Not only did we survive camping, we had an amazing time.
Thankfully, this is the only bear who wandered through camp.
Simply put, he’s a camper at heart. He was a champ.
Camping with family and friends always makes the trip more fun, but it also makes meals much easier. Each family was in charge of one major meal. That means less menu planning, more free time, and the chance to try other delicious food that I might not normally eat.
The August issue of Sunset Magazine has a great feature on Dutch oven cooking. After seeing this recipe, my husband immediately declared it as a ‘MUST make.’
How many times to you see a recipe in a magazine, think it would be great to try, and then never make it? Well, this time we actually followed through and the results were incredible.
If Dutch oven cooking isn’t your thing, this recipe could easily be adapted to cooking in a roasting pan in the oven. It’s a delicious alternative to the traditional roast and makes great use of those in-season, summer vegetables. And, despite the length of the recipe, it’s EASY to make. Your biggest challenge will be waiting 3 hours to eat, I promise!
Since we didn’t make any alterations to the original recipe, I’ll just give you the link.
Many thanks for all of your suggestions for cooking while camping! We’ve got years of trips like this one ahead of us and will definitely be trying something new each time.
