S'mores by Tablespoon.com

One of the all-time favorite campfire treats is the classic s'more. With a few simple ingredients and an open flame, you can have a delicious snack in no time. 

To make your own campfire s'mores, you will need one graham cracker, half of a chocolate candy bar, and 1 marshmallow.

First, prepare your campfire or fire in your fireplace until there are only red hot embers rather than flames. Break the graham cracker into two squares and place the chocolate bar on one.

Next, hold a marshmallow over the heat on a stick and rotate it until it is golden brown (or dark brown or burnt if you prefer!) Place the marshmallow on top of the chocolate and top with the second graham cracker square. Enjoy your delicious treat sandwich style! 

For those looking for some creative spins on this classic recipe, try out crunchy granola bars instead of graham crackers, or flavored marshmallows that come in flavors like coconut, chocolate, and strawberry. No matter which way you make your s'more, it's sure to be a tasty treat for the whole family!

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches by Let's Camp S'more

Craving something warm and cheesy? Look no further than the classic grilled cheese sandwich. This camping staple is a simple, yet tasty way to satisfy hungry bellies around the fire. Prep time takes just five minutes and cooking takes ten, making it a quick and easy way to feed a crowd! 

To make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich, butter the outside of two slices of bread. Place one to three slices of your favorite cheese in between them with the butter side out. There are two methods for grilling: you can use a pie iron or put heavy-duty foil on the grate/heat a cast-iron griddle over the campfire. Grill each side of the sandwich for four to five minutes or until the cheese is melted. 

Grilled cheese sandwiches are an amazing way to enjoy cheese while getting creative with your campfire cookery. Use any type of bread you like (bagels, sourdough, white, etc.) and any favorite cheese you have on hand (cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, etc.). For extra flavor, add some seasonings like garlic powder or herbs like basil and oregano. Feel free to get creative and add other ingredients such as tomatoes, bacon, mushrooms, peppers or anything else your heart desires! 

Grilled cheese sandwiches can be made in no time and are the perfect way to please the whole family. Everyone will love this campfire classic and you’ll be sure to make them over and over again.

The Boy Scouts Campfire Quesadillas by Epicurious

The winter months bring a chill to the air, but they don’t have to keep us from gathering around the campfire and enjoying some delicious food. For a perfect winter campfire meal, try The Boy Scouts Campfire Quesadillas! This quick and easy recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone in your group. 

Start by cutting 8 pieces of heavy-duty foil into 12"x16” pieces and layering two together to create four stacks. Place a flour tortilla in the center of each stack and top one half with chicken and cheese. 

Then, sprinkle on some salt and pepper for seasoning and fold the tortilla in half. After this, gather the edges of the foil together to enclose the quesadillas, then crimp the edges to seal. 

Once you’ve prepared your packets, build a campfire or fire up your grill using hardwood charcoal or wood. Let the coals burn until they’re glowing red with no black remaining, then place the foil packs side by side directly onto them. Rotate them occasionally with tongs as they cook for about 5 minutes, then check if the cheese has melted. If not, return them for another 5-10 minutes until everything is hot and melted. 

When your quesadillas are ready, serve them with a side of hot sauce for an extra kick. This winter campfire recipe is sure to bring warmth and flavor to your outdoor gatherings, so grab your friends and get ready to enjoy the ultimate winter feast!

Cheesy Potatoes by Savory Nothings

This Cheesy Potatoes recipe is the perfect side to accompany your favorite winter dishes. Prep time is just 15 minutes, and with only five simple ingredients, this delicious dish comes together in no time. 

Start by prepping a foil packet: layer two large pieces of heavy-duty aluminium foil over each other to form a cross. Place potatoes and onion in the middle, sprinkle with cheese, butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper; then drizzle with olive oil. Carefully toss it all together with your hands to make sure the potatoes are evenly coated. Fold up the sides of the foil to form a “bowl” and pour in chicken broth before sealing the pouch tightly. 

Then, cook the foil packet on your campfire or grill for 30-40 minutes until tender. When finished, you’ll have an irresistible combination of melted cheese, tender potatoes and onions, and savory garlic — all cooked over an open flame for an extra special smoky flavor! Serve warm for a hearty side that everyone will love.
