Comfort food favorites with a campsite twist
Who says you can't have your favorite comfort foods while camping? With just a few adjustments and some clever packing, you can enjoy things like mac and cheese, pizza, and even lasagna at the campsite. Pack pre-cooked pasta, a jar of sauce, and some cheese for an easy mac and cheese. Use tortillas as a base for pizza and layer on toppings before cooking over the fire. For lasagna, use no-boil noodles and layer with meat, sauce, and cheese in a Dutch oven.
Campfire cooking warms the stomach and the soul, making winter camping truly unforgettable.
Packable ingredients for easy trailside meals
When it comes to packing ingredients for your winter camping meals, look for items that are easy to transport and can withstand the cold weather. Trail mix, dried fruits, nuts, and jerky make for great snacks or trailside meals. Canned goods like soup, beans, and tuna are also convenient and versatile options. And don't forget to pack some hot cocoa mix to warm you up after a day of winter adventuring.
