  2. Heat baked beans in a pot over the fire, stirring occasionally until warmed through and fragrant.
  3. Prepare your potato salad ahead of time at home, storing it in a cooler to keep it fresh.
  4. For fresh corn on the cob, boil it in a pot over the campfire until tender, usually around 10 minutes.
  5. To make kebabs, skewer chunks of meat and vegetables. Grill them over the fire until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Notes

Bring a portable grill for more cooking options and use foil packs for easy clean-up. If dietary restrictions exist, consider plant-based alternatives.
