My family loves to camp, but are tired of the same old hamburgers and hot dogs grilled over a campfire. Any suggestions? I would like recipes for main dish and also breakfasts, please. Thanks!
Pocket Stew…. Take diced potatos, carrots, onions, canned mushrooms, skinless boneless chicken or beef, spoon of butter, salt, pepper, garlic, seasoning salt. Wrap all in tinfoil and throw on the fire grate or in the coals. Make sure to wrap tightly! This is fun because everyone can make thiers the way they like it and leave out what they dont like!
Also subs…make your favorite kind of sub sandwich wrap in tinfoil and heat over fire. Also can be used to make breakfast sandwiches…put ham and cheese on english muffins wrap in tinfoil and bake over the fire.
Another great thing is if you can find some Hobo Pie-irons you can make all sorts of cool sandwiches with them and fill with stuff like ham and cheese, eggs. or jam and peanut butter..
Check them out here I recommend them for all campers! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp;jsessionid=VRIJXNL5DK4NZTQSNOFSCO4OCJVY2IWE?id=0031806515113a&navCount=0&cmCat=srchdx&cm_ven=srchdx&cm_ite=srchdx&CM_REF=http%3A%2F%2Fca.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fsearch%3Dhobo%2Bpie%2Birons%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dks-ans%26search_type%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Frds.yahoo.com%252F_ylt%253DArJ12OkodvPMoTC2RuHZFiOzFQx.%252FSIG%253D114db5bg2%252F*-http%253A%252F%252Fca.search.yahoo.com%252Fsearch%26p%3Dhobo%2Bpie%2Birons&_requestid=54112
Another favorite of mine is corn on the cob…leave the husks on and soak overnight in salted water, throw the corn on the coals of the fire until they are cooked!! This is the best corn ever! and it goes good with baked potatoes and hamburger sticks.
Baked potato… take a potato with the skin on and slice it halfway through about 4-5 times fill the cuts with sliced onions and butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper wrap in tinfoil and throw on the coals they are done when you can squeeze them with tongs.
Hamburger sticks… take a pound of ground beef add 2 eggs, garlic, finely diced onions, squirt of mustard and some pepper mix together well. Take a peeled green stick and mold the mixture around the end and roast over the fire.
Make grilled cheese or french toast for breakfast…. Take a forked green stick and spread tinfoil between the 2 tips making it double thick…..hold it over the fire to toast your grilled cheese.
French toast.. beat 2-3 eggs with some milk and vanilla extract, dip bread in mixture making sure it is coated and fry on you tinfoil stick making sure to spray with pam first.
For dessert, Banana Boats…take a banana with the peel still on and slice it on the top curved edge at an angle from both sides ( follow the ridges on the top of banana) peel the slice out leaving the top edge attached and fill the inside of banana with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, replace the strip of banana and skin wrap in tinfoil and throw on the coals. It is done when you can squeeze it with tongs.
Mock Angel food cake.. Take a loaf of unsliced white bread and cut into 2 inch cubes, coat in sweetened condensed milk, roll in shredded coconut, put on a stick and toast over te fire until golden brown. I love this stuff!
