1. while in the army, we made smores by using crackers, m&m's, marshmallows, and peanut butter. If you you don't use a campfire, you can melt them by holding them over a lamp or something. be creative....and it will be fun!
2. 1 lb hamburger 1 sm onion 1 sm green pepper 1 lrg can pinto beans 1 lrg can Pork & Beans 1 lrg can tomatoes shredded cheese chili powder How to Prepare: Brown hamburger with onion and green pepper (chopped). Then just add the canned items. Add chili powder if desired. Simmer for a little while. Spoon into soup bowls and top with cheese. Serve with cornbread sticks. Great outdoors or in!!!! This may not seem that easy but it is. For more great ones that are even simpler try this website:::
3. a very simple one is you mix flower with water until it is like a dough, then you can add some spices of your choice to it, wrap it around a stick in a spiral, then cook it over the fire.
4. Shovel Biscuits Prepare biscuit dough. Put a shovel in the fire until it is sterilized. Put biscuits on the shovel. Prop up the shovel at an angle close to the fire. Move the shovel closer or further away to contol the rate of burn...er, cooking. Luau Stew Dig a hole. Collect enough rocks to partially fill the hole. Heat the rocks in a fire for a couple hours. Put the hot rocks in the hole. Cover with several layers of vegetation. Put uncooked stew in a pot into the hole. Cover with more vegetation. Add more hot rocks. Cover with dirt. Come back in a few hours. (Fix supper at lunch time and let it cook till supper time.)
5. ooh... i call them hobo dinners: get a generous piece of foil paper for each person butter the center with a spoon add sliced carrots sliced potatoes chopped onions some salt... finally you get ground beef (burger patties will work best) and mush it where all of the meat is spread on there. Close that foil paper by lifting all the edges, making a little tip on the top to handle the 'pack', and place that on the fire. The fire can't be burning on high flames. It should be really hot, but just red coals on the bottom where you can place the hobo dinner without making holes through the foil paper
6. great bread recipes, for a dutch oven though. so well skip that. 2 key ingredients, a camp fire/heavy guage aluminum foil. wrap small potatoes(double wrap)place down in coals. done in 30 mins or so. You can cook anything in a foil pouch. No dishes to do....use your imag.
7. Get a bunch of corn cobs with the husk (outer leaves) still on. Put them in a basin or bucket of water to soak all day, or even overnight. Bury them in hot ashes and glowing (NOT flaming) coals for 40-60 minutes. Peel back the husk like you are peeling a banana. Have butter, salt, pepper handy. You can wrap washed potatoes in foil and bury them too. They need to cook a little longer than corn. Children really enjoy popcorn made over a campfire. You can buy special popcorn poppers with LONG handles for under $20. You shake and shake and shake and think "This is never going to pop" and then BOOM, it all pops at once. For older "children", marshmallows dipped in 151 rum makes the best toasted 'mallows ever.
8. Get some premade biscuit dough. (the stuff that comes in a tube) Next get three, three foot dowel(one for each of you) 3/4 inch in diameter.(Home Depot) Wrap the biscuit dough around the dowel in a spiral up 5 to 6 inches, make sure to close the end off. cook over coals till you can slide it off the dowel. Fill with jelly, enjoy. Or cook hot dogs at the same time, drop dog in hole. (pigs in a blanket). I found it very important over the last 20 years of hunting and fishing to Keep It Simple. Or the KISS. You don't want to be Martha Stewart in the woods. The less time spent on food prep, equals more time enjoying the outdoors. Have a great time!!
9. The best thing about cooking in the bush is that if you make a duff you have all the elements to blame. Any think you though together in the pot will if you take time with it will taste nice. Meat cooked on open flame, Bread dough like above on a stick is great with a bully beef pot, with beans and pines and anything you have lying around that you thing will taste nice.
10. There are a lot of good ideas on here so far. Another one I would like to add is this. If you are going to do a little fishing this would work nicely. Take the small lake trout you catch and gut them and then take chopped potatos and onions and fill them and wrap a piece of bacon around then then cover in foil. Place teh foil packs under the coals. Do this for about 2 hours and then take them out and they are both delicious and tender.
