We’re going camping! Besides hot dogs & s'mores, what could we cook over a campfire?

Answer 1

Most camping spots have grills. If not, take just the wire grill part of a grill, and rig on top of your fire, using logs on either side to hold grill up straight. Also, make sure meats and cold stuff are put in separate ice coolers than that with your drinks, If something leaks, you don't want that juices on the edge of your soda cans where you put your mouth..Here are some yummy foods to eat - adult and kids alike...

Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos:

Take fresh jalapenos and make slit down one side. Clean out all seeds.fill with cheese and wrap with bacon. Place on hot grill 3-4 min. turn after 1st min.
--------------------
Skewered Mustard Beer Shrimp:

2 lb (@48) large fresh shrimp,peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 c spicy brown mustard
1/4 c light beer
veg cooking spray

Thread 6 shrimp on each skewer. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and pepper. Combine mustard and beer; stir mixture well. Coat grill rack with cooking spray and place on grill over med-high heated coals. Place skewers on rack and grill; basting with mustard mix often, 5 min on each side.
---------------------------
Chicken fingers on a stick:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-3/4 in thick
s&p
24 (10in) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 min.
3 TBS oil
2 TBS barbecue sauce (can use ranch dressing or spicy mustard instead)
1 1/4 c bread crumbs

Cut each chicken piece lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips and sprinkle with s&p. Fold the strip slightly and weave them onto skewers. Prepare grill, close lid and heat until hot. In a small bowl, stir together the oil and the barbecue sauce. Spread the bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. Lightly brush the sauce moxture over the chicken strips and then roll them in bread crumbs. Grill until no longer pink inside, about 2-4 min. per side (on gas grill) Serve with the dipping sauce of your choice.
--------------------
If you take some heavy duty foil, you can cook potatoes, cut-up veggies, corn-on-the-cob, onions and mushrooms with butter by wrapping them up individually or in foil pouches with some butter and whatever spices you have. Throw in fire (for corn or potatoes) or on wire rack. Can cook a long time. Throw your potatoes on in the morning and let cook all day....

Answer 2

Well for this season, cooking over a camp fire is great, especially sweats. When I was in Boy scouts, we had apples. We cut the seeds out from the top like a circle in the top of the apple but not to make a whole straight to the bottom, then we filled it with either brown or white sugar and red hots candy. Wrap that baby in foil and shove it in the coals and you'll be amazed on the flavor. Try it, if you hate it, I'll give you my address so you can shoot me.

Answer 3

How about some italian sausages or any sausage for that matter. Some kielbasa would also be good. Also wrap some potatoes in tin foil and bake them in the fire. You can do the same thing with corn on the cob. You can also heat a can of beans either in the can or use an old saucepan.
Dont forget to take the fixings for potatoes and corn if you choose to do that. Pack the butter, sour cream and chives, and of course salt and pepper. Enjoy your trip!

Answer 4

You can cook just about anything over a campfire. Last time I went with a group, someone actually made beef brisket. Personally, I like to fry up some fish while I'm camping. Hamburgers too, and chili.

We cooked steaks , chicken, hot dogs, baked taters, corn on the cob. Found a new trick for breakfast.. Get "Jimmy Deans" frozen breakfast bags... Everything is in there but a few eggs. Cooks in one pan and is YUMMY..

Answer 6

Steaks cook well on a spit or a roast....chicken breast, venison tenderloin....anything requiring a pan could go over a campfire w/ rocks or large logs to hold the pan...use your imagination....spaghetti might not be to good but stews, soups, fish...it's all good!!!

Answer 7

Everything.

Pizza. Bake Potatoes. Fish. Burgers. Pancakes. Et al...

OK Most anything you can do in a kitchen you can do on a fire. You might need a couple of pots and pans but it will be worth it.

Answer 8

If you have a cast iron skillet you can cook about anything you like by setting the skillet on the hot coals.

Answer 9

take a Wok with a lid. in it you can cook anything. Take a dutch oven, the ones with the feet, and you can use it for baking and cooking. there are also camp ovens that you can buy.

Answer 10

There is tons of stuff, basically anything, just remember everything takes a lot longer to cook over a fire
