Sitting across the campfire at night is one of the pleasures of camping
. Its even much better when you have easy campfire meals to cook dinner around the coals. The smell from the cooking continually brings hungry campers in for a great dinner.
Easy camp meals can be one pot meals of stew or grilled chicken around the coals or meals that everyone gets to help out with that the camp cook plans and supervises. The dinners that everyone takes a part in are some of my favorite .
Hobo Dinners
Hobo dinners are foil wrapped meals that are cooked directly in the coals of a fire. The basic components are some type of meat, potatoes, other vegetables and seasonings. The possibilities for range are endless. I like to assemble the components for the dinner on the table along with the heavy duty tin foil to wrap it in and let everyone create their own meal. Don't skimp on the tin foil and be positive that the foil packages are wrapped up well and sealed before they go onto the coals. Nothing is more dissapointing than to pull out your meal and find all the juice has drained out and your meal is burnt and dry.
Sausage on a Stick
This is yet another easy campfire meal that everyone cooks for themselves above the fire. You will require biscuit dough (homemade or refrigerated), hot dogs or other sausages and skewers to cook them on. Wrap the sausages within the biscuit dough and cook above hot coals. The meal is finished when the biscuit dough is cooked through. Serve with mustard and relish, no need for buns!
These are just a couple of easy campfire meals you may plan that everyone cooks for themselves. Other kinds of easy campfire mealsinclude one-pot meals such as Dutch Oven cooking and pasta for a filling dinner.
