I would like to know more about number 5. Sunrise Breakfast Bowl, and number 13. Curly dogs Please.
Hi Cheryl! I tried answering you a moment ago but maybe because I tried giving you the actual links, the system didn’t like it 🙂
You can learn exactly how to make each item by simply clicking on the blue text “hyperlink” directly beneath each photo. So for #5, click on the “via Tony Spilsbury” and for #13 click on the text that says “via Rhodes Bread”
Enjoy!
Really cool, thanks for sharing
This is a weird mix of things that could be campfire cooked, and things that clearly you need an oven for. sort them better or title them better.
Looks like only #5 would require an oven; everything else would be doable with a campfire or grill.
In fact, you could make #5 with a solar oven or a campfire oven [http://www.trails.com/how_32543_camp-oven.html].
Personally, I can’t wait to try the potato boat.
They all can be done on a campfire. Try it before you hack it!
these sound really awesome and I can’t wait to try these recipes out.
I was trying to say that the 25 campsite recipes sound great and can’t wait to try them sometime.
I like recipe for 6,14.19 please!
Bookmarked this page. Those re some delicious looking recipes.
I’m surprised you didn’t include the Boy Scout dinner, aka tinfoil dinner. Use a half pound of ground chuck for each camper and one baking potato. Lay out tinfoil and place the flattened hamburger in the middle and split the bite-sized cut up potato on either side. Add margarine or butter on top of the potato bites and salt and pepper to taste. Fold the foil from all corners to the center making sure the package is completely sealed. I use two pieces of foil to be sure no air can escape. Cook over campfire 30 to 40 minutes. To check done-ness, open foil pack and taste a bite of potato. If its cooked enough to eat, your meal is ready.
If you’ve never eaten one of these before you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find the hamburger no longer tastes like a hamburger. It tastes more like steak. Simple to make and delicious !
Hey Michael…. I remember that meal from my days as a boy scout, we called it Pocket Stew. We also added onions, carrots, and green peppers to the mix. Add what you like to the mix you can never go wrong.
Damn I am getting hungry now…….
Where do I even FIND tinfoil? Only thing available near here is aluminum foil.
Is there a cookbook with the recipes in it available?
