Megan Traeger, an experienced RV’er spent 6 weeks last summer with her family of four traversing the US National parks. Lucky for us, she is sharing her hacks for meal planning on the road.
When traveling, she likes to have the ingredients handy and easy to snag. So, she packs all ingredients needed for a recipe in paper bags marked with the name of the dish. After coming in from hiking, sight-seeing, or just traversing the highway, this method takes the guess work out of preparation.
Megan’s family favorite is “Cheesy Taco Pasta”. RVs are short on refrigerator space, and in this case, only the ground meat and shredded cheese takes a precious spot.
Come on board the Traeger “Adventure” and view Megan preparing this simple, yummy one pot dinner with a Tex-Mex ring to it at our website: www.texicureans.com You’ll also find a handy list of staples Megan says to keep in your pantry. Happy exploring!
