Camp cooking
So now that summer is ending many of you mave have went camping or bigfoot searching. My deer hunting season just started and will run through January this year for deer and elk. I will likely spend a night or three camping. So I am looking for new favorite meal ideas. This is some of my normal camp meals. First night is steaks or burgers over the fire. With potatoes baked in the fire and corn on the cob roasted. I make several extra potatoes up in heavy foil and toss them in the coals just before bed. In the morning I pull the potatoes out and make home fries. With eggs, bacon or sausage, and toast. Oh, sausage is my own homemade pork breakfast sausage with sage. Then chicken on the fire with a big salad for dinner. Foil dinners are good too. take sliced potatoes, carrots, onion and top with hamburger. Add a touch of butter and seasonings. Wrapped in heavy foil, toss near coals and cook. So good. You can put anything in them. A dessert is smores of course. But I have had a banana split down the middle with the skin left on. Fill the split with chocolate and marshmallows and wrap in foil. Cooked over coals. Slightly green bananas are best. Ripe ones turn to mush. Last favorite is fish. Place a fish in foil and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Add some butter and wine. Plain cheap wine is fine. Toss directly in coals. Watch foil and listen to sizzle. If it stops steaming pull it out. After a few minutes flip it for another few and pull it out. The skin should stick to foil when opened. Grab spine and slowly lift free. You should be left with two filets that will be the best fish ever. You can add onions and lemon slices. I like orange slices on salmon with dill. So what do you guys like when camping?

Fresh caught trout wrapped in bacon and grilled over an open fire, rough cut potatoes with butter and garlic wrapped in foil and cooked in the coals, and of course just plain marshmallows on a stick.

Those sound good too. Never even crossed my mind to do potatoes like that even though I bake them and put them in foil dinners. I bet my oven roasted italian dressing potatoes with dill, garlic, onion and olive oil would be good in foil on the coals too.
