Why Choose Stuffed Mushrooms for Camping?

Plus, you only need a few ingredients, and they can be cooked right over the campfire. Let’s dive into this simple yet sophisticated campfire recipe!
Ingredients
For a batch of 8–10 stuffed mushrooms, gather:
- 8–10 large button or portobello mushrooms (stems removed)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar or mozzarella
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Aluminum foil
Step 1: Prep Your Mushrooms
Start by cleaning your mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt and remove the stems carefully, creating a little pocket for the filling. Brush each mushroom cap with olive oil, giving them a nice shine and preventing them from sticking to the foil.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated cheddar (or mozzarella if you prefer a milder taste), breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, creamy filling with an even distribution of herbs and cheese.
Step 3: Stuff and Wrap
Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap generously with the cheese mixture. Don’t be afraid to pack them up – the cheesier, the better! Once stuffed, wrap each mushroom cap in a small square of aluminum foil, creating a snug bundle that will hold in heat and allow the cheese to melt perfectly.
Step 4: Campfire Cook Time
Place the foil-wrapped mushrooms over the campfire grill, or near the embers if you want a gentler heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the cheese inside is melted, bubbly, and deliciously fragrant. Carefully unwrap, let cool slightly, and serve warm!
There you have it – a tasty, easy-to-make recipe that adds a gourmet touch to your campfire repertoire. These cheesy stuffed mushrooms will impress everyone around the campfire, and they’re perfect for sharing!
