Category Appetizer Recipes

Who says you can’t enjoy multi-course dining at the campground?  While we normally fall back on cheese, cured meats, and fruits for pre-dinner snacking, somedays we pull out the big guns, stoke up the fire, and prepare some tasty appetizers.  Here are some of my favorite appetizers for campground cooking.

Chicken, Mozzarella, And Basil Crescents

Sometimes I can't decide if I want breakfast or lunch. I find Chicken, Mozzarella, And Basil Crescents are a little bit of both.

Do this with all the crescent dough and then bake in the dutch oven until the pastry is golden brown. Enjoy!
