Grilled Nachos

This recipe really is that simple! I like this dish because it works great with leftover taco meat. Or you can the meat ahead of time and can heat up easily in the dutch oven.

Campire Nacho Toppings

The toppings for these nachos are endless. Other toppings that pair nicely are black beans, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa. 

I enjoy cooking over the campfire. Especially when the weather is gorgeous. This beef stew recipe is a great hearty recipe, cowboy grilled cheese is a crowd pleaser and queso is a great late night snack while sitting around the bonfire.

Have you cooked over an open fire? What’s your favorite recipe?
