I love to make at least one pasta dish on a camping trip (see previous lasagna recipe) and what goes best with pasta? Garlic bread! It also just make a great snack or side dish for many meals. Warning – this garlic bread is highly addicting and I usually triple the portion you think normal people would eat when planning for the meal.
I think the first time I did this recipe while camping was at Mary Smith campground up near the town of Shasta. It’s a bit of a drive from the Bay Area but a pretty drive and the campground has nice hiking. Sadly when we went it was too cold to get into the water. Maybe next time!

Ingredients –
- Loaf of French bread
- 2 to 2 1/2 sticks of butter – accept it, love it, trust me!
- Garlic – I use at least 8-9 cloves
- Italian seasoning
- Parmesan cheese – shredded
- Foil
Directions –
- Cut french loaf in half longwise
- Mince garlic to fine pieces
- Mash room temp butter, minced garlic, a little bit of shredded Parmesan cheese and a couple teaspoons of Italian seasoning in a bowl until well combined
- Spread garlic, cheese, butter mixture evenly on the two layers of bread
- Top with more shredded Parmesan cheese
- Put each loaf separately in a piece of foil and fold up so foil creates a boat and top of bread doesn’t touch top of foil
- Place on indirect heat on campfire and cook for about 10 min or until bread is warmed and cheese on top is melted
- Remove from heat and slice into 2 inch pieces or eat as whole (just kidding but you’ll want to)
