Potato Bowls with a Twist<\/h2>\n
I love potatoes in every shape and form known to humankind, which is why bringing some whenever I go camping is a must. Since everybody loves potatoes, there\u2019s really no limit to how you can prepare them and your camp buddies will be delighted. You can go for a classic option of poking potatoes all over with a fork, smearing butter all over them generously, wrapping them tightly in aluminum foil and burying them in hot coals. They should be ready to eat in about an hour and you can serve them up with some salt and butter or you can make it more interesting with a delicious twist.<\/p>\n
Cut off the top of the potato and with a spoon take out the middle so that you create a bowl and do so with every potato (make sure you buy big ones). Put a bit of butter into each bowl, break an egg into it and top it all off with some bacon and cheese. Set it over your fire and let it cook until you see the egg is done. Serve and observe others enjoy the goodness you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n
Hot Chocolate for Everyone!<\/h2>\n

You just can\u2019t go camping without drinking hot chocolate in the middle of the night, it would be blasphemy. That\u2019s why it would be wise to bring plenty of hot chocolate mix<\/a> with you because people will always want more of it. When you get settled in your camp and the fire is crackling, put a grate over your campfire and warm your milk. Add your mix immediately and let your hot chocolate get thicker and warmer, but don\u2019t get it to boil. After that, you\u2019re free to pour generous amounts of chocolaty deliciousness into cups, top it with a mountain of mini marshmallows and take a sip. Chances are you will taste perfection.<\/p>\n This is another hit for me because it\u2019s ridiculously easy to make and you can prepare it at home, just so that you can reheat it once you set up your campsite. It might not be the healthiest of meals, and you\u2019ll probably need to drink a lot of fresh water<\/a> afterward, but hell, it\u2019s worth it. You don\u2019t have to do it from scratch either, you can pre-cook the pasta at home, mix it up with some Alfredo sauce and just enough cheese so that it doesn\u2019t get dry and icky. Put your half-made mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese into aluminum pie tins and pack them as tightly as you can. When you get to your campsite and everybody\u2019s ready for some dinner, just whip out the tins, put a lot of cheese on top and let your mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese get all warm, melted and gooey. It\u2019s safe to say that most people would be happy with this meal anytime, especially when they spend a whole day in nature and are famished.<\/p>\n We all know how s\u2019mores have an irreplaceable spot in every camping experience, but we also know how messy they can be. This hack with using waffle cones instead of graham crackers I\u2019ve picked up a couple of years ago and I can honestly say I love it, though it\u2019s quite addictive. The process here is quite simple \u2013 have your cones, marshmallows and chocolate chips at the ready as the time for dessert approaches and then simply fill up the cone with all the goodies. After that, wrap the cones in aluminum foil and let them sit on a grate over the fire for up to ten minutes. In that time, the contents of the cones will melt and hot, so that you can eat them like a hot ice cream, just be careful not to get burned.<\/p>\n Camping is an excellent time to unwind on every level<\/a>, not worry about everyday troubles, calorie counting or the bills. Making good hearty food will make your camping memories even better and you\u2019ll always want to come back for more. \u2013 Harris Norman<\/strong><\/p>\n Who doesn\u2019t like camping, honestly? I mean, what\u2019s not to like \u2013 open skies, friends, and family, a campfire, lots of delicious food and good times will happen. If you like spending time in nature then you will take a chance to go to camping whenever one arises because there\u2019s nothing quite like the feeling…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cooking"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":14,"label":"Cooking"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Hot-Meals-for-Chilly-Camping-1024x536.png",1024,536,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Paul Turner","author_link":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/author\/paul\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":14,"name":"Cooking","slug":"cooking","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":14,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":7,"count":6,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":14,"category_count":6,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Cooking","category_nicename":"cooking","category_parent":7}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=935"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3875,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935\/revisions\/3875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/takeoutdoors.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Camping Mac \u2019n\u2019 Cheese<\/h2>\n
