About
All the campfire classics in one baking dish... well, not s'mores. But you can bring those for dessert! Cowboy Campfire Casserole is the best kind of bean mixture: creamy, hearty, savory, and with plenty of subtle and delicious flavors. Oh, and there's just so much meat packed in. Ground beef, bratwurst, and bacon... maximum succulence achieved! This sweet, tangy, and satisfying main course is old-school, night-under-the-stars eating... but the outdoors are optional!
