Southern Flavor Returns: Cracker Barrel Introduces 3 New Summer Dishes, Alongside 2 Favored Classics
A Fresh Take on Cracker Barrel's Campfire Meals
Fire up your taste buds! The much-anticipated return of Cracker Barrel's Campfire Meals has graced our dining tables once more. After a seven-year absence, these timeless comfort dishes are back, and they've brought some fresh flavors to the campfire party.
These traditional delights are skillfully prepared, just as if seared over an open flame. The magic happens in a good ol' cast-iron skillet or nestled in protective foil—straight out of a wilderness cookout.
Campfire Meals were once cherished as seasonal traditions at Cracker Barrel but vanished from the menu a few summers ago. Now, you can relive those nostalgic memories through the restored classics that are bound to evoke flashbacks of long, sun-kissed days, according to Sarah Moore, the restaurant's Chief Marketing Officer.
Joining the ranks of the comeback kids are the Campfire Chicken and Campfire Beef, both tenderly slow-cooked in foil with tender corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, carrots, grape tomatoes, and onions, swimming in a buttery broth.
What's really got folks talking, though, is the new S'mores Brownie Skillet. Picture this: crushed graham crackers, a luscious chocolate brownie base, and a topping of roasted marshmallows melted to honey-gold perfection atop a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar. On top of that, you get a generous pile of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It's like summer s'mores, dialed up to ten!
Cracker Barrel has added a new Cinnamon Roll Skillet to the lineup too—warm mini cinnamon rolls baked to golden perfection in cast iron with a gooey cinnamon filling, then finished off with sweet cream cheese icing.
For campfire enthusiasts who can't get enough of that smoky flavor, Cracker Barrel's Old Country Store is the place to stock up. Grab one of their Lodge cast-iron skillets to cook your own campfire fare and jars of their signature Campfire Seasoning spice blend to elevate your home-cooked meals. So, it's time to plan your ultimate summer camping trip! Enjoy the Cracker Barrel Campfire experience at home or on-the-go.
