I want to share some easy dinner recipes for your next camping trip that you can make with a pound of ground beef and a skillet. All of these recipes use simple ingredients and have a ton of flavor. And using hamburger meat is cost effective too.

I don’t know about you, but give me comfort food beside a campfire, and I’m in heaven! The best way to cook a juicy burger in my opinion is over the campfire grill in a cast-iron pan.

Tips for cooking with cast iron:

When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking, as the surface of the iron will be hot.
Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, then rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
