Before you plan your next camping trip, pick out a few campfire cooking recipes. A very popular recipe for campers is, of course, s'mores. There are several variations to making s'mores, so take a look at the following ideas, and pick up the supplies at your local store, or at the store nearest the campground you will be going to.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

*Strawberry S'mores:

Cinnamon graham crackers
Strawberry marshmallows
White or milk chocolate candy bar

*Chocolate S'mores:

Chocolate graham crackers
Chocolate marshmallows
Chocolate candy bars

*Peanut Butter S'mores:

Graham crackers
Marshmallows
Peanut butter cups

Now that you have a nice selection of S'mores offerings for your gourmet camping dessert, don't forget to plan a few nice meals with your campfire cooking recipes. Corn on the cob is a very popular campers treat. Soak your corn cobs in a bucket of water for at least 30 minutes. The corn husk holds in all the moisture while your corn cooks on the grill, and prevents the corn from scorching. Depending on how hot your fire is, the corn may cook rather quickly, so keep a close eye on it. Simply take the corn cobs and place on hot coals, and then carefully check it at regular intervals.

Another popular meal in the campfire cooking recipes selection is Poor Man's Supper. Simply lay a piece of foil on your picnic table, place whatever kind of meat you like (it can be hamburger patties, steak, fish or chicken) and place an assortment of fresh vegetables on top, such as celery and carrots. Add salt and pepper, and cook until tender, and meat is slightly pink to well done, or if you're cooking chicken, until the meat is white.

If you're using a dutch oven over your campfire, or if you're cast iron cooking, there are many food choices for that as well. Simply place the pot over the fire, and add the desired ingredients. There are many dutch oven recipes, even for campfires, so choose your recipe's ahead of time, and shop accordingly. You can cook a roast, chicken, fish, chili or whatever you're hungry for. Just make sure you read the instructions for your dutch oven, so you get a basic idea how long to cook the meal for, and how hot of a fire you need.

Even the best gourmet cooks will find that fire cooking is somewhat different from cooking in an oven or on a stove top at home. The main trick to campfire cooking, is evenly distributing the coals for an even heat, to prevent under cooking and scorching.

The best part of campfire cooking, is that hopefully your family and friends have worked up a big appetite after a long day hiking or fishing, and they will eat anything you place in front of them. These kind of people are what we refer to as 'happy campers.'
