Those who have camped in the cold know better than anybody the value of a hot, satisfying lunch. However, it might be challenging to prepare and cook meals while snow is falling. Because of the constraints on your time and money, simple, fast recipes are your best bet.
These easy-to-make, nutritious winter camping meals won’t skimp on flavor or coziness, even though they’re a cinch to throw together.
Hot Ramen Noodle Soup in a Mug
Required Items
Noodles (buckwheat soba or other ramen variety)—1/2 cup
4 pcs. Shiitake mushrooms, dried
Ground beef, dehydrated, 1/2 cup
Choose 1/2 cup of your favorite freeze-dried vegetables.
1.5 teaspoons of tamari
Sriracha, 1 teaspoon
1 tsp of toasted sesame oil
Adequate salting
To save time at the camping, pack all of your food items at home before you go. Put the soy sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil in a jar and shake it up at home. Separately seal the ziploc bags containing the noodles, mushrooms, pork, and veggies.
At the campground, fill the vessel with two glasses of water and get ready to cook. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then add the noodles, mushrooms, and veggies. Noodles need around 5 minutes in the oven to get soft. Combine the ground beef with the sauce, then turn off the stove.
Wait a few minutes for it to cool down before eating.
Vegan Chili Cooked Over a Campfire
Required Items
Black beans, about 1 3/4 cups
Diced tomatoes and kidney beans, to a ratio of 1 3/4 cups
1 can of chipotle chiles, deseeded and chopped
1 can ( twelve oz) beer
Sliced Onion (One)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp of dried minced garlic
Cumin, one teaspoon
1 small avocado, peeled and sliced (for garnish)
Cheese (as an additive)
Adequate salting
For about 5 minutes, or until soft, sauté the onion in the oil in a saucepan over a bonfire or grill. Combine the beer, tomatoes, black beans, and kidney beans. Add some garlic powder & cumin to taste. Put in as many chipotle peppers as you want.
For best results, simmer the chili for 20–25 minutes. Turn off heat when the food is done. Sprinkle some cheese and avocado slices on top. If it needs salt, add it.
Warm food is preferred.
