Foil and the propane camp stove.

2 of my favorite tools for cooking out in a camp site.
WHY?
I have cooked so many great meals by placing them in foil and placing them on my propane camp stove.
Examples:

• We love veges. Cabbage, potatoes and onions, carrots, asparagus etc. Place them in foil diced up with your seasoning, butter, place a small amount of water inside and fold up tightly. I place them in a dutch oven and cook over low heat. They steam beautifully.
• Place chicken breast, veges, and seasonings and butter, then cover tightly. 
• Meatloaf- spray the foil well with cooking spray and wrap the meatloaf with bacon and cover. When cooked pour sauce over it.
• Pizza- use pizza crust, tortillas, pita bread, biscuits.  Place foil on griddle  then place pizza crust. Cook until browning then put sauce and toppings on it and within minutes you have pizza.

Cooking tips when camping.

There are some tips to help you prepare for great food while camping. These tips can prevent you from always being over the propane camp stove and having no fun with the family or friends.

• Make soups or stews ahead of time and freeze in bags or containers. They will only need heating up on a camp stove. They also help keep temps low in the ice cooler while traveling.
• Having a dice day before leaving for dicing up onions, garlic, carrots, cabbage, lettuce etc.
• Cook your ground beef ahead of time and freeze in a freezer bag. 
• If eggs are hard to travel with, you can break them gently and fill a container completely with the eggs and cover with a sealed lid. When you need one you simply pour out the egg. It will come out one at a time.
• Make your biscuits at home and cut out and freeze separately. Cuts down on preparation then all you do when camping is place them in your camp dutch oven and you will be eating homemade biscuits.
• Pasta can be cooked about 3/4 of the way and store in a baggie with olive oil. Then when you place it in boiling water it takes just a few minutes to finish cooking.
• Always remember to take things to store left overs. Heavy duty foil is a must for cooking and storing leftovers.
• Make sure your favorite pans you take to cook with will fit on your camp stove. 
• Make crusts ahead of time, pies are terrific in a dutch oven.

Cooking doesn't have to be a pain when camping.
