5 Things to Make Over the Campfire

Cooking over an open flame gives your food a flavor that can’t be recreated in a kitchen. Whether cooking in a Dutch oven, on a grill, or right on the fire, there are endless ways to create an unbelievable meal in your fire pit.

  1. Try a unique spin on a comfort food classic. Quicker chicken and dumplings are ready in 30 minutes. Make this recipe even more easy by using frozen biscuits for the dumplings.
  2. Take breakfast outdoors and make a Dutch baby pancake. Also known as a German pancake, it pairs perfectly with fresh berries and maple syrup.
  3. Enjoy two favorites in one pot by making Dutch oven chili and cornbread. This campfire recipe features all the chili staples like kidney beans and diced tomatoes, while the cornbread topping is the perfect accompaniment to soak up every delicious bite.
  4. For something sweet, make a campfire-grilled pineapple upside-down cake. With only five ingredients, this is an easy addition to any meal. 
  5. A campfire staple is tin foil dinners. For a scrumptious meal with minimal cleanup, make bacon ranch chicken foil packets or chicken fajita foil packets. Both options are sure to quickly become a family favorite.
