Make-Ahead Camping Meals
My number one tip when planning your camping menu? Make-ahead anything that you can! This helps to make sure you spend your time making memories vs prepping food. Here are the top make-ahead camping recipes on my site according to readers:
- Camping Breakfast Burrito – Step by step instructions walk you through how easy it is to make these burritos in advance. We freeze ours and heat them on warm coals when we’re ready to enjoy.
- Campfire Sangria – I couldn’t pass up sharing a camping cocktail! We make a large batch of this sangria in jars and pack them inside of an ice chest. Quick grab when you want something sweet to drink.
- Camping Breakfast Sandwich – Like the breakfast burritos, these can be made in advance and frozen! Heat them up on the campfire, grill, or oven for a super simple and filling breakfast.
- Campfire Roast Beef Sandwich – The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any lunchmeat! We like roast beef and American cheese. It’s a lot like that Arby’s sandwich everyone loves.
- Make-Ahead Pasta Salad – The ultimate side or snack! This pasta salad is loaded with flavor and vegetables. That means you will feel less guilty eating giant spoonful’s throughout your days.
