There is nothing more fun to do in the summer than having a campfire!Our whole family loves campfires, so during the summer we usually have at least one every weekend when we’re home! We have even more when we’re spending the weekend camping or at the lake. I thought I’d put together a fun Foodie collection of great family campfire recipe ideas to share with you. If you want to check out the complete recipe, you can check out my Campfire Recipe Ideas Collection at Foodie, or by clicking on the image in the slider here:
There is nothing better than food cooked over an open campfire! It’s definitely worth the fuss, even though most campfire recipes don’t take any more preparation or fuss than regular cooking!
This collection includes a wide variety, from breakfast to a late night snack! Some of our favorites include:
Campfire pie recipes~ We love making these every weekend! They’re so fun for the kids to make, and so easy! Just add your favorite filling and grill over the open flames in a pie iron.
Campfire corn on the cob~ This is one of our favorite ways to have corn on the cob! We soak ours in water, then add spices and grill right in the husk!
Pizza on the campfire~ We’ve done pizza on the grill quite a few times, but we’ve never done pizza on the grill, definitely going to have to give this a try!
Canned Biscuit Campfire Doughnuts~ OK, so we’ve never tried this one either, but we’ll definitely be giving it a try in the next few weeks! Sounds yummy!
Brownies and cinnamon rolls in an orange~ Such a genius idea! You can cook these on the open campfire, and there are no dishes to do afterward! Love it! Who knew?
Campfire macaroni and cheese~ My son’s always all in for this one! He loves mac and cheese however he can get it!
Breakfast over the campfire? ~ There’s sausage and potatoes, red potato hash, and breakfast potatoes, just add eggs and you’re good to go for a day of camping!
What’s your favorite campfire recipe? We’d love to hear it!

We recently kicked off the summer with our first camping trip of the season. One of the couples we camped with had a pie iron and I instantly fell in love.
We awed them with fajitas over the campfire in the disco that my husband built. Perks of living on a farm we have tons of extra discs around.
Starburst Candy. Unwrap a piece, skewer it with a stick, and let it get warm and gooey before popping it in your mouth or squishing between two Vanilla wafers.
Grilling steaks and burgers, smoking brisket, and cooking beef kabobs over open fire are just a few of the classic ways to prepare beef outside. Whether you are in your backyard, tailgating, or at a campsite, nothing delivers on the anticipation of a meal cooked outdoors like Black Angus beef.
BARBECUE: Usually used generally to refer to grilling done outdoors or over an open charcoal or wood fire. More specifically, barbecue refers to long, slow direct- heat cooking, including liberal basting with a barbecue sauce.
Flank steak is a long and thin cut of beef, so it doesn't take forever to cook which means it's perfect for camping. Grill the steak for 3 to 5 minutes per side and serve it up with a side of beans—it's that easy!
Here are some suggestions to get you started at home:
Hotdogs. This is a traditional staple of any campfire cook, but Turner suggests taking them up a notch by poaching your sausages before cooking them over the charcoal. ...
Simply place the wieners on a stick, and roast over the fire until they are browned. It's that easy! For hot dogs, make sure you have buns and your favorite topping available nearby for convenience.
Used dried fruit (apricots, sultanas or similar) to make a ring for your campfire to be built in. To make sure your fire is safe you will need a fire bucket (glass of water). Make sure your hair is tied back and clothes are not a risk. Use pretzels, dried banana chips, carrot sticks, or similar.
When cooking over high heat, especially an open flame, you are exposed to two main carcinogens: heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Studies show HCAs and PAHs cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer.
Slide bite-sized pieces of vegetables (green and red peppers, onions, zucchini), fruit (cherry tomatoes, pineapple, mango) and meat (steak, pork, chicken, shrimp) onto the skewers that you place a few inches above the coals until everything is cooked. It should take 10-15 minutes.
