What is your favorite camp fire recipe?

What foods do you find are easiest to bring when camping? Do you prefer foods that don't require cooking, or those that do? Foods that have to stay cold, or those that don't?

On the first night of camping, my family always demands baked beans and vegi-dogs. We call our vegetarian version weens and beanies. I usually bring a garlic bread loaf (the kind in the foil packages you can put right over the embers.
One item that is good anytime, especially when hiking or swimming and you get the major munchies, is peanuts and raisins. I've taken to using a pound each in a large baggie. We take about five big baggies for camping to make sure they're is enough!

Trail mix is always great; it definately keeps your energy up! My kids love having hot dogs; it's such a classic food for camping. I always bring dried fruit too; pineapple and cranberries are my favorites.

Hot dogs and marshmallows are an absolute must. Smores are a nice perk, too.

We have this dessert where you pull one piece of a banana peel back, scoop out some banana (like a boat would be) then you add little marshmallow and chocolate chips lay peel back over and wrap in foil and put it on fire for a couple of minutes.

Tater, that sounds SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! I am wondering if they can be made on a cast-iron grill at home? Have you tried making them that way?
Does this wonderful treat have a name?

I like to bring some hotdogs, barbeque and marshmallows but I wouldn’t call it as recipe since I’m not preparing them. It is already prepared the moment I go on camping.

anything cooked over the fire, steak chicken, pork or burgers, simple easy no pots or pans to clean.

I agree that the easiest foods to prepare with the least mess are the best! When camping as children, we always had sandwiches for lunch and dinner.
