Taking the family up to Itasca state park for 5 days next week and would love to hear some of your favorite campfire recipes. As a boy I always remember my dad making beef, onions, and potatoes in tinfoil. Very simple recipe and id probably add a little spice to it these days but still something I remember fondly. What are some of the things you guys make with your families while camping?
Pizza Pudgey Pies…cooked in those sandwhich/pie campfire things.
Bread with butter on outside. They put whatever pizza toppings you want on the inside and set it in the coals. Rotate a few times and boom!
Then wait a few mins for it to cool when you take it out unless you hate the existence of skin on the top of your mouth ha.

that one sounds fun. I think the kids would like that
We’d make those but with cherry/blueberry/strawberry etc filling, and then top with ice cream, good stuff!!! x2 on letting them cool tho. For dinner I like root/ground veggies (potato, onion, peppers, zucchini etc) in tinfoil w/ butter. Also, you can go State Fair style, and put anything on a stick. I’ve done pork chops, which was good.
Cut the top off of a big orange, jack-o-lantern style. (One orange per person.) Save the top. With a spoon, eat the innards. Pour in chocolate cake mix (the just-add-water kind is easiest) so it is about 3/4 full. Put the orange top back on, wrap the whole thing in foil, and put it in the coals. After a bit you’ll have individual orange-infused chocolate cakes. Labor-intensive, but it gives the kids something to do and it is delicious.
Slice your favorite summer sausage, top with your favorite cheese, heat over the fire until the cheese melts and you have Java pizza. This was invented on Java lake near sawbill lake in the bwca back in the early 1970’s

They taught us that in home ec years & years ago.
ritz cracker
ketchup on top
slice of pepperoni
cheese
Pop in the oven.
Get a big box of cheap doughnut holes (the kind with sugar glaze not powder). Then toast them like a hot dog or if you really get into it put them in the campfire pie iron with some pie filling or berries. You wouldn’t think it but they turn out just like fresh mini doughnuts without the grease. First time I tried it, everyone made fun of me. Five mins later, we were all making them. The pizzas mentioned above are one of my favorite foods!
