When used properly, most pizzas will cook in about eight to 10 minutes with a pizza stone. Keep in mind that the clay a pizza stone is made from is porous and can absorb flavors and odors.

If you're wondering should I oil my pizza stone, the answer is no. Your pizza stone is designed to be ready to cook with. There's no need to sprinkle it with flour or any seasoning yourself either. Your pizza stone may absorb the seasoning, causing it to smoke when heated or give off a bad smell.

One of my favorite parts of camping is getting to try out a new recipe over the open fire. We made these Pizza Nachos during a camping trip to Point Mugu a few weeks ago.

We got to eat them by the ocean at sunset, while dolphins and whales played. Seriously, California is the best state!

I love these as a camping recipe because you can do most of the prep at home then throw it together at the campsite with minimal dishes. Very easy. If you aren’t camping, you could also make this in the oven at home (just pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees).

Garlic Cream Sauce: Melt the butter and olive oil in a saucepan Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic. Stir. After a minute or two, add in the cream and milk. Stir until it comes to a boil. Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cheese. Stir until sauce has thickened. Once it has thickened, remove from fire and set aside.

Nachos: Grab your cast iron skillet and add the tortilla chips. Drizzle the garlic cream sauce all over the chips.

Top with the onions, pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, and colby jack cheese. The best approached is to layer it between tortilla chips so every bit gets plenty of toppings.

Place over the open fire and cover. Cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the veggies are warm, about 5-8 minutes.
