Favourite Pie Iron Sandwich Variation

Hi folks,
I'm new here, so if this topic has been done to death, please forgive and/or ignore me. I was looking at the posts in this forum and there was a thread asking for people's favourite hand held meal. Since this whole site is all about camping and the great outdoors, I was surprised to see that none of the responses included what we like to call "Bush Pies" or hobo pies, or pudgies etc. etc. you know what I mean, with the cast iron device that you put a piece of buttered bread, then your filling, then another piece of bread, close it up and put the whole thing in the fire.
Anyway, there's so many different variations and for us, it's a part of camping and campfire cooking.
I think my favourite would be the breakfast bush pie. Scrambled egg, chopped up ham or bacon, some diced green or red pepper, maybe a little onion. YummO.
Anyone else have a favourite way to do these?

  • Anchovies, Braunschweiger and Limburger cheese.

    Yum! and healthy also.
  • I like the pizza ones we do. every year our camping club does a pie iron party, everyone brings a different topping or two. we cut the creations into 4 pieces and share. we get everything from taco's to desserts, and they are all good. enjoy.
  • We enjoy savory and sweet pies. I've used breads, pie crust, rolls, crescent dough,tortilla's etc experimenting.Also use irons to bake small cinnamon rolls.
    Pie irons make terrific Reuben Sandwiches -my fav.
    Chicken Pot Pies, quesadilla's, Apple or cherry pie...
