Most of my early days of camping consisted of only having one pot, one skillet, and a percolator coffee pot. I learned how to cook various meals using only 1 pot or 1 skillet. Here are a few of my recipes I continue to make both at home and at camp.
Loaded Breakfast Skillet:
(Amount of ingredients determined by how many people are eating. I am writing this as a single person meal, so for more people just do the simple math.)
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 large patatoe
1/2 medium onion
1 garlic clove minced
4 strips of bacon (ham, sausage, hot dogs, or other meat can be substituted)
Green peppers
1/4 cup Mushrooms
Salt
Pepper
Lowery's season salt (or your favorite brand)
1/4 cup milk (optional)
Shredded cheese
Prepperation:
Start heating the cast iron skillet on low heat
Peal and chop the patatoes into medium sized cubes and set aside
Dice the onion and put with patatoe cubes
Mince the garlic add to patatoes
(Skillet should now be warm)
Add bacon to the skillet and cook until it's about 1/3 the way done, do not drain grease,then add patatoe and onion mixture. Season to taste with salt, pepper and season salt. Cook covered stirring occasionally to keep food from sticking
Scramble eggs, add milk, mushrooms, and garlic.
Once the patatoes are soft and can be cut with a spatula without effort, remove lid and cook another few minutes until patatoes are browned. Add egg mixture and coock just like you would coock scrambled eggs. When eggs are done turn off heat and add shredded cheese. Cover skillet and let sit until cheese is melted.
Serve with toast, or on tortillas with your favorite salsa.
Jack Daniels stew
2 shots Jack
1/4 lbs cube steak
1/2 medium onion
2 medium sized patatoe
1 carrot
1 celery stalk
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salt
Pepper
Waterer
Prepperation:
In Dutch Oven or pot add 1 shot Jack, meat, and seasoning. Brown meat on low heat until Jack Daniels cooks off.
Cut up veggies and add to pot along with patatoes and brown sugar. Fill up pot with water to cover contents of pot.
Bring water to boil and add last shot of Jack. Turn down heat and simmer until patatoes are done.
