Ingredients:

• beef or chicken
• bell peppers
• mushrooms
• onion
• jalapeno peppers (optional)
• small potatoes
• zucchini squash
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
• lemon or lime juice (juice from ½ of lemon or lime)
• McCormick’s Salt-free Chicken seasoning
• powdered butter flavoring
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• lemon pepper seasonings dill

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes for approximately 4-5 minutes depending on size. They should still be firm and crisp, not mushy. They will finish cooking on the grill. Let potatoes cool completely before putting in foil bag.
2. Chop bell peppers, onion and zucchini squash into large pieces. Put chopped vegetables, whole jalapeños, whole potatoes and whole mushrooms into a large foil bag with 1 clove chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon or lime juice, soy sauce, butter flavouring, lemon pepper seasonings, and dill.
3. Cut meat into large stew size pieces. Put meat in a separate foil bag with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 clove garlic, chicken seasonings, butter flavouring and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. When using more than one kind of meat, put in separate bags.
4. Place the foil bags into larger 2 gallon ziplock bags to store while traveling. To cook, remove foil bags from plastic ziplock bags and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning after 5-6 minutes. Let sit before opening bags.

Ingredients:

• Eggs (2-3 eggs per person)
• Cheese (favorite flavor, shredded)
• Ham
• Green peppers
• Quart size freezer bags

Directions:

1. Break 2-3 eggs into a quart size Ziploc freezer bag
2. Beat with a spoon until frothy
3. Drop ham, green, peppers, cheese, etc. into baggie, work with hands until mixed
4. Drop baggie (or several baggies) into a pot of boiling water
5. Let cook for 5-10 minutes, remove with tongs. Halfway through cooking, remove with tongs and break up the egg mixture to ensure the omelet cooks all the way through.
6. Season with salt and pepper

Ingredients: (to serve 4 to six campers)

• Sage sausage – one 16oz. package
• Hashbrowns – diced or shredded – one 26oz. package frozen hashbrowns, or two 16oz. dairy-case hashbrowns (like Betty Crocker “Simply Hashbrowns”)
• Eggs – one dozen
• Cheddar cheese, shredded – two cups
• Bacon* – one 12oz or 16oz package (*optional but recommended)
• Salt & Pepper – season to taste – approx. 1.5 tspn. salt and 1 tspn. pepper
• *Two tbspn. cooking oil if bacon is not used

1. Cook bacon strips until well browned and crispy. Remove bacon, but do not drain skillet.
2. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, (over high heat), until browned.
3. Use the spatula to chop the sausage while it cooks to avoid ending up with large chunks or semi-patties. You want to end up with the texture of cooked hamburger 
4. Remove the cooked sausage, (do not drain skillet), and set aside. Then add hash browns and cook, (over high heat), until browned.  The bottom of the skillet should be covered with the bacon and sausage grease – if not add a little cooking oil until it is.
5. Don’t over-stir these. Use the spatula to turn them a couple times at approx. 5-minute intervals
6. Scramble the eggs in a bowl while the hashbrowns are cooking
7. When hashbrowns are done, add back the cooked sausage, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Stir once to mix things up, then cover the skillet and cook over medium heat until eggs begin to set. Stir as needed to keep the eggs from sticking and burning.
8. When eggs are set, and almost done, crumble the bacon strips and sprinkle over top, followed by two cups of shredded cheese – sprinkled to cover top. Cover the skillet and wait approx. five minutes for the topping to melt.
9. Remove from heat, sprinkle on Parsley or Fennel – and serve.

Here is an easy way to cook corn on the cob if you don’t have easy access to a large pot (like when you are camping) All you have to do is find a decent sized cooler, clean the inside. Get a large pot of water to boil and pour it into the cooler, throw the corn in, and close the lid for about 30 minutes, and your done.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 slices bread
• 1 egg
• 1 slice Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Place a cast iron sandwich toaster in the hot coals of a campfire to preheat for a few minutes.
2. Butter both slices of bread, then place one slice, butter-side down into the toaster. Crack the egg onto the bread, and break the yolk. Top with a slice of cheese and the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
3. Close the toaster, and place into the coals of the fire. Cook for several minutes, turning frequently, until the bread has browned nicely on both sides.

Chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, and peppers are wrapped in aluminum foil for one-dish meals cooked in a campfire. We prepare them at home and then leave them in the cooler until we are ready to cook. You can use any combination of meat and vegetables that you like.

Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
• 4 cloves garlic, sliced
• 4 small potatoes, cubed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

1. In a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, red pepper, garlic, and potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix well.
2. Evenly divide the mixture between 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Top each with another sheet of foil, and roll up the edges tightly. Wrap each packet again, securely in another sheet of foil to double wrap.
3. Cook in the hot coals of a campfire until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.
