Campfire – Mac N Cheese
I’ve been on the hunt for yummy but easy meals at camp!
Last year i found a recipe for mac n cheese in mini tins that you toss in the fire at camp!
I love that they are single serving and kind of customizeable! I found the mini tins on amazon and am tickled pink! I also make them for the hubby to eat at home! In honor of waste not want no i do put them in the dishwasher at home, so we can use them more than once!

If you don’t have Buy Me a Pie! app installed you’ll see the list with ingredients right after downloading it
Instructions
- If using sausages or hot links, cut into small pieces and cook up on the stove top
- Once almost cooked, drain on a papertowel
- If using vegetables - cook in the left over grease (just do it, it's yummy)
- I use wheat free pasta - brown rice, chickpea flour etc. Since it takes a very short amount of time to cook, i get everything ready, addins, cheeses measured etc. Then start the pasta.
- Cook pasta as directed
- Spray pie tins with cooking spray
- Stir alfredo sauce into the cooked pasta with the three cheeses and enough milk to keep things loosey goosey. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Divide between 3 or 4 mini aluminum pie tins
- Spray one side of aluminum foil with more nonstick cooking spray and cover each individual mac and cheese portion, sprayed side down, facing the food.
- Seal well.
- Put in the freezer.
Heading camping
- I use my frozen mac n cheese as "ice" in the cooler for day 1
- Build your fire and when you have coals, place your mac n cheese in the coals. We like a little crispy, if you just want it warm, put in on the grate over the fire
Notes
- You can also cook these in the oven.
- From frozen - 350 for 20 min, remove foil, cook 10-20 min more until bubbly and cooked through.
- This recipe is very versatile! Add in what you like with your mac n cheese or just keep it plain!
- Hubby doesn't like tomatoes, but i think diced tomatoes drained, could amazing mixed in during the cheese phase!
