Tips & tricks

  • Many of these pie iron recipes will work with refrigerated crescent roll dough, biscuits, flaky rolls, or bread slices. Choose what you like best.
  • Make a list of all the ingredients needed for all of your camping meals. This will be your packing list. It also makes it much easier to see exactly what groceries you need to buy and to make up a shopping list.
  • When it comes to camping meals, do as much food prep as you can at home. This is an easy way to save time and effort on cleanup when you don’t have quick access to hot water.
  • Using a double pie iron really speeds up the process of cooking. It is one of my favorite tools to have with us while camping.
  • Campfire cooking is best done over hot coals, rather than an open flame. It is easier to get a more even heat that way.

Ingredients to have on hand

  • Bread dough
  • Refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Refrigerated pizza dough
  • Refrigerated cinnamon rolls
  • Refrigerated biscuits
  • Refrigerated flaky rolls
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Ham slices, sliced roast beef or turkey
  • Mozzarella and cheddar cheese, both shredded and sliced
  • Pie filling, cherry & blueberry are always favorites!
  • Mini marshmallows are helpful to have instead of just regular
  • Condiments like peanut butter, jam, and syrup
