These sandwiches are certainly not gourmet or fancy by any stretch of the imagination but they are really easy to make and the irons are fun to use. The best thing about them is that kids can help prepare and cook the sandwiches. I feel like so many camping dinners are hands off for kids, involving raw meat, slicing and dicing, foil packs and fire.
All you need is some butter, pizza sauce, bread, and cheese.
First, spread butter on two pieces of bread. Then place them butter side down into your sandwich maker.
Next, spread some sauce on top. This is a great kid job.
After that, sprinkle enough grated cheese on the sandwich to cover up the sauce. You could add pepperoni or anything else you want but when I'm camping I'm kind of a minimalist, so for me, less is more.
Now here is the only semi-complicated step in the whole process. Hook the ends of the press together and then snap it shut quickly without spilling your cheese.
Then you hook the little latch and pull it up toward the handle so it doesn't get hot in the fire.
Then stick them in the fire and cook for a few minutes on each side.
I can't really give you an exact time but err on the side of being underdone as you can always stick them back in if not grilled enough for your liking.
Then carefully take them out and serve!
We threw in a foil pack of veggies marinated in Greek dressing as a side and of course ended the night with some S'mores.
So there you have it! Let's be honest, you don't really need a printable recipe for this one. You can also make these on your stove top to add variety at lunch time. I think you might be able to make these in a foil packs while camping if you didn't want to invest in the sandwich makers. I'd be really interested to know the results if anyone tries it.
