We just enjoyed an awesome weekend of camping and had to share some of the food we made (I think food tastes the best when camping!). I like easy, yummy, options for camping- not a lot of prep or clean up... One night we made corn on the cob and foiled potatoes to go with mac and cheese (made it on the propane burner) and hot dogs. Here's what I do for the veggies:
Corn on the Cob
Soak the entire husks (hairs and all) about 20-30 minutes in water while the fire is being prepared. Lay right on the grill and as the corn cooks, the hairs will pretty much burn away, and the husks will be easy to peel off when done. Enjoy with butter/pepper/salt and parmesan cheese! Really yummy!
Foiled Potatoes
Using baby new potatoes or small red skin potatoes, place the potato horizontally and slice (leaving skins on) vertically (making small 'chips'... not cubes) and try to cut fairly thin. Spray a sheet of foil heavily with non-stick spray, then lay on potatoes and fill a few dabs of butter. Top with either salt and pepper, or my favorite Morton's Nature Seasoning. Close foil packet up and place potatoes on the grill. The potatoes will take about 20 minutes (if sliced thin) to cook, but keep checking so they don't burn to the foil. Really easy too!
I love these because they are easy and hardly any clean up. We cook both on the grill at home, too. What are some of your favorite camping foods?! Naturally... s'mores!
