Craft Three Recipes At The Scout Fire
Scout fires are a great way to enjoy a camping trip with family and friends. Apart from the usual hot dogs and marshmallows, you can also cook delicious meals over the fire. Here are three easy-to-make recipes that you can try out during your next camping trip:
1. Foil-wrapped chicken and vegetables
This is a simple yet delicious meal that can be prepared in under an hour. First, cut chicken breasts into small pieces and season them with salt, pepper, and any other herbs you prefer. Then, chop up your favorite vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. Place the chicken and vegetables on a large piece of foil and wrap it tightly. Place the foil pack on the hot coals and cook for 30-40 minutes. Once done, open the foil pack and enjoy!
2. Campfire chili
This hearty meal is perfect for chilly evenings around the campfire. Start by browning ground beef in a large pot over the fire. Add chopped onions, peppers, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender. Then, add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of kidney beans, and your favorite spices such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Let the chili simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with cornbread or crackers.
3. Grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream
This sweet treat is a perfect way to end a meal around the campfire. Cut peaches in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut side with a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar. Grill the peaches for a few minutes on each side until they are caramelized and tender. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
These three recipes are easy to prepare and are sure to impress your fellow campers. Remember to always practice fire safety and follow campfire guidelines. Happy cooking!
