Post your Camp Recipe's

[Super Doody]

Although I've experience some of the finest cusines in San Francisco, when it comes to camping I'm pretty simple type of guy.


Breakfest: Bacon and scrambled eggs in pita bread with shredded cheese. No forks or plates need.

Trail snack: spam with saltines and fig newtons. (boy scout days )

Easy dinner: Make mac and cheese and mix with on can of chilli.


Apitizer: shrimp wrapped with bacon. Super easy to grill fast and shrimp is always tendered from the pork fat.

I try to eat as much veggies and fruit too. I usually bring more bell peppers, onion, squash than lettuce and tomatoes.

Trade Joes preseason carne asada was pretty damn good. Even some mexicans like the season on my recent baja trip. It was quick and easy and preservatives taste like you get with other brand of pre seasoned meat.

Drunken Tomatoes

Tried the drunken tomato reciepe last night; I actually had some questions on that. They turned out pretty well, but I think I could have prepared them better! First, how much tequilla have you added in the past? I think we (Sean and I) might have added too much. Second, how long did you look it for after you added the tomatoes? Thanks, they were great, but I wasn't totally clear on some of the details!

I eagerly await the reply - welcome, cinemakatie, too - nice to see more ladies posting here. Drunken Tomatoes sounds very wonderful. Must go back and find the recipe and try it!

Is there such a thing as too much Tequilla :chowtime:

I have only tasted Scott's TT's while in Baja, so I would not notice the extra zing

Tequila Tomatoes:

Cherry tomatoes, cleaned and stemmed
Tequila
Salt and Pepper
Pine Nuts
Cilantro
Olive Oil

Roast the pine nuts in olive oil (1/4 cup) until browned. Add tomatoes and begin to warm. Add tequila and cilantro. When hot (not cooked, you want them to be semi-firm) add salt and pepper to taste.

I tried this one while out last week. The entire crew of 9 went nuts! Thanks for sharing the recipe..it's a great one. Easy and tasty. :clapsmile

No clean up meat pie

I make these at home and just plop them in the fire in the woods. There is virtually no clean up.

Ingedients
pie tin
foil
hamburger
campbell's condensed mushroom soup
Instant mash popatoes
velvetta cheese
onion
crushed red pepper to taste

Prepare at home
Chop onion and mix into hamburger with crushed red pepper
Press raw hamburger mix into a pie tin to ~1/2" thick
Cover hamburger with a thin layer of condensed mushroom soup
Prepare instant mashed potatoes and poor over the hamburger, I usually make the potatoes ~1/2" thick
Place a slice(s) velvetta cheese on top and wrap the pie tin with foil.
I put the prepped meal in a ziplock for storage

Cook
Place the pie tin directly on a nice bed of coals. It'll cook in 10-15 minutes. It is important to keep the hamburger thin so that it cooks thru. Pull it out of fire with a leatherman. The pie tin doubles as a plate. I put the pie tin back in ziplock and take it home to wash, I can usually get 2-3 uses before the pie tin deteriorates.

I've experimented with pie tin cooking for other meals, but meat pie is my favorite. It is best on cold days or right before a nap

Al,

Forgot to tell you that my wife and I were inspired by your recipie and tried a variation on this last trip. We did it like this:

Ingredients
pie tin
foil
hamburger
1 can mixed veggies
1 can creme of chicken soup
1 package of instant mashed potatoes
Spices

We cooked it all in camp. We put the raw meat in the pie plate and let it brown and drained the excess liquid/fat. While cooking the mashed potatoes seperately, we added the vegies and soup mix to the meat. We would have used a veggie creme soup but I have a mushroom allergy and we didn't think celery would taste right. Once it was all mixed together and hot, we plopped a bunch of mashed potatoes on top.

Basically it was a quasi shephards pie - very tasty I might add. In all it made way too much food. We ended up keeping almost 1/3 of it for a campfire snack.

Homemade pizza: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=2127037&postcount=61


Trader Joe's dough...a ton of variations...sliced precooked meat/sausage, thinly sliced fresh mushrooms, pre-grated cheese, atop of pizza sauce in a jar...looks like it would be time consuming and messy to prepare cleanup...but NOT!

I've had those before and they are one of the easiest breakfasts to make while I've had out in the wild.

Rather than eating at a restaurant we prefer to buy the ingredients at the open market and create the local dishes on our own on our campstove...

Here are some of the better attempts:

Cao Lau in Hoi An, Vietnam:



Rice Noodles with Tofu and Vegetables in Thailand:




Stir Fry in Bangkok:



Amanda's Father's Guacamole: I forget where this was:

I tried this last week...great! Thanks for the tip about cutting into wide strips then grilling!

:iagree:

I like adding some meat to it though - usually a sliced turkey pep.
