So when we started thinking about recipes for pie irons, we new this one would be perfect. The whole point of camping is relaxing and well, if you can have delicious food that is simple to make. Simple camping recipes are the way to go. Boy was I wrong! We have cooked breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert with them! It’s fun coming up with new recipes for pie iron! When we got these Pie Irons I wasn’t sure if we would use them. Since these are individual pizza pockets, everyone can add their own pizza topping to make their pie iron pizza pocket unique! So if you are looking for recipes for pie irons, keep scrolling to the bottom! The heat will melt the cheese nicely, and we also use extra pizza sauce to dip our pizza intoĮnjoy and don’t forget to check out our other campfire food goodness like Campfire Ice Cream S’mores or Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread.These Pie Iron Pizza pockets are super easy to make on the campfire. At this time you take a section that didn’t seal completely and open your “pudgy pie pizza” to add more cheese. Once browned and the crust is cooked all of the way through remove from fire and place onto a plate. Flip periodically so both sides get cooked evenly. You can use either, remember if you use the flame it will cook faster so check frequently so it doesn’t burn. Place the pudgy pie grill over the fire and coals, it will work better if you can have the fire burning for at least 30 minutes prior, but not necessary. Try as best as you can, this is why we don’t add a lot of cheese. You may not be able to get a complete tight seal around the entire edges, this is okay. Fold the dough over the toppings to create a “pie.” Also, after they are cooked we pull the crusts apart, and add more cheese to the inside.Īfter you have your toppings on, pinch the edges to seal everything inside. The reason why we do this is so we can seal the edges and don’t lose all of our toppings out the sides. Now time to add the “toppings.” We add less of the cheese and more of the other toppings. By sealing the sides it keeps your pizza toppings inside the pudgy pie. Remember not to put too much sauce because you have to seal the sides closed. Then put your sauce in the middle of the section on the pudgy pie grill. We keep a plate under the excess pizza dough, so it doesn’t go onto the table. I like using a double pie maker, only because it takes less time to make dinner for two. Once you can cover a pudgy pie maker with dough cut the dough in half. Wipe off any excess spray/butter so it’s not pooling in the corners. Spray more than what you might think, it doesn’t make it greasy but it makes clean up much easier. Use a spray or butter on your pudgy pie grill to keep from sticking. Spread pizza dough over small cookie sheet and thin out.

We had a pretty big lunch but still wanted more than brats over the fire. We made a pizza pudgy pie one night after trying to decide what to have for dinner. See strawberry shortcake pudgy pie recipe here. We have made strawberry shortcake that was a easy desert. We have made caramel apple pudgy pies that were a fun change to our normal traditional apple pudgy pie. Over the years we have tried multiple versions of “pudgy pies.” We have made traditional pudgy pies with cherry, apple and strawberry flavor. Dishes are easy as you typically only have silverware, plates and the cooking trays. It’s great, because a large portion of the time we already have a fire going and we can get everything together on a picnic table. Pudgy pies are a big hit in our family so we have become creative with them. We have honestly never used our camper oven and we’ve had a camper for about 15 years now. When we camp we like simple foods that hopefully don’t make a mess. We, as a family, do a lot of camping, so easy, quick and good tasting food is always at the top of our list.
