Yummy Recipes for Campfire Cooking

The mom in charge set up a welcoming bon fire pit with stumps circled around the fire as seats.  She had a water jug outside with soap nearby so everyone could “wash up” before preparing their food.  Everyone was given a piece of tin foil.  They wrote their names on the bottom with a black sharpie pen.  Then they shaped the foil around a cup and then removed the cup to create a “pocket.”  First they put a hamburger pattie in the bottom and then chose from an assortment of vegetables: sliced potatoes, onions, carrots, broccoli, etc.  They had a choice of seasoning: salt, pepper, or lemon pepper.  Then they added a scoop of cream of mushroom soup to keep their “dinner” moist.  Everyone twisted their foil shut and then placed it on a rack over the fire.  It was important for it not to get directly in the flames so someone was rotating the foil packs.  Some were placed in the hot coals.  After enjoying their dinner the girls were ready for dessert!

So we made “brown bears.”  Everyone chose a stick and then covered the last 8-10 inches with tin foil.  Then they wrapped a portion of refrigerated crescent dough around their stick.  Then they browned their bears over the fire as you would a marshmallow.  After the dough was baked, they smeared butter on their “bear” and then sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar and ate it off of their stick.
