Everything tastes
better roasted over an open fire maybe that is why kids campfire
cooking is so popular. Camping can be a great family activity and
something kids will remember throughout their life.
Here
are some outdoor cooking for kids recipes to make your camping trip
extra fun.
Use caution around a campfire. Keep hands and feet away from
fire.
To prevent falling into the fire, don't play around a
campfire.
When cooking on a campfire use long potholders and/or have an
adult help.
When you are done with your kids campfire cooking, make sure
the fire is totally out. Sprinkle water on the fire and stir the ashes
around with a stick.

Outdoor cooking for Kids:
Dinner Time
Chicken Dinner in Tin Foil
Chicken 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.
