Cooking On a camp site?

Question

What breakfast could i cook on a camp site without milk, eggs and flour. Something that would take 5minutes to cook and is easy to carry. I have to go 4 days with a backpack full of food and camping equiptment.

Answer 1

tortillya wraps warmed in pan then filled with bacon etc. pitta breads again filled with ham cheese tomato etc. u can get small pots of jam or honey if u have a sweet tooth and small foil wrapped cheeses or baby bel rounds which would keep ok. instant pkt soups are light to carry and warming if the weather is wet and cold also pot noodles, good luck have a great time u can also get pkt of french toast from some supermarkets and they can be used with loads of toppings also go well with the soup

Answer 2

Since I only camp places that allow open fires, my recipes are mostly for dutch ovens. Biscuits, cakes, stews; that sort of thing. However, anything fried on a stove should work for you with a propane grill. Spaghetti dinners, soups, veggies and just about anything you cook at home should be fairly simple. Dried soups travel well for camping, and dried vegetables. I'm a fan of Bear Creek Soup, which works well in a dutch oven, but is designed to be made on a stove. That should work on your propane grill if you pack along a soup pan... I've also made Miso soup, egg drop soup, and quite a few variations of stew and chili in the dutch oven. I would guess that you'll need to cook things a bit longer on a propane grill than you would at home or on an open fire, but it is essentually the same thing. Pan + food + fire... If you have a big enough kitchen, I would suggest setting your grill up every so often to practice cooking different dishes on it. That will give you a better idea of the capabilities of your unit. Armed with that knowledge, you'll be cooking 7 course meals in no time! -SD-

Make these ahead of time, and take along

Six Week Bran Muffins

1 (15oz.) box Raisin Bran
1 C. melted butter or oil
1 1/2 C. sugar (more or less depending on your sweet tooth)
4 eggs, beaten
1 qt. buttermilk
5 C. flour
5 t. soda
2 t. salt
Extra raisins

Mix Raisin Bran, sugar, flour, soda, salt and extra raisins in a large bowl. Add eggs, butter or oil and butter milk and mix well by hand.

Fill greased muffin pans 2/3 full. Bake at 375-400° F. for 15-20 minutes or until brown. Batter will keep for six weeks in the refrigerator.

Answer 4

My favorite, easy campfire breakfast=

Put scoops of unsweetened instant oatmeal in ziplock bags, add as much brown sugar as you like, nuts (I use walnuts or almonds), dried fruit (craisens are great), and cinnamon. All you have to do is boil water and mix the oatmeal in a plastic bowl. Also, you can carry the dried fruit and nuts in a separate bag and have them handy as a snack on the trail. A really heart no-cook breakfast= peanut butter on whole wheat bread (the sandwiches travel pretty well).

Answer 5

M&S, tesco, and sainsburys all do a breakfast in a packet, sounds a bit gross, but, it's basically, potatoes, egg, bacon, sausage, in a vacuum pack, you sling it on you trangia pan and let it sizzle, they're long life and dont really require refridgeration, and take up virtually no room in your back pack if you take them out of thier boxes, usually found around the tinned food isles, or just ask, often called breakfast hash.

Answer 6

Go to the grocery store and see if you can find pancake mix that calls for water only. It is light and tasty... of course you need a frying pan but. Other than that, go to a hiking and backpacking store and get some dehydrated food. It too is lightweight, tasty, keeps for a long time, and usually rewuires only adding boiled water to prepare. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 7

From my experience it's best to go for dehydrated foods, pasta, mashed potato, milk, eggs etc. Get foods that are capable of being prepared in one frying pan or pot. That way you only carry the one pot or frying pan. Avoid tins like the plague. They send the weight of your pack through the roof.

Answer 8

You can still have your eggs and bacon, but with dried eggs, only takes a minute to reconstitute but of course they are scrambled. Tomato, sausage and mushrooms and black pudding are all easy to carry, so take your choice and Hi DE Hi!!!

Answer 9

if you have a camping stove, then you could get some "long life bacon brunch" from Sainsburys it comes in a foil packet and keeps for ages, its a potato, bacon & onion dish. usually found in the dried foods section. they do one that has egg in it too called breakfast saute.

Answer 10

you can buy the type of tortillas that don't need refrigeration...and some peanut butter...heat your tortilla on the camp fire then spread your peanut butter on it....you get lots of protein and high energy....you can also get precooked bacon in packages that do not require refrigeration...and put that on the tortillas.....you could also take beef jerky and rehydrate it in some water and add some cornstarch or flour and make a slop (gravy) to dip your tortillas in...
