Top 10 Campfire Recipes for Your Next Camping Adventure

Cooking over an open fire is a beloved tradition for campers, but mastering this skill can be a challenge. Luckily, there are plenty of delicious ways to whip up classic camping meals and snacks. Here are our top 10 campfire recipes to inspire your next cookout!

campfire breakfast sandwich

1. Camping Breakfast Sandwich

Start your day with a hearty breakfast sandwich. Use a cast iron pan to crisp English muffins with butter over medium heat. Warm up your choice of meat—bacon, ham, or a burger patty. Fry eggs in the same pan and assemble the sandwich with cheese. Wrap it in aluminum foil and place it over the heat until the cheese melts.

2. S'mores Granola

For a fun snack, make S'mores granola! Coat a large piece of tin foil with cooking spray and mix 3 cups of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of oat bran, a pinch of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. Wrap and cook for 5-10 minutes over the fire, then add chocolate chips and marshmallows as it cools.

campfire nachos

3. Campfire Nachos

Create delicious campfire nachos! Lightly oil a deep saucepan and layer tortilla chips, salsa, black beans, cheese, avocado, green onion, and cilantro. Repeat layers and cover the pan. Cook over heat for about 10 minutes for a cheesy, satisfying treat.

4. Campfire Cinnamon Roll-Ups

These sweet treats are easy to make! Mix 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Wrap crescent rolls around skewers, roll them in the sugar mix, and cook over the fire for about 5 minutes. Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.

A walking taco is a fun, easy meal! Cook beef or turkey, then mix in taco seasoning and black beans. Spoon the mixture into individual bags of Fritos or Doritos, and top with your favorite ingredients like cheese, lettuce, and salsa.

For a tasty side dish, mix 1 teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush potato wedges with olive oil and grill over direct heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Move to indirect heat until golden brown, then toss with the spice mixture.

8. Campfire Steak, Potatoes, and Peppers

Slice bell peppers, zucchini, and precooked sweet potatoes. Toss with beef steak, olive oil, salt, and spices. Wrap in aluminum foil to create packets and cook over the fire for about 20 minutes for a flavorful meal.
