We have never camped with an open camp fire - Always camped in NV and I don't remember them lifting the ban once the whole time I was there.
We do a lot of dutch oven cooking and take a propane cooktop for cooking too.
Love me some peach (or whatever) cobbler in a dutch oven! Chicken, potatoes, stews...
One of the kid's favorites is pepperoni Pizza Chili
Pepperoni Pizza Chili
1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce
1 can (14 1/2 oz) Italian stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 pkg (3 1/2 oz) sliced pepperoni
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1 tsp pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
shredded mozzarella cheese, optional
In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink: drain. Stir in the beans, pizza sauce, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, pepperoni, red pepper, pizza seasoning and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until chili reaches desired thickness. Garnish with cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
We will do taco salad in a trashbag - mix your salad in a trashbag however you want to make it. Some people buy the 99 cent bags of doritoes and mix individual ones but why when you can buy one bag of cheap no name chips for the same price! They are crunched up, who cares?
We have done chicken dishes - cut up your chicken and brown it, add italian seasonings, cream of chick and crem of mush soup and add water and egg noodles or rice.
Foil packets are fun - hamburger patty/chicken breast and top with your veggies and potatoes diced up, seal it up in the foil and cook.
Baked potatoes are good.
Then there is always Ms. Ellen's macaroni surprise...
