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!
