I seen the favorite grill item and got to thinking what your favorite camping dish was? could be breakfast lunch or dinner or even desert. I have a few that I like but to start it off is foil babys.
it is pretty simple but allways works well camping. great for the kids also.
get yourself a good bed of coals going. then you make your foil baby.
now what is in a foil baby you say? well pretty much whatever you like to put in em. most are hamburger taters carrots celery mixed veggies and then they are thrown into a foil pouch and cooked till done. normally about 30 minutes. I normally put the following in.
.5lb of hamburger mixed like a meatloaf. add seasoning of your choice but I normally put in montreal steak seasoning. bread crumbs an egg.
red skin taters cut in halves.
onion
a lil garlic
then a shot or two of stubbs moppin sauce wrapped double in reynolds heavy duty foil. put meat in center surrounding it with taters and onions. cook till taters are soft. cut open pouch and ya got a plate to eat out of. clean up is simple also. sometimes I also add brats or sausage. I never add chicken just for safety. but this is a simple meal.
desert. dump cake.
take one standard sized dutch oven.
two boxes of white moist cake mix
the needed ingriedents for cake which normally are 3 eggs per mix veg oil and water. don't worry about the water. tell ya why in a sec.
one 12oz sprite
one can of blueberry pie filling.
brown sugar.
dump in dry contents(except brown sugar) into dutch oven.
dump in eggs, veg oil, pie filling, and sprite.
mix contents till it there are no clumps other then the fruit.
place dutch oven onto a even bed of coals and shovel coals on top. after about 5 minutes pull about 10-15 briquetts to the side and arrange em so they are eaqually spaced under the dutch oven. do the same to the top put about 10-15 briquettes around the top. after another 10 more minutes rotate the lid 90 degs on the dutch oven and then spin the dutch oven 90 deg the opposite way. do this every 15 minutes. check inside the dutch oven. if there is smoke coming out you are burning the bottom and have too much heat reduce the number of briquettes. if it is getting done on top too quick then take some off the top. takes a few to get the hang of it. once toothpic knife or whatever you stick it with comes out clean then take off the coals and take the coals off the top. blow the ash off then sprinkle brown sugar on top of the cake. place lid back on and then wait a few minutes. this should come out like a blueberry muffin.
