Salmon fillet (or your favorite fish, marinated in Soyaki (from Trader Joe's- or use your favorite marinade) which I freeze in a vacuum sealed ziploc. I go ahead and clean, cut up and prepare bok choy, bean sprouts, a variety of shrooms and maybe some water chestnuts or other stir fry add ins and put that in an vacuum sealed bag for freshness the day before we leave. When we cook it at the campsite, the salmon (which is usually the first meal that defrosts) goes in a foil wrap on the grill, the veggies get stir fried on the grill wok and I make coconut rice on the cookstove (pre-measured jasmi

Three of our favorite crock pot dinners and one dessert Stupid Chicken Place 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts in crockpot, sprinkile with 1 pkg dry onion soup mix and 2 cans of italian style stewed tomatos. Let cook on low for 6-8 hours. Spoon over cooked egg noodles or rice. (I like the precooked 90 seconds in the nuker rice) Yummy and sticks to your ribs. BBQ Pulled Pork Place one 2lb pork tenderloin in crockpot on top of a thinly sliced onion. Sprinkle with Essence of Emeril. Pour one can of beer over the mess and let cook for 6-8 hours on low. Pull the tenderloin apart with two forks

We cook loaded baked potato everytime we camp. We just coat the potato with olive oil (or butter) sprinkle of salt.. double wrap in aluminum foil and put directly on coals and cover with coals. In about 35 minutes you have perfectly "baked" potatoes. Just load with whatever... The skins get nice and crisp with the oil/salt coating so they are actually the best part. This is perfect for those campgrounds with no electricity. We camp at a lot of state parks... and none have electricity that we've been to.

Grilled Beer Brats 4 Beers 1 Pack Hogie rolls 1 large onion Spicy Mustard 1 pack Frozen Johnsonville Bratwurst ( I prefer the uncooked ones) Pour the beers in a pot and start to heat. Cut onion in to quartes and place in the pot. Add the Brats and cook until they are cooked through. While the brats are cooking fire up the grill. when the brats are done in the beer bath place them on the grill and grill 4-5 minutes a side. Serve them up on a bun with the mustard and some of the onion from the beer bath.

I love the donut idea!!! At a Pampered Chef party I went to, the host made something similar using the canned dinner rolls which she cut them in half. In a skillet (that can go in the oven), she melted some butter, sauteed garlic the added the biscuit pieces, tossed them around in the butter and garlic and sprinkled with an italian seasoning mix and then popped them in the oven until they were golden brown. SOOO yummy!!!

On several sites, perhaps even in this thread, I read about making "doughnuts" out of refrigerator canned biscuit dough. Tried them out tonight at home in my cast iron fry pan, using shortening and cheap biscuit dough. OMGOSH! Yum! Such a simple easy treat to make my family smile. We decided "balls" were better than "doughnut" shaped. Cut biscuits in half (or quarters if you want smaller), roll the dough in your hands to make into a tidy ball. Fry in at least 1/4 inch oil. It puffs slightly, flip over with tongs.. they cook quickly so keep a close watch to prevent burning. Roll (or toss in a b

We love to cook breakfast outside in the mornings. We have a Presto Griddle and the coffee pot always set up outside the travel trailer. Get the coffee going -cook whatever breakfast meats. Love the "Pancake Mix" in the yellow bottle?? I think Bisquick or Pillsbury?? Not sure the brand name! We always purchase when we go... Follow instuctions - but add a twist. For Thanksgiving and Halloween we add some canned pumpkin, spices and make pumpkin pancakes -top with crushed pecans and Whip Cream, or add some fresh blueberries, bananas or chocolate chips.....Love to cook outside of the camper! "The

I am adding crock pot to my "camping list" now. Loving the recipes I have a small toaster oven that I take also, which common items can be cooked, toast (duh), canned biscuits, small pizza, (which I don't do) But anyways, I thought I would add this as a snack suggestion. My mom did this for me when I was little and I still love it Take saltine crackers and spread peanut butter (anykind-I am a Peter Pan kinda gal) then add a marshmellow on top (big sized ones) put in toaster over until browned and remove. Then kinda smush down the marshmellow and you have an out of this world snack. I actually

Egg Mcmuffins Spray Pam in a mug, crack an egg in the much and cook in the microwave, then warm up some ready made bacon in the microwave and put both on an english muffin. THis is the Easiest breakfast ever!! The kids absolutely love them and they take no time to make! THe only dish you will have to clean is a mug. That's my kind of Breakie!

Bannock with Bear Grease and Ants With such an alluring name how can you go wrong?! Mix Bisquick (biscuit mix) with milk, make it nice and thick. Roll it into long snake like thing and wrap it around a stick. Cook over open flame until puffy and browned. Dip in melted butter, then cinamon and sugar. This is so delicious and is a campfire favourite. Bannock-bisquick Bear Grease-butter ants-sugar/cinamon

If your camper/RV has a microwave (we actually do these at home on busy school/work mornings too)... take a microwavable bowl (I use a large ramekin), spray with Pam, crack 2-3 eggs in each bowl add diced veggies, ham, whatever and sprinkle with cheese... cook on high 1 min. 30 seconds... depending on microwave and how many eggs you use. It's good, fast, easy clean up, healthy... you are assembling, cooking and eating out of just one bowl. It kinda looks like a souffle.

Orange Muffins Here is one of their faves: Orange Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix (or whatever floats your boat) Cut the orange in half and scoop out the insides. (eat it) Mix the muffin mix as per the directions. Pour the muffin mix in 1 of the orange halves and cover with the empty half. Double wrap with tin foil and put on hot coals for 40 mins or so. The muffin will cook into a big ball and will be hot and delicious with a hint of orange flavour. Awesome!!

These work on the campfire or even on the grill... Banana Boats Ingredients: Ripe Bananas Chocolate chips (dark, milk, white, butterscotch... whatever your favorite flavor) Mini Marshmallows (or big ones cut into pieces) Other: heavy tin foil Cut the stem end of the bananas. Peel a strip out of inside curve of the banana, about 1/2-3/4" wide. Take a knife and make a slit through the center of the banana (don't pierce the skin on the opposite side). Stuff chips and marshmallows into the banana. Wrap in heavy foil and put on the coals of the fire or on the grill on low, cut side up. Cook until g

Petro-chili, chips, & cheese I am making these right now, which reminded me we ate them while camping last Summer. I scanned through the 9 pages of recipes and did not see it -at least I don't think I did. Petro's is a chain in East Tennesse that was "born" during the 1982 World's Fair here. The chili can easily be prepared ahead of time and frozen. This is prepared individually in a layered fashion. Fritos in the bottom of a bowl, chili, shredded cheddar cheese, dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, cut up green onions, and sliced black olives. That is an "Original Petro". It's similar to

Pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches: The night before, I throw the largest pork roast I can find (or two smaller ones) into my slow cooker before going to bed. I season with roughly a teaspoon of onion powder, a half teaspoon of garlic powder, a teaspoon of paprika, a half to full cup of brown sugar (depending on your taste), along with salt and pepper to taste. I fill with water until it is about a half inch below the top of the cooker. I cook it on medium heat overnight. The next morning, I take it out of the cooker and put it on a plate in the refrigerator so that it becomes cool enough to handle, c

Each time I camp, there are certain breakfasts I must have: 1. Bologna & cheddar on toast Cook the bologna on the bbq or campfire! If you're using a grate or pan, after you turn it over, put some cheddar cheese on it, and eat it on toast with some dijon and mayo! A cup of hot tea, and it's a beautiful outdoor handheld brekkie. 2. Bacon & eggs on toast Always cooked in a cast iron frying pan. And save the grease for the campfire later 3. Homemade pancakes with real maple syrup Mix dry ingreds in baggie at home, and just add water/milk or yogurt, egg if needed 4. Grilled che

Favorite Pot Roast I make this even when we are at home and the kids literally fight over the leftovers... we usually serve it with mashed potatoes but its also yummy over rice... 4-5lb beef roast 1 large onion- sliced 2 or 3 packs of sliced Baby Bella mushrooms (jarred can also be used) 2 cups of beef stock 2-3 cups of dry red wine 4tsp minced garlic (i use the jarred type) put mushrooms and onions in the bottom of the crock pot, place roast on top and top with garlic, stock and wine. cook 8-10 hours depending on size of roast... enjoy.. this also works great for a french dip style sandwhich-

EASY recipe for meatballs is: 2 jars of Heinz Chili Sauce 1 32 oz jar of Grape Jelly 1 bag frozen meatballs Mix 2 sauces together, add meatballs to the pot, cover with sauce and turn on for a few hours. Sounds weird, tastes great!!

This is one of our favorites 2-3 lb pork loin (trim excess fat) 1 package dry onion soup mix splash of water Put in crock pot overnight Cook on low for 8 hours. Shred meat and add your favorite bbq sauce and keep on low for the rest of the day (make sure you use the juice in the bottom of the crockpot too). Serve on rolls for lunch or dinner. Sometimes we freeze it before we head to the fort and then defrost and throw it in the crockpot with the bbq sauce.
