know any good camping recipes?

theres all kinds of stuff you can have but my all time favorite is Banana boats, it has a funny name too.

cut a little ditch into the banana (leave the peel on) then you put some choclate peices in there, and then break up a couple marshmellows put those in there and then you wrap it with tin foil, and put it in the fire. you know its done when the marshmellows are starting to melt. you can also put peanut butter on it , if you have it. Also this has really easy clean up, just use the tinfoil as your plate.

also, breakfast burritos are awesome, just make eggs bacon or sausage (or both) some cheese and wrap it in a tortilla You can always add salsa, or sour cream.

If you are up for a challenge try the orange cakes. Get an orange, cut a small hole big enough to get a spoon in on the top and scoop out most the insides then fill it a little under half full with cake batter (white cake batter works best, but others are good too). Wrap the whole thing in tin foil (make sure you keep it right side up) and then put it in the fire. It will be done when the cake mix is cooked. Its fun, and the only thing you have to clean up afterwards is the bowl for the batter and the spoon, no plates.
 
They are called pan steaks. They are beef cut real thin. Add a potato, corn, peas, carrots, whatever you like. Cut the steaks into small pieces. In a piece of aluminium foil place meat, sliced potatoes, corn peas, and carrots. Add a pat of butter and two teaspoons of water. Fold aluminium foil to make a sealed package.. Place on grill turning to get everything done.Should take about a half hour.. Open foil and slide onto plate. Use paper plates, no dishes.

Well when i backpack, bring lots of pasta. Its an easy meal to prepare and gives you much energy with necessary carbs. Variations are mac and cheese, you can get powdered alfredo/pesto etc. Protien is necessary! Get summer sausage that doesnt need to be refrigerated. Even if it does, it can last a few days and be perfectly fine. Ramen extreme is always amazing when camping. Take ramen, and put it in a bowl with some powdered mashed potatoes and cheese. Pour the hot water over and let it sit till the noodles are cooked. Doesnt sound o appetizing now, but in the backcountry, it was the best meal i ever ate. You can make "backcountry thanksgiving". Mix powdered mashed potatoes, uncooked stuffing, powdered gravy and canned turkey. Pour hot water and let sit for a few minutes. These are always better than they sound in the backcountry. Just make sure you bring some veggies and you can add them to any pasta dish. But pasta dishes are always an easy, quick, and delicious meal. Hope this helps!
 
Campfire Stew

1lb cubed beef
4-6 red russet potatoes
6 stalks celery
6 carrots
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Butter or good margarine
Tin foil

Take a 12"x12" square of tin foil and smear butter on it.
Slice the celery and carrots and potatoes into bitesize pieces.
Place one serving of meat, potato, celery and carrot on in the center of the tin foil.
Sprinkle with Garlic salt and pepper
You may want to add about one more tablespoon of butter right in the center of the food - this will help minimize sticking.
Tightly wrap the tin foil so no air can get in and the butter cannot leak out.
You may want to double wrap in another piece of tin foil to be safe.
Throw the packet into the hot coals of a campfire.
In about 25 to 35 minutes, it will be done.
Be careful opeining the tin foil to avoid burns.

Enjoy!

Potsie Pies (That's what we call 'em anyway...)

Go to a camping store and buy some "sandwich irons) - they split in half to hold a slice of bread in each. You use them to make pocket style sandwiches.

Loaf of white bread
Margarine or butter

Now, this is the fun part - for pizza, you can have any pizza ingredient that you want, like sauce, Mozz cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, green pepper, etc.

For Rueben, you need corned beef, sauerkraut, provolone cheese and thousand island dressing.

For dessert, you can use cherry, blueberry or apple pie filling.

I personally like chicken. Dice and cook some chicken breast ahead of time and take it along in a ziplock bag. Season it to taste (I like Cajun seasoning) and also some cheese.

How to make the sandwich...

Make sure your fire is hot embers and not a raging flame.

Butter two slices of bread on one side.
Take the sandwich maker apart.
Put each slice of bread in the half that's open
Buttered side to the sandwich maker.
Fill one slice of bread with indredients of your choice.
Careful not to get it too full
Close sandwich maker
They usuall have a handle lock on the of some sort.
Stick the sandwich maker in the hottest part of the fire
In about 5 to 7 minutes, you have a hot, melty meal!

WE love 'em!
