1. Prepare the ingredients. Tip: cook and season the ground beef at home. Store in a large freezer bag for camping. This makes prep and clean up while camping easy!
2. Place ground beef, salsa and cheese in the skillet.
3. Cook over the fire until cheese is melted and the dish is heated completely. Tip: be sure to use oven mitts when handling the hot cast iron.
4. Top with fresh cilantro.

Tips for camping meal preparation:
- Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
- Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
- Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or pie irons. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
- Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
- Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Taco Salad recipes are some of my favorites.
