I am trying to come up with about 8 different meals that can be cooked over a camp fire that kids would like. So far I have....HotdogsHamburgersKabobsFoil packet mealsAny other ideas of things that don't have a lot of ingredients and appeal to kids?My ulitmate goal is to have one master menu shopping list so that when we are ready to go camping I just have to take my menu and I don't forget anything!~THANKS!~

Quickie pie makers are always a hit.Toasted cheese, pizza, grilled pb&J, real pies, etc, etc...Smax

Pigs in a blanket - put those smores sticks to more use. Inside-out cheeseburgers (just 2 thin patties with cheese sealed between them).A bit more complicated, but meatball subs - brown the meatballs in a disposable foil pan with green/red peppers and onions. Dump some spaghetti sauce in there, let everything warm up and you are set to spoon it on to rolls and add some provolone. Those that don't like peppers or onions just don't need to take any.

Foil packs would be a good one. Let them pick ingredients and if you use smoked sausage or something similar you don't need to worry about them not getting done. My personal touch is to sprinkle dry beef broth powder or Liptons soup mix on everything.I agree, pigs in a blanket. Refrigerated biscuit dough wrapped around a hot dog on a stick and put to fire.

I bought a cheap replacememnt grill grate, one of the round styles. I will prop it over the fire and will cook anything I would grill at home. Our favorite, and has become a tradition, is get a pork loin and slice it in about 1/2 inch slices. Marinated in a gallon ziplock with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and sometimes oregano. Grill about 5-10 minutes a side, the kids love them.

Oh.... some very good ideas!!!With the pig in the blankets... Do you use a hotdog (cut in half maybe) and wrap a raw biscuit around it and cook it with a smore stick? Does the dough cook? Does it take forever?SMAX.... what is a quickie pie maker?
