Specifically, ones that do not require a Dutch oven. Can I use a disposable baking tin? I would love to cook a cobbler in a tin. Has anyone done this before? I HAVE made "coffee can cake" before, but today’s coffee cans are lined and can’t use those. ALL recipes would be GREAT! Thanks a bunch!
Yolanda, that recipe sounds so yummy, but I just dont want to have to purchase the dutch oven right now. I AHVE cooked meatloaf in a tin, just don’t know about fruit acid eating the tin…lol
Ohhhh, Kellie21..gonna HAVE to do that. Sounds SO good!!
Wow! These ideas and recipes are GREAT! Thank you so much, everyone!
If you buy a dutch oven buy a big one. You will be surprised at the things you can do. Get one with a lip on the lid and legs at least 12" . If you have sattelite tv check out RFD TV and campfire kitchen you will be amazed. Cobbler? One yellow cake mix, one large can of pie filling { what ever kind you like or even a bag of frozen fruit or berries} Line duch oven with tin foil, pour in the prepaired cake mix, pour the fruit or what ever in the center, cover with lid. Pull small amount of coals to the side of your fire sit the oven on them scatter a small amount of coals on top and cook till done. When you check how it is doing a large pair of challel locks will remove the lid for a peek. Breakfast place a few stones in the bottom of the oven fix up the biscuts in a pan like home set them in the oven on top on the stones cover and do the oven the same way.
no utinsels
I don’t know about a cobbler but for breakfast take an orange cut the top out and kinda cut the center out enough room for an egg. Drop in an egg set it directly in the coals of a fire let it cook till the egg is done. The orange will get a little crispy on the outside but the center is great.
Supper
Tin foil good size pice wash and cut potatoes kinda thick lay out on tin foil. Take hamburger and spice it up even like a meat loaf but small enough for one person. The trick is to get everyone to fix their own. Lay it on potatoes lay on a few onions pour on a little cream of mushroum soup. Then cover with potatoes. Pull the sides up and seal it all in tight. Dig a little hole down in your fire drop it in and cover it with coals. Leave it about 20 or so minnuts. The potatoes will get a little scorched on the outside parts but the inside part will be good and everything into the center.
Cooking a steak on the grill and realy want a bake potato with it beleave it or not wrap your potatoes in mud about 3/4" and drop them in the coals and cover about 15 or 20 min. They realy come out tinder and don’t scorch like in tin foil a little tap with a spoon will shatter the mud off with a quick rinse they are ready to go.
A couple of jalapinos with the tops cut off cored from seads stuffed with cream cheese the kind with chives in it rapped with bacon held on with a toothpick grilled along side the steak is great.
What we do is we cut up potatoes, bacon and cheese, we first cook the potatoes and bacon in seperate pans, then we put them together and put cheese all over them and mix it up. Then put some sour cream on top….IT is so so so so so good!
I know you do not want to use a dutch oven, BUT if you line it foil or tin pan you do not get a mess. Wrap a chicken in foil and place it in the foiled dutch oven, potato, carrots, onion, corn …
go to wal mart. buy a round grill grate. just bought one for the season my self.9.95. i knock the fire down to coals.i like to bring my pre marinated steaks and corn on the cob. cook corn right in the husk.my be soak them in water first i also bring welders gloves.they really save your hands.
This recipe is so good, but not very healthy. It can be cooked in a disposable tin. You can make it ahead of time and then just reheat it near the fire, or assemble at camp and bake.
Egg and Sausage Bake
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 pound bulk pork sausage
* 6 large eggs
* 2 cups milk
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* dash ground cayenne pepper
* 3 slices French or Italian bread or other firm white bread, cubed
* 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, about 4 ounces
PREPARATION:
In a large skillet, crumble sausage; brown over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain well, patting with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
In a large bowl beat eggs, milk, and seasonings until smooth and well blended. Stir in the drained sausage and remaining ingredients (bread cubes and shredded cheese). Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 8-inch square baking dish; cover and refrigerate overnight (optional).
Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking time. Bake in preheated 325° oven for 60 to 75 minutes, until eggs are set and lightly browned. A knife inserted near center should come out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serves 4 to 6.
"baggie omlettes" for breakfast:
start a big pot of water boiling over the campfire
give each person a zip lock baggie (the kind with the zipper work best – no leaks!)
break two eggs into each baggie and lightly beat with a fork; let each person add what they like: cooked bacon or sausage, onions, green peppers, etc. Close the baggie and drop it into the boiling water for about 3 to 5 minutes. Simply open the baggie, spoon onto a plate and serve; toss the baggie – no cleanup required!
Take a good sized box. Line it in foil, run coat hanger wire side to side dead center enough to make a pan rack. place the box near the fire open end facing it [I hope this makes sense] place the pan on the rack and poof box oven.
Cinnamon Apples recipe;
core apples
fill center with red hots
double wrap in foil
bury in the coals 15-20 min
let sit and cool a little bit carefully open the foil lay it on a plate and eat off the foil with a throw away fork or spoon
GOOD AND SIMPLE
Spiral cut ham, wrapped in a couple layers of foil. Drop it in the coles after breakfast. Turn it every hour until lunch. Its should be nice and moist and ready for sandwiches or just straight in the mouth like we do sometimes
Have fun
