These cheesy potatoes from Delish.com are so good, even non-campers love them.

Campfire Potatoes

lb. mini Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered

olive oil

garlic powder

oregano

Kosher salt

black pepper

c. mozzarella

c. Parmesan

parsley,

red pepper flakes,

I make these all the time! Love them. But I always have to precook them in the microwave first to soften them up. Then they dont take very long in the oven or on the grill.

Would have liked to have them work. I baked them in the oven at 425 for about 40 minutes and still too hard to eat.  15 minutes was not even close. Try 425 for an hour.  Well that was my experience.

I made 2 batches of these tonight as they were such a hit!  After reading the reviews; I was concerned about cooking time and put them on the grill way before our steaks.  As it turns out--there was no need for any concern.  I substituted with red potatoes & cheddar cheese, and eliminated the parmesan. The first batch was grilled 10 minutes each side and was fine, but definitely into the roasted range.  I did the second batch at 8 minutes each side, and it was perfect.  These potatoes are an excellent side dish--FAST & EASY.  They are delicious as is or served with sour cream.  Next time, I think that I'll add some cooked bacon to the packets as well.  Definitely, a keeper recipe!

In a small bowl, mix the oats, pecans, apple pie spice, and brown sugar. Add in the softened butter and mix until a crumble forms.

Core

Core the apples and stuff them with the crumble filling.

Mix the filling:

Wrap

Wrap each apple in parchment paper first, followed by 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the wrapped apple over campfire coals, not flames.

Rotate

Bake for 35-45 minutes, rotating about every 10 minutes, so that the apple cooks evenly. Add in fresh coals from the fire as needed.

For Campfire Coals Cooking:

Line

Line the dutch oven with parchment paper and place your stuffed apples inside with the filling facing up so that it doesn&#39;t fall out. Cover with the dutch oven lid.

Place

Place campfire coals below and on the lid of the dutch oven. Note: You want most of the heat to be on the lid.

Bake

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the apples have softened.

For Dutch Oven Cooking:

Remove

Once the apples are cooked, remove them from the heat. If you cooked the apples in foil, be careful as you open them because they will be hot!

Top with a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Serve hot and enjoy!

Take your Dutch oven cooking to the next level with this simple classic beef meatloaf, topped with tangy glaze.

Dutch Oven Meatloaf

bread crumbs

milk

½ pounds (680 g) beef

egg (lightly beaten)

½ medium onion (grated (about ⅓ cup))

Worcestershire sauce

ketchup

yellow mustard

Prepare hot coals or embers for Dutch oven cooking. You&#39;ll need to start with 24 coals. They&#39;re ready to use when they&#39;re glowing and covered in white ash.

Soak

In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the milk and stir together. Let soak for 5 minutes.

Add the beef, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and use your hands to mix everything thoroughly.

Shape

Shape the mixture into a 5-by-7-inch rectangle (about 1 1/2 inches tall) on a piece of parchment paper. Use the sides of the parchment to lift the meatloaf into the Dutch oven, then cover with the lid.

Place the Dutch oven in the fire pit and arrange 8 coals below it and 16 on the lid. Cook for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, begin preparing another batch of coals.

Make the meatloaf

While the meatloaf is cooking, mix the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together in a medium bowl.

Brush

After the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes, uncover it and brush it all over with the glaze.

Cover the Dutch oven and arrange a new batch of hot coals (8 on the bottom and 16 on the lid). Cook until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Rest

Remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Use the parchment to remove the meatloaf from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
