Best Campfire Recipes easy to make for your weekend trip

When we go camping, we don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking and cleaning up. We have better things to do. You too?

Especially if your kitchen is as tiny as mine, with almost no counter space, a good alternative is cooking outside on the grill or campfire. And so much fun for the kids too.

Washing dishes and especially greasy pans are no fun at all.

Therefore I collected easy-to-make recipes with ingredients you don’t need to go hunting for because most of them you will probably have at home.

Who wants to run through supermarkets before you go camping?

We eat simple, good and stressless when we are camping.

If you are curious about what everybody loves to eat, here is my weekend recipe collection of the Best Campfire Recipes easy to make.

And you can add to the recipes whatever you have in your fridge or feel like adding to it.

It took me a long time to figure out how to store all of our stuff in the little Camper. If you are interested, here are 20 of the best RV storage ideas.

Add salt and pepper and pressed garlic.

Depending on the sausage, you don’t need a lot of spices, otherwise, add some dried red peppers to spice it up if you want to.

Cover the whole Baguette bread with aluminum foil and put it on the grill for 5 minutes. Don’t put the bread on the fire, it will burn. Put it on the side where it is not too hot. You just want to make the butter melt and the bread warm.

How to make the chicken breast

Cook it on the grill for 5 minutes on each side, then add another 2 minutes. Check if the chicken is cooked through before you serve it. (Depends on the thickness of the chicken).

8. Haloumi Pita (vegetarian)

Ingredients:

• Haloumi Cheese (found in Trader Joe’s)
• Tomatoes
• Rucola
• Peppers, Mushrooms, Zucchini
• Olive Oil
• Pita Bread

If you don’t know what Haloumi cheese is, you have to try it. Haloumi is originally from Cyprus and is so delicious. It is stored in salt brine and therefore won’t get bad. The consistency is a little harder than Mozzarella and perfect for grilling. It is used in Europe mainly as grilled cheese with grilled vegetables. It tastes a little salty but doesn’t have a strong cheese taste.

How to make it:

You can make different kinds of Pita Sandwiches, we like tomatoes and rucola or grilled vegetables:

Cut the Haloumi Cheese into about 1/4″ slices.

Add a splash of olive oil in a pan and add the cheese slices carefully (it might splash because the Haloumi comes out from a watery salt brine).

Brown the cheese slices on each side on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Warm up the Pita bread on the campfire and add 3 slices of Haloumi cheese, 3 tomato slices, and a little rucola on top, and done.

or

Haloumi with vegetables

Dice the vegetables, add salt, pepper and basil or a little oregano and fry it in a pan with olive oil until brown.

Warm up the Pita bread, add 3 slices of Haloumi and 2 spoons of vegetables to the Pita and done.

Tastes absolutely delicious and is done in 10-15 minutes.
