23 Easy Griddle Recipes For Camping
Camping is all about embracing the great outdoors, and what better way to do that than by cooking delicious meals right at your campsite? While campfire cooking often brings to mind skewered hot dogs and marshmallows, there’s a versatile cooking tool that doesn’t get quite much attention: the griddle. These easy griddle recipes for camping will add a little extra variety to your camping menu.
Griddle Basics: What Is A Griddle & Why Do I Want One?
There’s a good chance you are here on purpose, looking for new ways to cook on your flat top or griddle, but just in case you did stumble here by accident, a griddle is a flat cooking surface that heats evenly, making it perfect for a variety of dishes.
Unlike traditional skillets or pans, griddles offer a larger cooking area, allowing you to prepare multiple items at once. This makes them ideal for camping, particularly if camping with a group or if you have a big family, where efficiency and simplicity are key.
Griddles can be made from cast iron, stainless steel, or non-stick materials and are designed to be used over campfires, portable stoves, or even propane grills. They’re incredibly versatile and capable of cooking everything from pancakes and bacon to stir-fries and steaks.
