I've been trying to learn more things that can be cooked over and open fire. We went camping last weekend, and will be going again next weekend.

I used the camp stove for lunch - Brats, baked beans and potato salad. I would have done the brats over the fire but we didn't want to make one just for that.

For dinner I did everything on the fire. I put asparagus, olive oil and seasoning in a packet of foil and placed it on a rock next to the fire. Eventually I moved it directly onto the hot coals. I soaked corn in the husk in water and then placed those directly on the coals as well. That came out good, but I could have let them cook longer. I also made steak, which came out ok. The grill-type thing that you could swing over the fire was really rusty and scary looking so I improvised by placing the steaks on a disposable pizza pan. It worked well enough but it prevented the steak from really getting seared. I'll have to tweak that a bit next time.


Does anyone have any tried and true camping recipes they'd recommend? We park the car at the site so luckily we don't have to haul everything around with us.

one large can of peach slices (sorry we always made peach cobblers)
one packet of yellow cake mix
one dutch oven - about 12 in

My Wife likes wiggly bacon too. Is it a Female thing? I could go into some psycho Babble about Frued, and how your desire for limp bacon blah blah blah... leaves me concern for Aergis.
Anyone care to share Bacon Preference?
I prefer Crispy, but will take it anyway I can get it other wise. Super Thick Cut on the BBQ is exquisite too.

i hope its not a female thing, cuase i like my bacon on the soft side too.......


edit: unless its on a burger or some other sandwich, then it has to be crisp

They're on their way. It'll come in a small innocuous looking wrapped box. If its ticking, don't worry: That's normal.
