tear so the heavy duty foil is important.

Also, to make sure the food doesn’t stick, use butter inside or a small amount of cooking oil. Then, after putting in the food to be cooked be sure to fold the foil together with more than one fold to hold all the moisture and flavors in.

And remember from science class there will need to be some extra room inside to leave room for the heat and steam to circulate throughout the food.

When cooking easy camping meals using foil, you will want to cook over a smaller campfire. A roaring flame will surely engulf the meal leaving only charred remains.

It’s a popular technique since it requires no dish washing duties after eating. The cook gets to relax and enjoy hanging out with everyone for a change.

Another benefit of cooking easy camping meals with foil is that you can prepare ahead of time so you can quickly have a dinner heated and ready to devour with no preparation of cutting and chopping.

Easy camping meals for vegetarians may be limited but you’ll love this one.

We like to bring along vegetables we chopped up at home so we can easily create this delicious meal. You can use any variety of vegetables you like. To get started try using carrots, potatoes, corn and onions. You might like to add broccoli and cauliflower as well.

Using aluminum foil, make bowl shapes the size of one serving. Make an aluminum foil “bowl” for each person on the trip. Pour your favorite marinating mixture over the vegetables. Some people like to use BBQ sauce or thicker type salad dressings.

Once the sauce is on the vegetables, close the “bowl” and put it on the fire, grill, or coals long enough for the vegetables to become tender. When done, use the “bowls” on plates and enjoy! You’ll be excited to know after eating all the clean up will involve is to throw away the aluminum foil, especially if you have used a paper plate also.

Don’t you just love corn on the cob picked fresh from the field? At home we like to microwave it in its husk for five minutes so it’s easy to cook. But we love it grilled, too. Grilled corn on the cob is one of my favorite vegetables when it comes to cooking easy camping meals.

Include corn on the cob when camping. It’s popular with adults and kids alike and all you have to do is grill it for five to six minutes with the husk on. Put some salted butter on it and you’re good to go.

Easy camping meals are also surely meals that are also easy at home. Camping is a great time to emphasize your grilled favorites as camping meals.

A great choice for an easy camping meal that is grilled is chicken. Take frozen chicken is a great choice. I discovered this idea once when we were getting ready to go out the door and I realized I had not thawed the chicken. We were cutting it short on our arrival time and wanted to start grilling immediately since we would be cooking right at dusk.

I took a chance and went ahead and threw the seasons onto the frozen chicken hoping for the best. It turned out this recipe done exactly this way became a family favorite!

So before leaving home prepare the seasonings ahead of time. Season the chicken before leaving home so it can marinade in the dry seasonings before arriving to the camp site and time to cook.

As an added benefit, having frozen chicken in the cooler helps keep the other foods cool.

Also, grilled chicken is a flexible recipe making it an easy camping meal for pleasing everyone in the family. You can grill it plain or with favorite sauces such as BBQ.
