Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 personal-sized pre-made pizza crusts
• 1 cup tomato pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red, green, and yellow)
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• Olive oil (for greasing foil packets)
• Dried oregano and basil (to taste)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the campfire or preheating a grill to medium-high heat.
2. Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface and lightly grease them with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Place each pizza crust on a separate sheet of foil.
4. Spread a generous spoonful of tomato pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese atop the sauce, ensuring a good coverage all around.
6. Layer the toppings: start with pepperoni slices, followed by bell peppers, and then mushrooms.
7. Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and basil over each pizza for additional flavor.
8. Carefully fold the edges of the foil sheets over the pizzas, creating secure packets. Ensure there’s some space inside the packets for steam to circulate.
9. Place the foil packets on the hot grill or over the hot campfire embers. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Once cooked, carefully open the foil packets to let the steam escape and allow the pizzas to cool slightly before serving.

Helpful Tips

• To avoid burning, use a heat shield or place the packets on a grill rack over the campfire.
• If you prefer, you can use other toppings such as olives, onions, or spinach.
• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pizza crusts.

Storage Instructions

While this recipe is best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat on the grill or in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Suggested Pairings

Complement your campfire pizza with a fresh green salad, a side of roasted vegetables, and a chilled lemonade or sparkling water. For dessert, consider roasting marshmallows or making campfire s’mores to keep the fun going!
