If you love the comfort feels you get from home-cooked biscuits, try using canned biscuit dough for camp meals. Tubes of ready-made biscuit dough are easy to store in your cooler and make for a great addition to any camp meal, even if you’re a beginner! Here are just five great options for using canned biscuit dough we think you’ll devour!
1. Breakfast Sandwiches
Make easy breakfast sandwiches by cooking your biscuits, splitting them in half, and topping them with bacon and eggs. This makes a hearty meal that you can eat on the trail. If you have a muffin tin, you can cook your eggs in the other holes so you have perfectly proportioned layers in your sandwiches!
2. Chicken Pot Pie
When thinking of ways to use biscuit dough for camp meals, think beyond breakfast. You can use canned biscuits to make a tasty chicken pot pie for dinner. This simply delicious meal requires heating your favorite chicken stew in a cast iron pan, putting a layer of biscuit dough on top of the stew, and cooking it until the biscuit crust is golden and fluffy.
3. Cinnamon Monkey Bread
For a delicious evening treat, make a big batch of cinnamon monkey bread. Melt a stick of butter in a pre-warmed dutch oven. Cut your biscuits into bite size pieces and add them to the dutch oven. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and sugar and stir well to coat everything. Place over the coals of your campfire and cook for 30 minutes. The dough will puff up noticeably when it’s finished.
4. Mini Pizzas
A muffin pan can make tasty individual pizzas with biscuit dough. Start by flattening a biscuit into each hole, topping them with sauce, cheese, and your choice of meats or veggies. Place a rack over the fire and cook until the cheese is melted and the biscuit dough starts to turn light brown.
5. Fruit Cobbler
Impress your family by making a campfire cobbler — a favorite campfire dessert. This biscuit dough for camp meals recipe just requires you to mix your favorite fruit with some sugar and cornstarch for the filling. Spoon the mixture into a buttered skillet, top with flattened biscuits, sprinkle with sugar, and cook for 50 minutes.
