How To Make Campfire Goulash In Your Dutch Oven
This is one of our awesome camping dinner recipes that is made all in one pot so you’ll just keep adding layers of flavor to the Dutch oven as you build this yummy goulash meal.
Step 1. Prepare your veggies.
One of the most important things to do when you are making easy camping meals is to prep all of your ingredients before you start cooking.
This particular recipe is super easy, you just need to chop a bit of onion, celery and garlic.

Step 2. Get your cooking equipment ready.
I like making this as one of our regular winter camping recipes that I cook over a campfire but if I am making this when we are under campfire restrictions, I just use a propane stove.
If you are making this as one of our campfire recipes, you’ll need to get your fire going in order to cook over coals (not flames) … alternatively, you can use charcoal briquettes.
If fire restrictions prevent you from using an open flame … or you just prefer cooking with propane, you can also make this as one of our camp stove recipes so get your stove ready for cooking on a level surface.
Step 3. Brown the meat.
The flavorful Italian sausage in this recipe needs to be browned in your 12-inch cast iron camp Dutch oven over medium heat.
There is enough fat in the meat so you don’t have to add any oil to the pot for browning.
Step 4. Add the veggies.
After the sausage is browned, you can add the onion, celery and garlic to the pot.
You’ll only cook them a few minutes, just until they are softened.
Make sure you keep stirring to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 5. Add the liquids.
It’s time to add the broth, tomatoes and beans into the pot.
This will quickly cool down the Dutch oven so just add the cover and bring the mixture up to simmer.

Step 6. Add the pasta.
As soon as the mixture is simmering, you’ll add the macaroni to the pot.
Then, raise the heat to bring the mixture to a low boil.
Just leave the cover off of the oven and cook the macaroni until it is softened.
Camp Cooking Tip: If you are cooking pasta in a Dutch oven but the pasta is not cooking as fast as the liquid is evaporating, you will have to add more liquid. For this particular recipe, you may need to add about 1/2 – 1 cup water during this part of the cooking process.
Step 7. Thicken and serve.
Now it is time to let the goulash thicken slightly, just keep it cooking uncovered until it reaches the consistency you desire.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese for serving.
