One Pot Meals for Camp Site Cooking

One potIf you love camping, then you probably also love cooking outside too.   Unfortunately, many of our home recipes don’t lend themselves to being cooked on the limited facilities you have when camping (unless there’s a camp kitchen available on the site).  Sol you need to be a little more creative when planning your camp site meals and one answer is to create one pot meals.

Basically, one pot camping meals can be made using a single piece of cookware instead of several pans for different foods.  In a one pot meal, you can cook all of your delicious ingredients together.

Reasons for cooking one pot meals

The key reasons for cooking one pot meals when camping include:

  • Less mess: one of the biggest advantages of a one pot meal is that you’ll have fewer dishes to clean up after the meal. This is a huge advantage when you’re cooking at a campsite without your usual dishwasher or sometimes even a sink.  And if you spend less time cleaning up after the meal, then you have more time to spend having fun with friends or family.
  • Timing: by cooking a meal in one pot, everything is ready at one go (and you don’t have to worry about trying to keep other dishes warm).
  • Cooking for a crowd: whether your cooking for two for a larger group of friends, your one pot meal can be scaled according to the size of your group (though you may need a bring a couple of different sized pots with you).
