This is a wonderfully easy stuffed pumpkin dish. While the main theme here is to have some fall flavors while camping, it definitely helps to get away from hot dogs! In fact, if you are out with some friends or extended family, this meal will be quite exceptional. The best part is that it takes little to know work. You can even do all of the work at home in preparation for the trip. So let’s class up our fall camping trip with these fire ring stuffed pumpkins!
Aside from being crazy easy to complete, this recipe also has a multitude of modifications that you can make. We have personally tried making this recipe completely vegan. We have added notes into the recipe below so that you can also have a vegan version. The modifications do not stop there though. We opted for sage, apple, and sausage stuffing. However, this would be equally as delicious with chorizo and manchego cheese to make it Spanish-inspired. What about some delicious turkey and mashed potatoes for a Thanksgiving flair. The options are truly endless. We would love to hear what you think would be a great stuffing in this recipe in the comments below or on our Facebook Page!
The Tools
The tools for this recipe are crazy simple. All you need is a skillet, some tin foil, and some cooking spray. As we said above most of this recipe can be done in advance at home. If you plan ahead you can make the stuffing at home, prep the pumpkins, and even stuff and wrap them in tin foil. This will make this exceptional meal a breeze when you get there. The only other item that you will need will be a well-made fire with some coals to help cook around the fire ring.
