For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Ah, there's nothing like waking up in the wilderness, with the smells and sounds of bacon sizzling over a campfire. But if you're the bread winner and provider of the family, nothing will wake you from your sound sleep except the sound of your hungry family, begging to be fed. Not to worry, with these easy campfire cooking recipes, it will be a breeze, and soon you'll be sizzling with success.

*Smoky Bacon Wraps

1 lb bacon
16 oz mini smoked sausage links
1 cup brown sugar

Directions: Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap each mini-sausage link in a strip of bacon. Spread brown sugar over the bacon/sausage pieces. Place in foil-lined cast iron cooking skillet, dutch oven, or a heavy baking pan if you don't have any cast iron pots. Place on hot coals and cook for 30-40 minutes. (If you're making this recipe in an oven, bake at 400 degrees for the same amount of time).

*Ham and Hashbrown Casserole

2 lbs frozen hashbrowns, thawed
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup melted butter
16 oz sour cream
2 cups cubed ham
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions: Combine all ingredients except cheese. Mix well. Place in foil-lined heavy baking dish or dutch oven. Sprinkle cheese on top, and depending on how hot the campfire is, cook until hot and bubbly (approximately one hour).

Of course, you can always simply cook up bacon and eggs, and it will be much appreciated without making a big fuss, but your family will love you for going the extra mile. The right campfire cooking recipes will add variation to plain and simple recipes, and once you master the skill of fire cooking, you're good to go.

For the vegetable lovers in your group, you can't go wrong with throwing some vegetables on the fire, any time of day. Corn on the cob is a campfire favorite, though for some it doesn't go down good for breakfast. But you can always whip up an omelet, adding celery and carrots and salt and pepper to taste. Other good breakfast vegetables include red and green peppers and onions.

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to cooking over a fire, other than making sure to carefully watch the food as it cooks, and making sure it's not scorching. You might also have to move the pot or pan frequently, to ensure it is evenly cooking.

For those of you who have Pudgy Pie makers, you can dazzle your happy campers with a nice breakfast dessert. No recipe is necessary to do this, simply place 2 slices of bread inside, and some of your favorite fruit pie filling in the middle. You can always drizzle some frosting or powdered sugar over the top to sweeten the deal. Hmmm!
