Camp Cooking Tips

By Amy (Guest Post)

Check out the Girl and Boy Scout websites, they have a bunch of great recipees. We do banana boats, brown sugar apples and lots more. Breaks up the monotiny of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs. Also try meatloaf patties. Mix your hamb the same as for a meatloaf and lightly patty into hamburger shaped patties. Peel and quarter potatoes and lay three or four slices on top of each patty. Wrap up in heavy duty foil and grill for about 45 minutes or so.

We just came back from our yearly camping trip. We cooked on both the campfire and a single burner propane stove. We made corn on the cob (dampen and wrap in heavy duty foil and set right in the hot coals for about 40 min or so), BBQ chicken, bratwurst, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon and eggs and pudgie pies (butter the outside of two pieces of bread and fill with whatever you want and put the pie iron right in the fire. We did pizza sauce with a slice of velveeta cheese). The possibilities are endless.
One pot meals are ideal for the single burner. Hamburger Helper or macaroni and cheese come to mind. We also took little fruit cups from the dollar store for the kids and of course marshmallows. One idea for smores is to forego the graham crackers and chocolate bars and just use Fudge Stripe cookies and smoosh the marshmallow between those. Happy camping!!

 Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap on outside of pot before using on a open flame. When you are cleaning it the black burn marks will come right off.
