With a day well-spent in the great outdoors, washing a mountain of dishes is probably the last thing on your mind. If planned properly, you’ll be able to save time, energy, water, and space by cooking one-pot meals. Best of all, these meals can be easily scaled up or down depending on how many people you’re cooking for AND leftovers can be stored and reheated in the same pot. If you want to throw in everything but the kitchen sink, check out some of our favourite one-pot camping recipes that are BIG in flavour and make for an easy clean up!
Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew)
If you’re looking for a delicious spicy and hearty meal, Budae Jjigae, translated to the Korean Army Stew, will hit the spot. This stew is a fusion dish that incorporates staples like Spam, cheese, instant noodles, and hot dogs into a Korean stew with kimchi. With up to 15 mins of prep time and 15 mins of cooking time, your dinner will be sorted in just 30 mins!
Start your day right with the bright and tasty Israeli dish called Shakshuka.
