Camp Cooking Tips for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner: |
Plan ahead
Measure and combine dry ingredients ahead of time and put them in resealable sandwich bags. Bring small amounts of cooking supplies rather than big containers. For example, pour a few ounces of cooking oil into a resealable plastic jar rather than bringing the entire bottle. Remember to label the bags and containers.Cook ahead
Cook meals like chili or stew ahead at home. They can be kept in a cooler and quickly reheated when you’re hungry. Think convenience
Take advantage of convenience foods. Boil-in-the-bag rice cooks up fast and easy and is well worth the few extra cents. Just-add-water foods and drinks such as instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, soups, chili and cups of noodles make great no-cleanup meals and snacks. Experiment with salsa
Salsa is extremely versatile. Stored in a leakproof container, it will keep in your cooler for several days. For some quick meals and snack ideas, try the following suggestions:
- Serve with scrambled eggs or stir into omelets.
- Spoon over grilled chicken or flank steak and roll up into tortillas.
- Stir into rice or beans.
- Lightly heat and pour over hot pasta.
- Use as a dip for chips.
