We have a highly experienced, enjoyment-seeking camping crowd going here. Any campsite food ideas to share?
Here’s one of my favorite camp breakfasts - crazy good in absolute terms, doubly so because its so easy. :thumbsup
uncased choirzo (a Spanish sausage)
eggs
bagels
cream cheese
Cook up the chorizo then scramble eggs into it. Cook the egg longer than you’d think - cook until it dries up a bit. Slather bagels with cream cheese and then make an egg sandwich.
That sounds fabulous, but I’d leave out the chorizo… Maybe replace with ham or somethin. :drool
Hmmmmmmm…
Let’s see:
Barbecued oysters by the Hippie
Karlos’s slow smoked brisket and/or hot wings
Sourdough waffles, extra crispy bacon (for Connie), and whipped cream
BBQ meatball magic marinara w spaghetti
Breakfast burritos by Run a muck
Anasazi bean tostados (should we do fry bread?)
I think we’ve got that covered…
Remember to bring your own washable plate, cup, and utensils. We’re tired of doing everyone’s dishes. A $$$$ in the tip jar always helps 
:peace
:drool :drool :drool :drool
Hippie is showing off. :medal
No hot dogs will be harmed in the production of a Camp Run-A-Muck party, will they!?!
By ‘harmed’ if you mean ‘gobbled down with mustard, relish, and onion’ then yes. But I may be speaking alone as the possible only eater of dogs in all of Run-A-Muck since I have such a strong stomach.
In this thread I was hoping for some more concrete ideas - once you get over 4 days of camping, my old standbys get old. There’s lots of places to look up things like this, but I thought this might be a rich source for some excellent outside-of-the-usual hedonistic camp fare :).
Here’s one of my more unusual and satisfying camp meals - Salmon Croquets
2 c water
2 oz dehydrated milk
4 oz potato flakes
1 can salmon, 14.5 oz
bread crumbs
8 tbsp bread crumbs
fat for frying
Combine water, milk, potato flakes. Heat to thicken potatoes. Add salmon and 2 tbsp crumbs, salt and pepper. Form into patties. Dredge in 6 tbsp crumbs. Pan fry for 3 minutes per side. Have to work the mixture a bit by trial and error to get the consistency right. Lots of uses for croquets particularly excellent with pasta and alfredo.
Okay, This is a fave of my kids that they demand I do in camp… I call it Sloppy Mac. brown ground beef. Make elbow pasta. Mix together w/ sauce made with approx 1/2 BBQ sauce 1/2 ketchup … Filling and easy…
A few years back we circulated a blank journal among campmates and I put together a cookbook which sadly seems to have vanished from my drive and I of course can’t put my hands on the hard copy but one of my favorites in it is a super yummy, super easy bean dip our friend Rog makes for afternoon snacking. It goes something like this:
drained and rinsed can of black beans
jar of salsa (Roger uses a delicious mango goodness variety)
chopped avocados
lime juice
cumin, I think
served of course with corn chips and it seems like there is more that I’m missing but you get the idea. It feeds a bunch with only the bowl to wash.
Oh, yes that black bean dip is YUMMY!
the best meal I ate in town park was blackened ahi tuna, pasta with alfredo sauce and basil pesto (homemade) and salad from our garden that we brought in a cooler.
We have a small grill/stove that we grilled any number of things, from salmon to steaks
I am leery of the dutch oven, which has provided me with too many river trip meals to count, and I wonder how many of you have gone to sleep, or lost consciousness, before dinner was served, leaving your place in the dinner line, empty.
