Dinner on the Campfire!

Last night we had a backyard campout. The boys love sleeping in the tent. They also really like to eat food made on the campfire. M just got a Pie Iron for his birthday, so we decided to put it to use. We made pizza sammies. They were pretty tasty! If you don't know what a Pie Iron is - google it! I didn't know what it was until he received it. What a versatile cooking tool. All you need is one of these and a big imagination! We will be making plenty of meals in this, that's for sure (might even have to invest in a 2nd one). Happy camping and happy cooking. Enjoy!



Campfire Pizza Sammies
  • 1  loaf Italian bread, uncut
  • 8 slices (real, not processed) mozzarella
  • 32 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup (ish) pizza sauce
  • Veggies (whatever you like on your pizza - optional)
1. Get your campfire real hot (start it about 30 minutes before cooking). Make sure your pie iron is seasoned, then place in the fire to get hot (about 15 minutes).
2. Slice loaf in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 8 pcs (easier if you put it back together after 1st slice).
3. Take 1/8th of loaf and place a little dollop of pizza sauce on each pc (cut side in). Top with cheese, pepperoni and veggies. Close sandwich, then place in pie iron. Clamp shut and place in campfire. Let cook 1-2 minutes in fire.
4. Remove from pie iron, let cool slightly, serve and ENJOY!
