Lunch

Fun Fueling Through The Day

Campfire Cooking Recipes

Ready to fuel up to continue your day of adventure? Check out these quick and easy lunch campfire cooking recipes. Make melty sandwiches in a grill basket. Sear the perfect hamburger on a cast iron skillet. And grill creamy corn on the cob over an open fire.

Often, lunch for us is a granola bar or other quick snack to keep us going through our travels. But when we have the luxury of a lazy day at the campground, it’s time to pull out our handy grilling baskets, tinfoil, and forks and whip up some simple, tasty meals over the campfire. Allow me to recommend the Class in the Campground Prosciutto Mozzarella Sandwich, it is a personal favorite.

Seafood Recipes

Seafood is often an overly complicated protein to cook when camping, especially when we are talking about lunch, where we are looking for a midday boost. That said, easy options like canned tuna, salmon, and crab make for simple seafood options that are easy to whip up. We often travel with several cans of tuna and other seafood options. It’s a convenient fallback when you have run out of fresh alternatives.

The Road Tripper’s Tuna Melt is a simple and flexible meal for the nomad. Most of the ingredients do not need any chilling to preserve and you can eat it hot or cold (though it wouldn't be a melt then)

Pork Lunch Recipes

Bacon, ham, and prosciutto are some of our go-to pork products for easy and tasty lunch recipes at the campground. Pick your favorite out of our collection of recipes and stoke up the campfire.

Nothing like a toasted Glamper’s Bacon Brie Apricot Toasted Sandwich for an easy and gratifying meal.

Poultry Recipes

Lunch is the ideal meal for clearing out leftovers from last night’s dinner and sandwich meats. If you are operating out of a cooler, the expiry date on your poultry is sped up. So, prioritize leftover poultry rather than letting it languish in the cooler. With the amount of chicken and turkey we often have around, that means we get creative with our lunch choices.

Once we have some bacon on the club sandwich, we know we have a legit meal on our hands. That's why we love the Camper’s Club Sandwich.
