Whenever I'm camping, cooking over a fire with cast iron goes without saying. Here are some simple and delicious cast iron campfire recipes you can try:
Skillet S'mores
Layer graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows in a cast iron skillet, then heat until the marshmallows are gooey and melted.
Campfire Breakfast Skillet
Fry up some bacon, eggs, and potatoes in a cast iron skillet for a hearty breakfast. This is one of my favorite Simple Cast Iron Recipes. It doesn't get much easier.
Cast Iron Pizza
Top a pre-made pizza crust with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings, then cook in a cast iron skillet until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Cast Iron Dutch Oven Chili
Brown meat, add diced onions, peppers, canned tomatoes, and your favorite chili spices, then simmer in a cast iron Dutch oven until thick and flavorful.
Cast Iron Peach Cobbler
Layer sliced peaches and a batter made from sugar, flour, baking powder, and milk in a cast iron skillet, then bake until golden brown.
