We like to camp….a lot…which you can probably tell from how often I blog about it. Unfortunately, we get stuck in a rut when it comes to food. We usually eat well but I am a bit tired of having the same old thing every trip. My whole family loves egg dishes so when I happened across this recipe I knew I had a winner. Everyone loved it. My stepson, Will, ate a TON of it. It will definitely be on the future rotation!

Ooohhh…have fun. I’ve never been to Yosemite but I’ve heard it is amazing. If your fam likes eggs, they will love this. Leftovers are easily reheated on the grill too. Just put a piece on a piece of foil.
There couldn’t be anything better than this for camping. Wow!
This sounds delicious! May have to try it at home!

I think it would be awesome baked in the oven. Grilling it gives it a bit of smokey taste but baked would be good too.
we love to camp too and often eat the same things too. i think its because i know what to pack for it all and that way i don’t forget anything. This looks like it could be somewhat prepared at home and just transferred for cooking so this is going on my list for july. Thanks for sharing and I am really enjoying your blog. Im a newbie.
The food looks great, but it is more suitable for a picnic. How do you expect to pack all that into the back country? Camping food needs to be light and packable, particularly if you are on a three or four day hike or and 8 day canoe trip, which is a typical camping trip.
Hi Dan! Thanks for stopping by! My site is focussed on families with small children. Many of my readers either tent (from their car) or RV camp. Most do not do multi-day day hikes to their campsites. You are totally right that back country camping requires a different requirement for food both in simplicity and portability. Back country campers weren’t really my audience. Definitely give the casserole a try sometime for a picnic if you’d like. I’ve had many great comments from campers saying they love it.
