Mountain Pies & Pie Irons

Lets talk Mountain Pies (Hobo Pies)  I have been making and more importantly eating these things since I was a kid. I thought it was time to talk about it.

Here's what you need to start:
I like the double pie Iron from Cabelas. It works great and someone else always wants the extra pie you just made. You can find all these Pie makers by clicking on my Cabelas link to the right of this post. Thanks

 Mountain Pies, also called hobo pies among other things, are a sure fire campfire hit. These mountain pies can be filled with many ingredients to be a main dish, a quick snack or even a scrumptious desert.

These are simply 2 pieces of buttered bread (white or wheat or whatever) which are filled and then grilled to perfection. Every thing tastes better over a campfire so try these quick ideas on your next camping vacation.You can also replace butter with a healthy shot of Butter Flavored Pam on your Pie iron.

Mountain or hobo pies are small hot pockets of bread that are cooked over a campfire. You can fill these with all sorts of good foodstuff. These have many names, and are made all over the world in different cultures, so you are sure to find your favorites.

Here are some ideas frequently used.

AppleJackMountain Pies
Please butter your bread and add in fresh slices of apples, apple pie filling, or even applesauce. Sprinkle on cinnamon, raisins and cook as directed.

Pizza hobo pies
If you wish to create a Pizza hobo version, prepare your bread and top with your favorite pizza sauce. Add in the sausage, pepperoni, cheese, or other ingredients and cook as directed. Do not over stuff your pie as the hot filling will run out and you may get burnt.

Meat and Cheese
If you have chunks of chicken, pork, beef or sausage left from summer, toss them on two pieces of bread. There is no better comfort food than a grilled ham and cheese, but in this twist, you can use chunks of ham or a variety of cheeses. Use you imagination and come up with something creative for your family.

Basically you can stick anything in these units you want. Hope to see you using your Pie Irons the next time your out camping!       . Please Comment with any of your own Recipes .. Thanks
