Easy Campfire Cooking for Doomsday
(or just a lazy weekend campout)
Ever flipped through one of those vintage camping cookbooks from the 1970s? The kind where every recipe starts with “Open can…” and ends with “heat over fire and pray for flavor”?
Yeah, we did that.
Armed with a trusty can opener, we unearthed three old-skool, wild and woolly culinary camping choices. Then, we did what any Aardvark fan would do:
We messed ‘em up! And slathered ’em in sauce! So, whether the end is near, the campsite’s calling, or you’re just too comfy in your sweatpants to cook something complicated, we’ve got you covered. These easy camping recipes start with ingredients you probably already have lurking in your pantry. With a major hit of heat and a healthy dash of “you got this,” you can turn canned-goods survival into culinary triumph.
Because, while resisting the robot uprising may be scary, boring food is the real end of the world.
Retro Smoky Chili Survival Wraps
Sometimes the best meals come from a moment of pure desperation—like when you open your cupboard, find a can of chili, a dusty box of Rice-A-Roni, and think, “This is either going to be terrible…or genius!”
Enter the Retro Chili Wrap: the love child of survival instinct and Taco Tuesday. It’s hearty, cheesy, and endlessly customizable—throw in corn, beans, jalapeños, or even a handful of crushed tortilla chips. And of course, no wrap is truly Armageddon-worthy without serious splooshes of Aardvark Smoky Chipotle Hot Sauce.
Hiding out in the wild? Hunkering down for movie night in your living room fortress? Either way, these wraps taste like victory. And if you’ve already polished off the tortillas, all this flavor goes great in a bowl.
Apocalyptic Reaper Baked Beans & Dogs
Let’s face it: beanie weenies are a classic. It’s the dish that fed picky little brothers, hungry scout troops, and broke college students for generations. But in an apocalypse (or on a Tuesday), why settle for bland when you can have bold?
This version starts with the humble canned baked bean, then levels up with smoky bacon (if you can come by it), a little sweetness (optional), and the unapologetic firepower of Secret Aardvark Reaper Hot Sauce. BAM! Add sliced hot dogs (or make do with canned Vienna sausages if that’s what’s in the bunker), and suddenly you’ve got downright craveable comfort food.
The Morning After Corned Beef Breakfast
Perfect for: The morning after…anything.
Staying up all night on watch got the best of you? This old-timey skillet’s here to save the day. Crispy corned beef hash, a few heroic vegetables to ward off the scurvy, and a big blast of Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce come together to create a breakfast that puts you back on your feet—no judgment, just flavor.
