Camping is all about getting back to nature, and what better way to do that than by cooking your meals over an open flame? But if you’re tired of the same old hot dogs and s’mores, it’s time to get creative with your campfire cooking. Here are some ideas to get you started.
First up, foil packet meals. These are incredibly versatile and easy to make. Simply wrap your ingredients (think veggies, potatoes, meat, and seasonings) in a double layer of heavy-duty foil, then cook over the campfire or on hot coals for 30-40 minutes. The result is a delicious, no-fuss meal that everyone will love.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own pizza over the campfire. All you need is some pizza dough (store-bought or homemade), sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Roll out the dough, add your toppings, and wrap it in foil. Cook over the fire for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Another fun option is to make campfire nachos. Layer tortilla chips, shredded cheese, cooked ground beef, beans, and any other toppings you like in a cast iron skillet. Cover with foil and cook over the fire for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and everything is nice and hot.
For dessert, try making campfire cones. Fill a waffle cone with your favorite toppings like mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped fruit. Wrap in foil and cook over the fire for 5-10 minutes or until everything is melted and gooey.
With these campfire cooking ideas, your next camping trip is sure to be a delicious success. Just be sure to bring plenty of foil and a good set of tongs!
