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 –

1. Cut french loaf in half longwise
2. Mince garlic to fine pieces
3. 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
4. Spread garlic, cheese, butter mixture evenly on the two layers of bread
5. Top with more shredded Parmesan cheese
6. 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
7. Place on indirect heat on campfire and cook for about 10 min or until bread is warmed and cheese on top is melted
8. Remove from heat and slice into 2 inch pieces or eat as whole (just kidding but you’ll want to)
