Whether you're outside by a fire or you're craving the reminder of summer bonfires while inside, these 7 Fireside Recipes are best enjoyed in the company of others.

Lean back in your chair. Gaze into the dance of the campfire. Listen to the crackling. Let the smoky aroma fill your nostrils. When you get hungry, place a packet of Fireside Stir Fry over the open flame and let the crispy yet tender green beans and the rosy, juicy steak cook to perfection in a sweet, tangy marinade. Even if you don't have a campfire at the ready, this summertime meal can be made on the grill with the same delicious results (just less nature-filled ambiance); Fireside Stir Fry is a delightful dish for one that proves that cooking just for yourself can be just as adventurous and exciting as cooking for a whole party!

Pull up a chair. Listen to the crackle of the flames in the hearth. Let the delicious flavors in a bowl of Fireside Stew warm you, body and soul.

When served over homemade mashed potatoes, Fireside Stew is homegrown comfort in a bowl.
