Re: Simple hot camp meals?
Hi Connie,
You mentioned in your first post that you only have a camp stove. While searching for recipies, don't forget the camp fire. We almost always have one going during the day & my favorite way of cooking in camp is w/ a black cast iron skillet & w/ a dutch oven right in the fire pit. We've made everything from breaksast tacos in the morning, stew & camp corn bread for lunch & peach cobbler or cake for dessert.
And one of our favorite side items for dinner are baked potatoes. We always make them by digging a hole, lining it w/ some hot rocks taken off the camp fire, putting the foil wrapped potatoes in the hole & covering it w/ more hot rocks.
The dutch oven is probably the most versitle cooking item we own. Its great for making soups & stews & it does a great job at baking. If you want to get one be sure to find one w/ legs on it and the lid needs to have a flat top w/ a ledge around it. Don't get one w/ a dome shaped lid. This is important when using it to bake. The flat top allows the chef to put charcoal on top of it so it will heat from the top also. Academy carries one by Forge that's good.
Good luck & enjoy your trip.
