Camp Foods

Camper's Stew(I pre-cut the veggies at home)

INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 pounds ground Beef
4 potato, cubed
8 carrots, sliced
4 onion, chopped
4 cloves crushed garlic

salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup water

DIRECTIONS:
Divide onto four large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil (in this order) beef, potato cubes, carrots, onion and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with butter and a tablespoon of water.

Roll edges of tin foil together and seal tightly.

Bury it in campfire coals or put in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). For either cooking method, cooking time is about 1 hour. You can eat it right out of the foil and no dishes to wash.

We also like to season corn on the cob and wrap it in foil and cook the same way.

For a treat, bring along a tube of biscuits.  Roll each biscuit into a thin "snake" and wrap arounda  clean roasting stick.  After it puffs and cooks, dip in melted butter and cinnamon-sugar.

It makes you wonder, when children need so much attention from someone who isnt their parent, how much do they actually get from their parents. My children have never bugged anyone but me for that. lol
I hope you are able to have a good time and get to relax. I know when we have a family 'thing' im the one who does all the cooking, and the clean up, never much fun for me. But I hope its good for you.
Be careful out there too.

I like your definition of camping! Being next to the bathrooms - ugh!! :( I second the motion for you to slip away and read by the water . . . . but if that's not going to be possible, maybe you should toss the whole idea of it being a vacation? :\
My mom always wanted a "vacation from the vacation"!

This sounds so very simple to do and the biscuits with added cinammon sounds so yummy.

Thank you for sharing these recipies - I will have to try them when I move.

Have a blessed afternoon/evening

Hi,
I love reading your comments, thank you for leaving them.
Mom used to always can her stawberry preserves too until we tried my granny's freezer preserves. They are much simpler than canning them.
