The Novotnys love to camp, and while camping this family of 7 loves to eat. So, I’ve been on the hunt for some new creative, yet simple camping recipes.
I found this yummy and simple recipe that your children can help create:
Campfire Stew (also known as Hobo Packs)
Ingredients
2 lbs. ground beef
2 large onions, cut in pieces
potatoes, cut in chunks – as much as you like!
1 lb. baby carrots
salt and pepper
The Novotnys also add in zucchini squash along with some garlic seasoning.
Directions:
Cut pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil for several packets. Make little balls of ground beef and place on foil. Add onions, potatoes, carrots, salt, pepper, and anything else you choose to include. Wrap up packets very tightly and place on grid over fire. They will take about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the fire.
You can save time by cutting up your veggies and potatoes at home before you leave!
Another simple recipe I found that our kids can also help in the creation of is:
Pita Pizza
Ingredients
4 pieces pita bread
2 cups pizza sauce (1/2 cup per pita)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded (1/2 cup per pita)
Toppings of your choice: mushrooms, green bell peppers, pre-cooked sausage, pepperoni, etc.
Heavy-Duty aluminum foil
Directions:
Slice pita bread three quarters of the way through. Spread pizza sauce on the bottom layer of the pita bread. Put in toppings and top with cheese.
Close pita and wrap with foil. Cook over coals until hot (approximately 20 minutes).
