    Camping Farmers Breakfast Recipe –

    6 medium potatoes (I use red)
    8 slices bacon
    1 medium onion, diced
    6 eggs
    salt and pepper
    butter
    parsley (optional)

    Cook potatoes with their skins in boiling salted water until done.
    Cool, peel or leave skins on, cube or slice.
    Cut bacon in small pieces and fry on medium heat to desired crispness. Drain on paper towel.
    Add aprox. 2 tbls. butter to the bacon fat and fry onions until transparent.
    Add the potatoes to the pan with the onions and fry until crust forms. Return bacon.
    Crack the eggs into the potatoes and scramble them around with everything. Salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt, since the bacon is salty. Finish with parsley.
    Good as a side dish, breakfast of course, or as a main meal for 2 with a green salad.
    Cook time is after the potatoes have cooled.

    Quick Camping Pies Recipe –

    1 can refrigerated biscuits
    1 can pie filling, your choice
    oil (for frying)
    powdered sugar

    Pat each biscuit flat with your fingers.
    Place about 1 TBS filling on half of each biscuit.
    Fold over and seal edges.
    Fry in skillet in about 1/2 inch oil, until brown on both sides.
    This works good in a cast iron skillet over the campfire, but works just as well on the grill or the stove.
    Drain slightly and roll in powdered sugar.

    1/4 teaspoon thyme

    You can make hobo pies. They are 2 pieces of bread and pie filling. Than there is this thing you us you can purchase at sporting goods store. I don’t have any idea what it is called but you can also make grilled cheese and other things in it. It is 2 piece thing that lock together (Sorry). You can also do pop corn with a pop corn popper for camp fires. It is tricky to get it so it doesn’t burn but it is fun.

    we go camping allot , we always have eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast. They have this thing at walmart you put your bread on and put over the fir(bot a huge fir just hot coals) that toast your bread, it like 2.00. get pre cooked bacon and then you just have to heat it up. snacks, let them cook a hot dog over the fire, or throw thin chicken strips on foil, over the fire on a grate, deserts, We cook this instead of s’mores.
    INGREDIENTS:
    4 bananas
    mini-marshmallows
    mini-chocolate chips
    PREPARATION:
    Slice the bananas from end to end. Leave the peel on. Open the banana a little. Place mini-marshmallows and mini-chocolate chips in the banana. Wrap the banana in foil and place around the outside of the fire.

    cook for about ten minutes, take them off the fire and let them cool for a few, when you open them the marshmallows and choc will be melted. They are really good.

    Have fun and good luck!
