When it comes to campfire cooking, simplicity and convenience are key. Here are some of the best campfire foods that are easy to prepare and always a hit:
S’mores: Is Always one of the best campfire foods! Roast marshmallows over the fire until golden brown, then sandwich them between graham crackers with a piece of chocolate.
Hot dogs: Nothing beats a grilled hot dog over an open flame. Set up a skewer or roasting stick and cook the hot dogs until they’re crispy and slightly charred.
Foil-wrapped meals: Prepare foil packets filled with your favorite ingredients, such as seasoned chicken or beef, potatoes, vegetables, and herbs. Seal them tightly and cook them over the fire until everything is tender and delicious.
Hobo packets: Similar to foil-wrapped meals, hobo packets are made by wrapping ingredients like ground beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots in foil. Season them well, then cook them directly on the coals of the fire.
Campfire pies: Use a pie iron to make delicious sandwiches or pies over the fire. Fill bread slices or pie crusts with your choice of fillings, such as fruit, pie filling, cheese, or pizza ingredients, then cook until crispy and golden.
Grilled corn on the cob: Peel back the husks of fresh corn, remove the silk, then pull the husks back up. Soak the corn in water for about 15 minutes, then grill them directly on the fire until tender and lightly charred.
Campfire chili: Prepare a hearty pot of chili before you leave for your camping trip, then reheat it over the fire for a warm and satisfying meal. Don’t forget the toppings like cheese, sour cream, and green onions!
Dutch oven meals: Dutch ovens are perfect for cooking soups, stews, casseroles, and even desserts over the fire. Experiment with different recipes and enjoy the delicious results.
Remember to always practice fire safety when cooking over an open flame and follow any regulations or guidelines for campfire cooking in your area. Enjoy your outdoor cooking adventure!
