E is for Eating!

Well, we have to do it, we might as well make it good!


I love cooking over a campfire!  I'm going to share a few good and easy campfire eats! 


My first one is the "Walking Taco", seriously the easiest thing you can possibly make.  We will be making this one at the Badlands where we cannot have an open flame.


Walking Tacos


Ingredients:
Small Bags of Chips: Fritos and Cheese Doritos taste the best
Preference of meat: chicken and ground beef are the easiest, seasoned to taste
Shredded Lettuce
Cheese
Sour Cream
Taco Sauce of your choice (I'm going to utilize all those extra Taco Bell sauce packets that accumulate in my kitchen)

For time sakes and convenience, I am going to prepare and cook the meat ahead of time and keep it frozen in the cooler.  We will warm it up on the camp stove.


The only things you need to do is open the bag of chips, put all of the toppings and meat in there, then enjoy.  Easy as pie....wait, did you say pie?  Okay, our next recipe is more of cake, but you saw where I was going there....right?


Apple Pie Dump Cake


Ingredients:
A box of yellow or white cake mix
One can of lemon-lime soda (I like Sprite!)
Two cans of apple pie filling


You will need a Dutch oven and aluminum foil


First things first, get that fire going with some nice glowing coal.


Line your Dutch oven with aluminum foil.  This makes easier clean up and disposal.


Pour the two cans of apple pie filling into the bottom on the Dutch oven.


In a bowl, mix the cake mix and sprite together.


Pour that over the apple pie filling. 

Place the Dutch oven, with the lid on, in the fiery bed of coals.  If you are using charcoal, you can place a couple of bricks on the top.


Check on it in about thirty minutes,  if it's not cooked entirely through, keep checking it every 10 minutes or so.


Now, share with all your friends that will come visit because of the awesome cake smell!


Campfire Pizza


At the store this past weekend I found a flat cast iron pan.  I feel I really need to make a pizza on this.  Campfire pizza!  yes, please.


It's pretty simple:
Get your pizza dough, spread it out, prep all the pizza prepping things and put on all those yummy toppings.


Warm up the flat cast iron skillet for around 20 minutes.  Before putting your pizza on, you will need some high heat oil to place on it.  Once the oil is on, put your pizza very carefully on there and watch the wonderful baking occur..

Here are some other items I am planning on us making:

Chili and hotdog night

Cinnamon Rolls

Jambalaya

Campfire Cones

French Toast

Grilled cheeses and soups

Spaghetti and garlic bread

Orange Brownies

Hamburgers, fries and corn
