Step 1
An easy favorite with kids: hot dogs and hamburgers. Make the patties beforehand and keep in a cooler until ready to grill. (See eHow’s “How to Grill Hamburgers and Hot Dogs” for details.)
-
Step 2
If you have a griddle or pan, try grilled cheese (if backpacking, opt for quesadillas because tortillas won’t get squished in your pack).
-
Step 3
Likewise, tortillas with peanut butter and honey are a squish-proof alternative to traditional PB&J sandwiches.
-
Step 4
Foil packets let kids choose their own ingredients. Fill packets with your favorite meat, potatoes and veggies (or not). Add a little seasoning and butter or olive oil and cook over the fire.
-
Step 5
Individual pizzas are an easy option. Use pita bread as crust, then add sauce, cheese and toppings. You can heat them in a Dutch oven or over a foil-covered grill.
-
Step 6
Morning favorites include pancakes and biscuits with gravy. Scrambled eggs and bacon are easy to cook outside.
-
Step 7
For snack time, pack fruit that doesn’t bruise easily such as apples, grapes or watermelon. Granola and dried fruit snacks are easy to carry on hikes.

Step 8
And what’s a campout without s’mores? For tips on making this unforgettable classic, see the eHow “How to Make S’Mores.”
