Campfire Classics 🍳

Because everything tastes better in the great outdoors.

I love camping season because it means I get to recreate all my favorite dishes in the great outdoors. For some reason, everything seems to taste exponentially better when I'm surrounded by chirping birds, fresh air, and lush, green trees. If you're ready to test out this theory, grab your tent and skillet and get ready to try out our favorite camping recipes!  You can do a lot with a can of pizza dough and a campfire, like make these cheesy hot dogs. This works perfectly with shredded cheese or sliced sandwich cheese, too.   The secret to the perfect ooey gooey grilled cheese sandwich? Mayonnaise! Seriously. Slather on a generous amount of mayonnaise on the skillet-side of each slice of bread, and watch as it fries into a perfect golden brown. When the cheese starts melting, your sandwich is ready to be enjoyed. Waking up to warm, fluffy cinnamon rolls dripping with icing is a heavenly way to start the day. And it's no different when you're out camping. Fortunately for you, these peaches and cream cinnamon rolls are easy to bake on a skillet over a campfire. Just cook them over moderate heat for up to 30 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through.  Corn on the cob is the perfect, low-effort camping snack that requires zero cutlery. To successfully grill this parmesan grilled corn, leave the husk on, and turn it often to avoid over-burning. When it's done, brush it with garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and get ready for a cheesy treat. These steak fajita skewers made of juicy bites of steak and sliced vegetables will hit the spot after an hour spent trying to set up your tent. Remember to assemble the skewers ahead of time so that when you're ready to eat, all you have to do is build a fire. There are several options for boozing in the outdoors. You can either pack giant, oversize cubes that'll take longer to melt, cool your drinks in cold streams, or, my favorite option: Simply make a cocktail that tastes great at room temperature. Like this sweet and juicy whiskey peach, for instance.  Grilled shrimp tacos are always a good, no-fuss camping lunch idea. Add avocado slices for extra creaminess or sliced jalapeños for some heat.
