Campfire cooking is one of my favorite parts of camping. Here's a few of my favorites:

Kabobs with chicken, zucchini peppers,onion,mushrooms

Corn on the cob - I cook them in the husk after a soak in water. They come out a little charred and taste amazing.

Potatoes, garlic and onions sealed in heavy foil with too much butter. I throw it right on hot coals for a long time.

I used to take bread, burger meat, onions, and sweet peppers and put them all in a pie iron.

We called it hillbilly meat pie. Honestly writing this makes me want to make one again lmao

To feed a lot, spaghetti goes the distance. I like some good brats - if frozen solid they act as an ice pack on day 1. But my favourite.. what makes a good camp out , is breakfast. Eggs scrambled , lots of Vermont maple sausage, all the grease and butter then to toast and perk pot death wish sludge. Soooo good

Maybe I'm a sucker, but mac and cheese will always be a favorite on the trail or so home.

Tortellini with shrimp and tomato sauce (we use frozen shrimp), grilled fish, and basically any stir-fried food.
