Our camp cooking essentials:

• A Pie Iron Camp Cooker makes cooking over the open fire super easy. Check out these 20+ Pie Iron Recipe Ideas for tons of camp cooker inspiration! Or visit my how to use a pie iron post for tips.
• Foil Pie Plates make tinfoil packet meals even easier with the sturdy base that they provide.
• These Grilling Bags that I recently found are amazing! Simply add all of your ingredients to the bag at home then throw it on the campfire or grill when camping in the great outdoors. Avoid the grill bags with plastic windows, they melt.
• We love these BBQ Cooking Gloves because they make handling campfire food a whole lot safer!

I love Pie Irons for cooking while camping. We also call them camp cookers that are essentially a cast iron sandwich maker that you can heat over the open fire.

We use this tool year round and it works like a charm over the propane fire as well (whenever there is a fire ban in place). You can purchase a Pie Iron straight from Amazon or find them at Canadian Tire or other outdoor specialty stores.

For this simple camping recipe you will need:

Ingredients:

• Peanut butter
• Jam
• Loaf of sliced bead
• Non-stick cooking spray (optional)

How to make pie iron peanut butter & jam:

• Spray the interior of the pie iron with non stick spray.
• Layer 1 piece of bread, slather it with peanut butter and jam and add another piece of bread on top.
• Close and latch the pie iron.
• Cook over the fire, opening the iron to check progress periodically.
• Cook for approximately 5 mins per side depending on how hot the fire is.

Tips for cooking with a camp cooker:

• When cooking with a camp cooker, begin by applying non stick cooking spray or oil to the inside of both cooking plates. This step is important so that your delicious meal doesn’t stick to the plates and burn.
• Place your recipe ingredients into the cooker before closing and latching it.
• Cook the recipe over an open fire. We recommend placing the cooker over the fire for two minutes before unlatching, checking for doneness and flipping the cooker over to cook the other side.
• Use caution when handling both the metal latch and handles as they can become hot while cooking.

Camping meal preparation:

• Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
• Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
• Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers.These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
• Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size freezer bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
• Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of our favorites.
• Use my blank printable meal plan or camping meal plans to help organize your next trip.
