We love campfire cooking and got so many compliments on our giant pot of Hungarian Goulash or Hot Dog Stew that we wanted to create a recipe you could make at home over a stove or in a cast iron pot over a campfire. It’s a delicious filling stew featuring delicious flavours and everyone’s favourite camping ingredient – hot dogs! Check out that featured picture and post of the Hungarian Goulash Recipe:
Follow the directions below if making it on a campfire – if making it at home substitute a cast iron pot for a dutch oven and prepare on your stovetop following the same steps. Happy cooking!

yum!
Looks awesome could you substitute smoked sausage for hotdogs?
Absolutely! That would be delicious!
The recipe never calls for you to add the potatoes. They go in with peppers, onions and hotdogs I assume?
Yes! Thanks Joe for catching that – I’ve added it into the directions now.
Nothing better then goulash when camping! Thank you for the great easy recipe!
I’ve never seen a recipe like this before but it looks absolutely delicious and I like the combination of ingredients.
Sounds delicious and easy. Have to try this.
We have everything except the bell peppers in our home, but we can just about make that dish right now; that’s a really convenient, tasty recipe we’ll try out.
I love the idea of serving one pot campfire recipes tat contain fresh veggies like this! Much more nutritionally-powered!
I love how easy this recipe looks! It’s always great to be able to make an entire meal in a single pot over a campfire – It’s the way they did it in the old days, in the wild west! I think you’re ready for a good trail ride!
Thank you!
