Individual Mini Pizzas


Ingredients
English muffins
1 jar pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
garlic salt
toppings (black olives, pepperoni, sausage, pineapple, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes)

Spread your muffin with a spoonful or two of pizza sauce and sprinkle on the cheese.  Using a spatula, place it on a grill or in a pan over a hot fire.  When the cheese starts to melt, add your toppings and sprinkle on some garlic salt.  The pizza is ready when the cheese is completely melted.

Pizza Mountain Pie


Ingredients
two pieces of bread
pizza sauce
mozzarella cheese
pizza toppings
Over-the-fire sandwich iron

Butter each piece of bread on one side. Place one piece of bread in one half of the sandwich iron with the buttered side out. Place the sauce, cheese, and other goodies in the middle of the bread and place the second piece of bread over the top, buttered side out. Now clamp the cooker together and lock it. Place the sandwich iron in the hot coals and rotate when you think one side is done.

If you'd rather have a different treat, you can change the filling in your hot sandwich.  Try using ham and cheese to make a hot Ham and Cheese Mountain Pie. Jam or jelly makes an amazing fruit pie.  You can also put peanut butter, marshmallow (cut up in pieces or whole), and a section of a Hershey Bar for a tasty dessert.

Dough Boys


(These old-fashioned treats can be made as a biscuit-like side dish, as a main course, or as dessert.)

Ingredients
hot dog (for a main course), butter (for a side dish), or jelly (for a dessert)
biscuit mix
water

Make up the biscuit dough mix according to the directions on the box or a recipe. 

For a side dish or dessert dough boy, peel the end of a stick and wrap the dough around the peeled end.  Toast the dough over the coals until it's golden brown and cooked all the way through.  Slide it off the stick and fill the cavity with butter or jelly.  Enjoy!

For a main course, peel the end of a stick and skewer a hot dog on it the long way.  Wrap the dough around the hot dog.  Be careful not to put too much dough on or your hot dog will not cook. Toast it over the coals until it's golden brown and cooked all the way through. Enjoy it with ketchup or mustard.
