    Hungry? Of
    course you are. But what can you cook while camping and RVing? Keep it simple
    with these make ahead and reheat
    recipes! 

    Breakfast
    Burritos

    • Fill a large
      flour tortilla with your favorite ingredients: Scrambled eggs, diced
      potatoes, sausage, bacon, ham, onions, peppers, pork, green chili, and cheese
      – whatever you love.
    • Roll them up and wrap them
      individually in aluminum foil. Freeze 6-8 burritos together in a gallon zip
      top bag for easy storage and packing.
    • Warm up your
      burritos, still wrapped in aluminum, in your oven, on your stovetop in a pan
      with a lid, or on your grill.
    • Turn them frequently to
      evenly warm them up and crisp them.

    Breakfast
    Sandwiches

    • Cut your favorite
      style English muffin or bagel in half.
    • Top the bottom
      half with scrambled eggs or a fully cooked poached egg, Canadian bacon,
      sausage patties and your favorite cheese.
    • Add the top
      half to make a ‘sandwich,” wrap each one in aluminum foil and freeze 6-8
      individual servings in a gallon zip top bag for easy storage and
      packing.
    • Heat up your aluminum-wrapped sandwiches in the
      oven, on the stovetop, in a pan with a lid or on your
      grill.
    • Turn them frequently to evenly warm them
      up.

    Chicken
    Pockets

    • Take a large piece of
      heavy-duty foil and place ¼ cup of precooked rice on it topped with one 6-8
      oz chicken breast, seared on each side and pre-cooked to “almost
      done.”
    • Add your favorite sliced veggies – peppers, onions,
      mushrooms.
    • Close the aluminum over the top and sides, and
      secure it with tightly rolled folds.
    • Freeze individual
      servings together in a gallon zip top bag.
    • Warm your
      aluminum-wrapped pockets in the oven, on the stovetop in a pan with a lid, or
      on your grill.
    • Substitute any of your favorite meats for
      the chicken breast for some
      variety!

    Easy Sliced
    Beef

    • At home, cook round, flank,
      sirloin steak or even a whole pork loin to a pink center, searing each side
      to lock in the juices.
    • Slice thin and place in a
      disposable aluminum pan.
    • Add one can of Campbell’s French
      Onion Soup and one can of water.
    • Cover tightly with
      aluminum foil and freeze.
    • Warm the meat slowly in your
      oven or on your grill.
    • Compliment it with your favorite
      sides.
    • This method also works great for BBQ beef, pulled
      pork, and even meatballs and
      sauce.

    Chicken Green Chile
    Casserole

    • Brown 4 chicken breasts
      in a stove top pan and cook thoroughly.
    • Cut each breast
      into ½ inch cubes.
    • Drain a 14 oz can of whole green
      chilies, and cut the chilies into large chunks.
    • Coarsely
      chop ½ of a medium onion.
    • Combine all ingredients
      together with one can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup and ½ can of
      water.
    • Place two flour tortillas on the bottom of a
      disposable aluminum pan, layer 1/3 of the chicken chili mixture, then top
      with shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Repeat layering until
      you’ve completed three layers of the chicken mixture, ending with the cheese
      layer.
    • Cover with aluminum foil and seal tightly and
      freeze.
    • Heat the casserole in your
      oven.
    • For easy, individual servings of this great dish,
      you can prepare it slightly differently but get the same great taste. Roll
      about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture and cheese in a flour tortilla and wrap
      it up in aluminum foil. Freeze individual servings, and then warm them in
      your oven, on the stovetop or on your
      grill.

    Mushroom Pork
    Chops

    • Dust six thinly sliced
      boneless pork chops in flour, then brown them over medium heat until
      thoroughly cooked.
    • Place cooked chops in a disposable
      aluminum pan, top them with 1/2 of a medium onion, thinly sliced, and add ¼
      lb sliced mushrooms.
    • Pour in a can of Campbell’s Golden
      Mushroom Soup and one can of water.
    • Cover with aluminum
      foil, seal tightly and freeze.
    • Heat in oven until tender,
      or warm the pork chops over the grill. Just be sure to stir the mixture frequently
      to avoid burning the
      bottom.

    Marinated
    Meats

    • Trim chicken breasts to
      portion sizes or cut pork, beef or chicken into 1-inch
      chunks.
    • Cover them with your favorite marinade, then
      freeze in a zip top bag for storage.
    • Frozen servings will
      help keep your foods cold while you’re traveling, and as they defrost, the
      meat will naturally marinate inside the bag.
    • Add fresh
      cut peppers, onions, and mushrooms to presoaked wooden skewers to make great
      tasting kabobs.
    • Zip top bag marinating also works great
      for fish fillets and shrimp.
