2. Southwest Sausage Skillet Supper

This one-dish meal will make cooking easy and clean up a breeze. With rice, hearty veggies, your favorite Eckrich Smoked Sausage and loads of cheddar cheese, the Southwest Sausage Skillet Supper is sure to satisfy your hungry campers.

Pro Tip: While your cast iron skillet is still hot, scrape off any food remnants. When the pan is still warm but cool to touch, use a paper towel to clean the pan with oil and kosher salt. Avoid using soap or harsh scrubs on cast iron skillets, or you may lose the pan’s seasoning that you’ve worked so hard to develop!

Pro Tip: Be sure to use a fire pit, fire ring, grill or fireplace for your campfire – especially when visiting a campground. This will contain the fire, keeping your family and the woods safe. Or you can create a ring out of larger rocks to create a fire pit. Get everyone in on the search for the best rocks!

Sausage and Pepper Hoagie

6. Grilled Smoked Sausage and Pepper Hoagies

The great outdoors calls for great flavor. With bell peppers, red onion, spicy barbecue sauce and Eckrich Smoked Sausage, your campfire will be lit up with smiling faces after eating this flavorful sandwich.

Pro Tip: Make sure to extinguish your fire with water, and keep some on hand in case it gets unexpectedly out of control. And don’t leave your campfire until it’s cool. Hold the back of your hand near the ashes. Still feel some heat? Don’t leave just yet. Add water and stir the embers until it’s cool. See more campfire safety tips from the USDA Forest Service.
