One-Pot Meals

One of the easiest foods to prep and prepare on a camping trip is one-pot meals. They’re simple and delicious, making clean-up a breeze (seriously, who wants to wash a lot of dishes under the stars?). Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a newbie adventurer, these single-pot wonders will fuel your fun with minimal fuss.

Here’s a recipe for those who want something hearty and savory:

Chili Mac & Cheese

Combine pre-cooked ground beef, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, taco seasoning, and your favorite macaroni.
Top with a generous amount of cheese and let it melt to gooey perfection.

To master the one-pot meals, you should chop your ingredients into smaller sizes to ensure even cooking and avoid burning. It’s also good to use pre-cooked meats and vegetables to save you time and effort during your camp.

If you are looking for something to elevate your cooking meals, Overland Kings offers a wide range of kitchen gear, including skillet pans and oven stoves for hassle-free cooking.

Wraps and Dips

Wraps and dips are a camping dream team. It’s portable, customizable, and perfect for sharing around the campfire.

These don’t always need to be your typical American or Mexican wraps. You can put a Filipino twist to it. Here are some favorites you can try:

Adobo Wraps. Just shred some adobo pork belly and toss with chopped spring onions, pickled peppers, and a drizzle of adobo sauce. Wrap it all up in soft flour tortillas.
Longganisa Wraps. Fry up some longganisa sausages until they are crispy. Then slice them up and pair them with shredded cabbage, pickled carrots, and a generous spread of banana ketchup. Roll it all together for a sweet and savory explosion.

You can even bring out your inner Master chef by making your own Chipotle Ranch. All you need to do is mix ranch dressing with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for a creamy and smoky dip that satisfies any craving. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your fillings and dips because the possibilities are endless.

Foil Pocket Portions

To those who don’t like prep and cooking to get too messy, foil packets are your best friend. They’re versatile, mess-free, and perfect for whipping up delicious and satisfying meals over a campfire, grill, or even in your oven.

For meat and veggie lovers, one convenient food for your camping trip is teriyaki beef & broccoli. Simply marinate thinly sliced beef in teriyaki sauce. Wrap with broccoli florets and red bell pepper strips. Cook until the beef is tender, and the vegetables are crisp-tender.

After your hearty meal, you can try this sweet treat. Combine sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Top with a crumble made from rolled oats, flour, and butter. Wrap in foil and bake until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.

The Overland Kings Camp Fire BBQ Plate gives you the convenience of cooking your foil packets. Its ideal thickness ensures quick heating, while the dual option of the grill and hot plate caters to your every craving.

Campfire Classics

It’s not a camping trip without some classics in the mix. Yes, we’re talking about your hotdogs and burgers. You can still get creative with them by adding toppings like caramelized onions, jalapenos, and homemade sauces. Bonus points for veggie or gourmet burgers.

Of course, if there are undisputed kings there will always be the ultimate campfire treat: S’mores. You can elevate the experience with different types of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. Try adding Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit jams for a twist.

With these campfire classics, you’re sure to create memories that last long after the embers fade.

Instant Drink

When camping, sometimes you crave a quick and convenient beverage but want something more exciting than plain water. Instant drinks can be lifesavers in these situations.

Who doesn’t love a warm, comforting mug of hot chocolate by the fire? Instant mixes come in classic, gourmet, and even sugar-free options. Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or even a shot of liquor for a twist.

Instant Coffee, is another staple for many campers. With a variety of classic brews, flavored varieties, or even single-serve packets for ease. Pair it with creamer, sugar, or even spices like cinnamon for a personalized touch.

Extra tip: Pack a vacuum flask to keep your hot drinks warm or cold drinks refreshing for longer. Get creative and combine different instant drinks or add spices and fruits for personalized flavor combinations.
