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.
