Campfire Recipes

[neci]

I need your favorite recipes for campfire cooking. S'mores will be consumed this weekend. Frozen chili, fritos and hotdogs are being packed. One trip I remember someone brought a whole turkey to the campfire. We wrapped it in foil and buried it under the fire. Best damn turkey ever.

Anything in foil thrown in the fire is delicious. Chopped potatoes and veggies, chicken breasts wrapped in bacon... My brother makes these cowboy beans (it's what he calls them.. I don't know) but it requires a cast iron pot and like 17 pounds of bacon.

Sorry, guess these aren't really recipes....

Old school.....

 

[Aquagal]

Try snugglestruggle's bananas and chocolate in foil.

Tri tip, salsa, and flour torts are an always must when I camp. Plus the Tri tip fries up nice in the eggs the next morn, for a breakfast burrito. I'm all for handheld foods.

i love huge breakfasts with eggs and everything else thrown in. light lunch of sammiches and fruit, then hot dinners full of flavor.

i have to veto the mac and cheese. that's a stove top "meal."

Get one or three of these. In the scouts we made sandwiches and pies (cherry, apple & peach) with this thing. Great addition to a campfire.

Also one of these:

to make stews, biscuits and most everything you can on a campfire.

Or try this:

A couple of green sticks, some shish-ka-bob skewers and Wa-La! open flame smoked barbecued salmon.

A nice flat rock can do a steak justice, or any meat for that matter.

toys! i don't have a lot of camping toys. mainly foil and duct tape.

i can do rocks! meat is a must. smokey meat. i am a sucker for smelling like a campfire.

Depends on the kill. For venison there are thousands of recipes for home and camp both. For homo sapien there are fewer published recipes but if you ask around you'll find some good ones that were handed down through the generations. Or maybe that's just my family.

If you try the chocolate bananas in foil, set it them at the edge of the fire, you want the chocolate just melted and the banana warm. Also don't close the foil down too close on the top of the banana.

i prefer my humans raw.

that sounds good. i found the recipe hunting around. i was going to bake up some banana bread tomorrow morning to take with for snacking. i may have to throw some fresh nanas in as well.

Or you can lay the meat right on the coals like Alton Brown.

I did a step by step w pics in the food thread. You don't have to worry about them coming out black in the campfire. Fruit is always a good camping food because it doesn't need refrigeration.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Potatoes, root veggies and onions wrapped in tinfoil and baked/roasted. Standard fair for supper on our trips to Georgian Bay shore two week fishing trip.

All ingredients keep well. And do not require being on ice. Extra potatoes are done and used for homefries the next morning. Cans of beef stew bolster the meal if no fish caught. Minute rice in a box only needs boiling water.

Don't forget to take S&P.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Damn it's like food porn network, outdoors addition.

 

[jezzilee]

Hooky House Bean Soup. Super easy and very good. It's smoked sausage, kidney beans and potatoes. Slice the sausage, cube the potatoes and put in a pot. Hang it above the fire and let cook for a long time. Once the potatoes are cooked it is done and surprisingly delicious.

Even in the bush I'm a food porn whore, I'm the only guy that goes camping and GAINS weight, and I portage all my crap in.

Frozen steaks will keep for almost three days, why complicate things, rib eye, Tbone, shit even strips you get cheap will have everybody quiet, watching, salivating.

As an added bonus, bring an old school Jiffy Pop or two. Embers only, open flame will burn, but shaking & smelling the tinfoil bubble will almost be the highlight of the trip.

drop one or two cut up rabbits in a dutch oven with a cup of water and a package of dry onion soup. Simmer on low coals for about 1 hour or until meat is tender. Bisquick mixed thick turn into drop biscuits or dumplings when placed on top of the rabbit.
