Campfire Breakfast Sausage Wraps

On last weekend's camping trip, we discovered another new recipe that's perfect for the campfire, and it's super easy! The kids loved cooking their own breakfast. This would also work well with hot dogs!

Ingredients
1 package Brown 'n Serve Sausage links
1 can biscuit dough or crescent rolls

Directions

  • Put a breakfast sausage on a stick.
  • Wrap with dough.
  • Cook over the fire until dough is nicely browned, and eat!

Corn and Black Bean Salad

Ingredients
1 can of black beans (drained)
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of mild rotel
1/2 cup grape tomatoes (sliced)
1  lime (squeezed)
chopped cilantro (to taste)
Sliced Jalapenos in their Juice (optional)
Salt (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste)

Directions Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, and voila! You're done! Keeps well (and becomes more flavorful) for several days. Tastes great with tortilla chips or on it's own!

Campfire Ham and Cheese

We just returned home from a great camping trip at Garner State Park, and this trip we planned our food a little differently than usual. We prepared a number of our meals ahead of time, packed them up, and warmed them over the grill or campfire. This recipe based on the recipe from tablespoon.com was one of our favorites!
  • P.S. We hope to make this at home, too! It's not just for the campfire!
  • Ingredients
  • 1  loaf Italian bread (10 to 12 inches)
  • 3  tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1  tablespoon spicy brown or country-style Dijon mustard
  • 6  slices (1 oz each) Muenster cheese
  • 3/4  lb thinly sliced fully cooked ham
  • Directions
  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Spray 25x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray. Without cutting all the way through, cut loaf of bread into 12 (3/4-inch) slices, cutting to within 1/4 inch of bottom. Stir together butter and mustard. Spread every other slice of bread with slightly less than 2 teaspoons mustard mixture, creating 6 sandwiches. Fold each slice of cheese in half diagonally; tuck each into sandwich. Divide ham evenly among sandwiches, tucking in to fit. Place loaf on center of foil. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Place foil-wrapped loaf on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and loaf is hot, turning loaf frequently. To serve, open packet carefully to allow steam to escape. Remove foil from loaf; pull apart sandwiches.
