Open fire dinner sides?

[Bustercluck]

I don’t normally bring a fry pan camping and we try and cook everything on a cheap grill over open fire, but I’m running out of ideas for sides. We usually do pork shoulder steaks, beef steaks, smokies/hot dogs and I’m going to bring some box chicken wings this time.

I always freeze up a bunch of double stuffed potatoes and grab some bag salad, or potato/noodle salad.

What else is out there?

Ears of corn ,soak then onto the fire.

What about bannock bread?

[landphil]

Corn on the cob, silk removed but husk on, wrapped in foil works well over the fire. Mini taters, chopped carrots, with butter and seasonings roasted in a foil package over the fire is great too. These will take a bit longer, and should be flipped regularly.

What about bannock bread?
Do they sell touton dough around bc? It’s a bit of a Newfie thing they sell at Sobeys in fort Mac. Basically a bag of dough ready to bake. It’s super soft and easy to work with.

Red peppers cut into quarters, guts removed and tossed in some olive oil and spices.

[Salix]

Canned potatoes mixed with some Lipton onion soup mix in a tin foil package. We add a bit of the potato water from the can. Potatoes are cooked so just need to warm. The onion soup mix adds a nice flavour and left overs make excellent hash browns the next morning.

roast vegetables in a bbq wok pan. Little oil and steak spice is nice but can use what ever seasoning you like.

Bring one of them silicon BBQ mats to put on half of your grill you use. Grill lotsa veggies on it, those hash brown Patties, stuffed mushrooms etc. they work real good on open fire and help prevent unintentional burning too a crisp

Bannock on a stick followed up with wiener wrapped in bacon.
Fish on a stick
Shish kebabs on a st———
thick stakes cut in long strips is my favourite....... on a s———k
potatoes, peppers, mushrooms, onions, stake or sausage in aluminum foil packets.

[HappyJack]

Pre cooked pork ribs....wrap in foil and warm on the grate.

We do baked potato's and corn on the cob.

[high horse Hal]

Boil-in-bag veggies or rice or taters are an option too
No fuss or spillage, water is ready for cleanup

[Arctic Lake]

KBC. Also if I may add : Quarter up red onion and a melody of coloured peppers ,mushrooms , zucchini . Shake or two of your favourite spice we like the Kirkland Organic No Salt Seasoning .

It may not be a “fire” cooked dinner but my go to easy camp dinner is Sausauges with a pack of uncle bens and stag chili all mixed up.

Get a cast iron pan, your options will open up drastically. I know it's not what you really want to do, but...

I don’t bring a lot of stuff with me so that’s kind of where I draw the line. I have a foreman 500 and a 5 foot tub trailer to pack enough stuff for 5 people. The weight is the killer and drinking water is probably the worst thing I bring. I pump water from the lake for cooking, but drink bottles water.

This is a bit of a game changer though. The kids picked me up this Kelly kettle and hobo stove for Father’s Day this year. We cooked bacon, sausage and those preformed potato patties on the hobo stove and made coffee and noodles with the kettle part. I should’ve brought some onions and stuff to sauté with potatoes. Next time I guess.

I love corn in the husk, just soaked in water and straight on the coals.

But I think I am going to get one of those fire dutch ovens, it's time to eat something with a spoon while out hunting.
Brunswick stew, or chilli, wax beans, goulash etc.
