RVing
Happy Camper Blog
Hungry? Of
course you are. But what can you cook while camping and RVing? Keep it simple
with these make ahead and reheat
recipes!
Breakfast
Burritos
- Fill a large
flour tortilla with your favorite ingredients: Scrambled eggs, diced
potatoes, sausage, bacon, ham, onions, peppers, pork, green chili, and cheese
– whatever you love. - Roll them up and wrap them
individually in aluminum foil. Freeze 6-8 burritos together in a gallon zip
top bag for easy storage and packing. - Warm up your
burritos, still wrapped in aluminum, in your oven, on your stovetop in a pan
with a lid, or on your grill. - Turn them frequently to
evenly warm them up and crisp them.
Breakfast
Sandwiches
- Cut your favorite
style English muffin or bagel in half. - Top the bottom
half with scrambled eggs or a fully cooked poached egg, Canadian bacon,
sausage patties and your favorite cheese. - Add the top
half to make a ‘sandwich,” wrap each one in aluminum foil and freeze 6-8
individual servings in a gallon zip top bag for easy storage and
packing. - Heat up your aluminum-wrapped sandwiches in the
oven, on the stovetop, in a pan with a lid or on your
grill. - Turn them frequently to evenly warm them
up.
Chicken
Pockets
- Take a large piece of
heavy-duty foil and place ¼ cup of precooked rice on it topped with one 6-8
oz chicken breast, seared on each side and pre-cooked to “almost
done.” - Add your favorite sliced veggies – peppers, onions,
mushrooms. - Close the aluminum over the top and sides, and
secure it with tightly rolled folds. - Freeze individual
servings together in a gallon zip top bag. - Warm your
aluminum-wrapped pockets in the oven, on the stovetop in a pan with a lid, or
on your grill. - Substitute any of your favorite meats for
the chicken breast for some
variety!
Easy Sliced
Beef
- At home, cook round, flank,
sirloin steak or even a whole pork loin to a pink center, searing each side
to lock in the juices. - Slice thin and place in a
disposable aluminum pan. - Add one can of Campbell’s French
Onion Soup and one can of water. - Cover tightly with
aluminum foil and freeze. - Warm the meat slowly in your
oven or on your grill. - Compliment it with your favorite
sides. - This method also works great for BBQ beef, pulled
pork, and even meatballs and
sauce.
Chicken Green Chile
Casserole
- Brown 4 chicken breasts
in a stove top pan and cook thoroughly. - Cut each breast
into ½ inch cubes. - Drain a 14 oz can of whole green
chilies, and cut the chilies into large chunks. - Coarsely
chop ½ of a medium onion. - Combine all ingredients
together with one can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup and ½ can of
water. - Place two flour tortillas on the bottom of a
disposable aluminum pan, layer 1/3 of the chicken chili mixture, then top
with shredded cheddar cheese. - Repeat layering until
you’ve completed three layers of the chicken mixture, ending with the cheese
layer. - Cover with aluminum foil and seal tightly and
freeze. - Heat the casserole in your
oven. - For easy, individual servings of this great dish,
you can prepare it slightly differently but get the same great taste. Roll
about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and cheese in a flour tortilla and wrap
it up in aluminum foil. Freeze individual servings, and then warm them in
your oven, on the stovetop or on your
grill.
Mushroom Pork
Chops
- Dust six thinly sliced
boneless pork chops in flour, then brown them over medium heat until
thoroughly cooked. - Place cooked chops in a disposable
aluminum pan, top them with 1/2 of a medium onion, thinly sliced, and add ¼
lb sliced mushrooms. - Pour in a can of Campbell’s Golden
Mushroom Soup and one can of water. - Cover with aluminum
foil, seal tightly and freeze. - Heat in oven until tender,
or warm the pork chops over the grill. Just be sure to stir the mixture frequently
to avoid burning the
bottom.
Marinated
Meats
- Trim chicken breasts to
portion sizes or cut pork, beef or chicken into 1-inch
chunks. - Cover them with your favorite marinade, then
freeze in a zip top bag for storage. - Frozen servings will
help keep your foods cold while you’re traveling, and as they defrost, the
meat will naturally marinate inside the bag. - Add fresh
cut peppers, onions, and mushrooms to presoaked wooden skewers to make great
tasting kabobs. - Zip top bag marinating also works great
for fish fillets and shrimp.
