Perfect Cheesesteak Recipe While Camping

We normally just do sandwiches and snacks for lunches since so much is put into breakfast and dinners. However if you feel like going a bit gourmet for lunch, I’ve made this sandwich recipe a thousand times and it’s easy enough to do in the wild and perfect after a long hike that works up your appetite.

Ingredients –

  • 2 Bell peppers – red, green, orange – whatever you feel like – sliced
  • 1 White onion, sliced
  • Handful of Mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. of deli roast beef, sliced
  • Italian dressing (fat free also works if you want to cut some calories)
  • 1 package of French rolls
  • Provolone cheese, sliced
  • Pepper Jack cheese, sliced

**One note, I would use a propane grill for this. We don’t normally make a fire for lunch because it’s so hot but you could essentially do these same steps over a campfire

Directions –

  1. Slice up the onion, bell peppers and mushrooms (if using)

  1. Heat a little bit of oil to a pan
  2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers and heat under tender

  1. Add mushrooms and roast beef to pan until mushrooms are tender
  2. Dress each side of bread with Italian dressing
  3. Arrange sandwiches with meat, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms
  4. Top each with a slice of provolone and a slice of pepper jack
  5. Place sandwiches on grill on low heat and close – if you were doing on a campfire, I would place them in a cast iron and cover with foil to keep the heat in
  6. Heat just a couple of minutes until cheese has melted
  7. Serve up with chips and/or salad!
