Get into the summer spirit with these pan-fried campfire brats with caramelized onions and peppers.
Cast Iron Brats are an easy campfire meal. Topped with sweet & spicy peppers and onions, this is a great, cheap dinner while camping.
For many campers, grilling bratwursts over an open fire is a time-honored tradition. As a camping meal, brats are simple, easy, and unpretentiously delicious. But introduce a cast iron skillet into the mix, and you have the opportunity to transform this classic meal into something extraordinary.
Toppings are a great way to elevate your bratwursts, and few are more sought after than caramelized onions and peppers. Cooking them over a campfire is an easy task. Just slice the peppers and onions thinly, toss in olive oil, and saute in a skillet placed on the grate over the fire.

While red bell peppers are the most common choice, you can add some extra kick by using poblano, Anaheim or even jalapeño peppers instead. While some of these peppers might be too spicy to eat raw, when cooked down, they mellow out considerably (removing the seeds mellows them further).
Cutting up a full onion and pepper might produce more veggies than you need. But thankfully your leftovers can have a second life the next morning. Just chop up the caramelized onions and peppers—as well as any leftover sausage—and stir into your eggs the next morning to create a flavorful breakfast scramble.
