Anyone else's camping trips just turn into dad cooking competition?

2w ago1 min read

We go camping to relax right? Wrong. Every trip with the buddies turns into who can make the best campfire meal. Last weekend I did a cast iron skillet breakfast with bacon, eggs, hash browns and fresh biscuits. Derek brought his whole spice rack and made some kind of chicken situation. Nobody slept much because we were all arguing about cooking techniques until midnight. The kids didn't even care, they just wanted hot dogs. But honestly those meals hit different outside. Anyone got favorite camp recipes?

Cast iron skillet is the way to go! I bring mine on every trip and my kids actually get excited about camping meals now. The competition part keeps it fun, honestly beats just reheating frozen stuff.

That sounds amazing honestly. I haven't gotten my newborn to a camping trip yet but this makes me want to start planning it. Do you bring the cast iron in a special bag or just toss it in?

Wait so who actually won? And more importantly what was the winning meal? I need to know what the gold standard camping dad cook is doing.

This is 100% what happens with my crew too. Suddenly nobody wants to just sit around the fire. Everyone's got to prove they're the best at cooking on a grate. It gets weirdly competitive.

The best part is how seriously everyone takes this. You're literally cooking over a fire and guys are talking about seasoning ratios and cook times like they're competing on a cooking show.
