5 Fun Recipes To Break in Your Pie Iron Over the Campfire

If you’re an avid camper, you probably feel that the typical array of meal options can get a little tired. A person can only eat so many burgers and hot dogs! Thankfully, we already have an arsenal of campfire recipes at the ready. From breakfast to late night snacks under the stars, your camping menu can be just as delicious as the ones made at home.

To get even more crafty, try using a pie iron on your next camping trip. The cast-iron tool is an easy way to form an impromptu oven and unlock new recipe opportunities like the ones we have curated here.

A bacon, egg and cheese encased in a crispy hashbrown sounds like the perfect breakfast to fuel your day of outdoor activities. Preheating the pie iron over a grill or campfire ensures that all the ingredients are seared together in this crispy, easy-to-eat potato pocket.

It may not look like a Hawaiian pizza, but this recipe is just as delicious and fun to make. The pineapple, ham, mozzarella and pizza sauce get encased between two pieces of dough, just like a savory s’more.

Roughing it doesn’t always mean you have to sacrifice decadence — at least if chocolate banana stuffed pancakes fall under that definition! Box pancake mix is extra convenient, and a chocolate bar of your choice easily makes this a must-try recipe.

While not your typical mozzarella sticks, a sausage pie iron can mimic them quite closely with limited ingredients. This recipe utilizes crescent dough and string cheese, with pizza sauce for dipping.
