The best thing about warmer weather is that it means a lot more time outdoors! It also means family time, and weekends spent camping. These 5 Appetizing, Foil-Wrapped Campfire Recipes are a must-try this camping season! 

5 Appetizing, Foil-Wrapped Campfire Recipes

I love foil-wrapped campfire recipes! Not just because they are yummy and convenient when food prepping and packing for a camping trip, but also because they make for easy clean-up, and leftover storage… That is, if you even have any leftovers–because these recipes are delicious!

Cheesy Fries

I don’t know about you, but French fries are a family favorite. We don’t have them too often, but when we do, they’re cheesy! 

Shopping List:

• Bag Frozen Crinkle-Cut French Fries
• 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
• 4 slices American Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons Bacon Bits
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Aluminum Foil

Instructions:

• In a saucepan, melt butter.
• Add frozen french fries, until coated.
• Next, using 1 or 2 slices of aluminum foil, create a boat for the fries.
• Layer the fries in the foil, and fold in all sides of foil, leaving the top slightly open.
• Then, place on grill, or in the oven, at 400° for 20-30 minutes. Stir at least once.
• Once the fries are cooked or crispy, top with cheese until it’s completely melted.
• Sprinkle with bacon and salt and pepper if needed.

Campfire Veggies

Nothing beats freshly roasted veggies! Pair with burgers and hot dogs, or enjoy them alone!

Shopping List:

• 1 cup Red or Green Bell Peppers, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 cup Red Onion, chopped
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt
• Chop 1 cup of Red Potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence seasoning
• Chop 1 cup of Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Carrots, chopped

Instructions:

• Heat grill or oven to 400°.
• Place all veggies into a bowl, and drizzle with olive oil.
• Mix in salt and Herbes de Provence seasoning until all veggies are coated.
• Place veggies on aluminum foil squares, and fold in to create a packet.
• Place on grill, or in oven, for 8-10 minutes on each side of the packet.
• To check the veggies, peel back one of the folds and check the potatoes. If the potatoes are done, the rest of the veggies should be done.

Grilled Chicken Nachos

When I was a kid, one of my favorite dinners was my Mom’s homemade nachos that we would have occasionally (usually on Friday night). This camping-friendly version is awesome! 

Shopping List:

• Tortilla Chips
• 1 cup Rotisserie Chicken, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions:

• Heat grill or oven to 400°.
• Cut a square of aluminum foil and create a boat.
• Add tortilla chips to the bottom of the foil.
• Top with chicken and cheese.
• Put on grill or oven for 15-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted through.
• Remove and add chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and avocado.
