5 Ways to Use Beef Jerky in Camping Meals
Whether you're deep in the woods or kicking back at a campsite, Uncle Ervin’s beef jerky is the perfect no-prep addition to your camping meals. Lightweight, shelf-stable, and packed with bold flavor, it adds protein and punch to any dish. Here are five simple and satisfying ways to use jerky around the campfire:
1. Jerky Breakfast Scramble
Dice up Bohemian Garlic jerky and toss it into your morning skillet with eggs, potatoes, and shredded cheese. It brings rich, garlicky depth and a smoky finish that starts your day right.
2. Campfire Ramen Upgrade
Take instant ramen to the next level. Add strips of Texas Heat jerky to your noodles while they cook. The jerky softens in the broth and adds a satisfying bite.
3. Trail Tacos
Pack soft tortillas, shredded cheese, and a bag of Jalapeño Honey jerky. Warm everything up over a grill grate or firepit, let the cheese melt over the pieces of jerky, then build tacos full of bold flavor.
4. Foil Pack Rice Bowls
Layer pre-cooked rice, chopped jerky, and your favorite fire-friendly veggies (like bell peppers or onions) in foil. Add BBQ sauce or soy sauce, wrap tightly, and heat over coals.
5. Survival Stick Mac & Cheese
Keep it simple: make boxed mac & cheese and stir in slices of our Original Survival Stick Bites. It’s quick easy food, elevated by smoky, meaty flavor.
Your next camping trip just got a flavor boost. With no refrigeration required, Uncle Ervin’s jerky is the perfect trail companion.
