My family LOVES camping and it has become a tradition that we all look forward to during the summer. We all enjoy spending time together as a family in a tent with huge bonfires, tasty food, and funny jokes, some funnier than others. 😉
Each summer, I try to think of creative recipes that my kids will enjoy with minimal ingredients that are an easy campfire or RV meals.
This year, I created an Egg and Cheese McMuffin that is simple and delicious. Plus, it is mess-free - what is better than that?!
Make it a Sausage, Egg and Cheese McMuffin by adding a turkey, chicken or pork sausage patty.
A few years ago, I decided that I was going to start making meals at home before we left for our trip because I hated missing out on all the fun. If you are like me, then making these Egg McMuffins in the oven and packing in a cooler is the way to go.

TIPS FOR CAMPING
- HAVE A PLAN - know the length of the trip, location of the campsite and the amenities available so you can prepare
- PREMAKE MEALS - you will thank me when you are at the campsite because having everything prepped and ready to go allows you to spend more time with your family and friends.
- PRACTICE FOOD SAFETY - keep in mind that perishable food cannot be kept out in weather >90°F for more than one hour and in mild weather for more than two hours or the food will need to be thrown out
- PACK SUPPLIES - before you leave think about the supplies like can openers, utensils, plates, cookware, etc.
- MAKE A CAMPING CHECKLIST - this list will be your safety net to ensure you pack everything you need. Need help writing this list? Check out this Family Camping Checklist to get you started.

I precooked the eggs, wrapped it all in foil, then heated over the fire. So good!
