Three Easy and Delicious Camping Meals

Camping is a favorite summertime activity for everyone who loves the outdoors. Sometimes preparing all of the equipment and packing all of the gear leaves little time to prepare the food. Often times this means a lot of hot dogs and sandwiches. Here are three easy and delicious meals that you can prepare ahead of time and will make this summer's camping trip a hit with the whole family.
1. Tin Foil Dinners: A favorite among boy scouts, the tin foil dinner is a classic camping dinner that is easy and delicious. Start with baby carrots, potatoes cut into 1" squares, onions, and green beans. Place a generous portion of vegetables on a large square of heavy duty aluminum foil. Add one hamburger patty, salt, pepper, seasoning and wrap the tin foil up securely. These meals will keep for a couple of days in a cooler and when you're ready to eat just throw them in the fire or on the grill. Cook until hamburger is brown throughout and enjoy. These simple dinners are amazingly flavorful and filling. You can even let the kids choose their favorite ingredients ahead of time and make sure everyone gets exactly what they want. The best part of tin foil dinners is that you can eat them right out of the foil and then throw it away when finished. Easy to make and easy to clean up.
2. Tin Foil Pizza Sandwiches: The even easier relative of the classic tin foil dinner. Who doesn't love pizza and what better place to enjoy your favorite pie than the camp ground. Just order your favorite pizza, let it cool, take two pieces and place the cheese sides together, crust side out. Take your pizza sandwich, wrap in tin foil, and you're done. Throw in the fire or on the grill and heat until the cheese melts. No utensils or plates necessary, what could be easier than that.
3. First Night Fish: My personal favorite, and perfect for anyone who loves salmon. Take one large salmon fillet and lay skin side down on a piece of heavy duty tin foil. Make sure the foil is large enough to wrap around the fillet completely. Spread butter over the top of the salmon, sprinkle with lemon pepper, dill, and lemon juice. Wrap the whole thing up and pack. You can then cook the salmon at medium heat on your grill until done. Goes great with a can of green beans and rolls. This meal is best served on the first night; the salmon fillet will take up some space in your cooler and won't keep well for more than a couple of days. The skin will stick to the tin foil when finished making this another easy to clean up meal.
Preparation is key to any successful camping trip. Make sure that you are prepared by planning all of your equipment and meals ahead of time. By making your meals at home you will save time and hassle at the camp site. These meals are not only delicious and easy to prepare, they are also very easy to clean up. The tin foil contains the mess and allows you to just throw out the trash when finished. So dazzle the whole family this summer with a new menu of delicious meals.
