AT THE CAMPSITE
At Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort, every site comes with a BBQ pit for your campsite cooking convenience. So once you are ready to prepare your Pie Tin Mac and Cheese, you will want to get your BBQ pit nice and hot.
Before you heat the prepped mac and cheese, it would be a good idea to cook any toppers you want to add, like hotdogs, sausage, etc.
LET’S GET COOKIN’
1. Place the prepared pie tin on the cooking rack of your BBQ pit for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
2. Carefully remove the hot pie tin from the BBQ and set it aside for a few minutes to cool.
3. Remove the foil and add your desired toppings.
The nice thing about this camping recipe is there are no dishes to clean once you’re done. That’s less time in the kitchen and more time with the family on your relaxing getaway at Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort!
