In center of each square add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon popcorn. Bring corners together and tie with a string. Place on hot coals and shake with a long stick until popcorn is popped. Season with butter and salt if desired. Outdoor cooking for Kids: Dinner TimeChicken Dinner in Tin FoilChicken breasts Cut vegetables such as carrot slices, potato cubes, green beans, chopped zucchini, onion slices Salt and pepper On a sheet of tin foil place a chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Top whatever vegetables you would like. Then season vegetables with salt and pepper. Wrap up in tin foil and use two sheets if needed to cover securely. Place on the coals of a campfire and let cook 15-20 minutes. You may need to check several times to test for doneness. Make sure you use a potholder and be careful as the steam will be very hot when opening the tin foil. Campfire Corn on the Cob Place an ear of corn on top of a sheet of tin foil. Add dots of butter and wrap up tightly. Cook in the coals about 15 minutes. Taco Salad in a Baggie A simple lunch for a camping or hiking adventure. Place cooked hamburger and refried beans in a ziploc bag. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Make one for each camper plus a few extra just because they are so easy and yummy. Bring along a bag of tortilla chips. When lunch arrives dip your chips into the taco salad or break chips into the baggie and eat with a fork. 
A great reader tip is to use individual size bags of chips and add all
ingredients directly in the chip bag. This also makes less clean up
which is always great for kids campfire cooking.Campfire Meatloaf  Large onion for each camper 1 lb. Ground beef 1 egg 1/4 cup milk Season with salt and pepper 2 slices bread, crumbled Tin foil Prepare meatloaf before hand or bring along a bowl or bag to mix together at the campsite. Cut out center of onion or cut onion in half and scoop middle out. Place meatloaf mixture in each onion and wrap in tin foil. Cook in coals 15-20 minutes and flip over once.
