Ziploc Bag Recipes

Ziploc Bag Recipes
Have a large pot of boiling water ready. Cut up ham, bacon, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, or whatever you would put in an omelet. Crack an egg or two open
and put them in a Ziploc FREEZER bag. Put in veggies or meats (don't overfill - experiment). Zip closed and mush together to break egg yolks. Mix well. Use a
permanent marker and write your name on the bag. Put in the boiling water. I haven't tried this myself so I am not sure how long to cook. Here again - experiment. Easy to make, clean up, and fun plus everyone gets to make their own personal flavor.

Dutch Oven Lasagna

Dutch Oven Lasagna

2 jars spaghetti sauce
1 lg. box of lasagna noodles
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
1 16 oz cottage or ricotta cheese
1 lb. ground meat or italian sausage crumbled and cooked (optional)
1 bag charcoal
lighter fluid
Light your charcoal ahead of time so your coals will be ready. Coals must be completely white. Take both jars of spaghetti sauce and pour in a pitcher or bowl. Take one jar and fill it with water. Mix the water in with the sauce. Spread a small amount of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a dutch oven.

(Hint: If you line your dutch oven with aluminum foil, it's a lot easier to clean after you're done).

Next take your noodles (raw) and break them in thirds. Lay them on top of the sauce making sure not to stack them on top of each other. Spread some cottage/ricotta cheese on top of the noodles. Spread more spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella
cheese.

Repeat layers until you use all the food. Place lid on top of dutch oven.
Take 20 coals and spread them out on the ground. Place dutch oven directly on top of coals.

( A dutch oven with legs on the bottom works best)

Next place 15 coals on top of the lid spread out. Cook for 30-40 minutes.

Biscuits on a stick

I love this recipe.  It is so much fun to make with the young women at camp.

Biscuits on a Stick
Refrigerated biscuits (pillsbury)
Sticks or wire coat hangers (sticks work better)
Hot coals

Take the biscuit and flatten it and roll out like a long snake. Wind biscuit around a stick. Cook over hot coals making sure to turn so that one side does not get more done than the other.

For a variation, you can dip the biscuits in melted butter after cooking and roll in cinnamon sugar.

Foil Dinners

Perfect recipe for camp!

Foil Dinners
Your choice of meat (hamburger and chicken work the best)
carrots
potatoes
onions
green bell peppers (optional)
zucchini (optional)
seasonings
Take a large piece of aluminum foil and place your meat on top with veggies on top. Season. Take another large piece of aluminum foil and place on top. Roll and seal all sides of both pieces of aluminum foil together. Place dinner on hot coals (make sure there is NO flame and just hot white coals). Cook for about 20-30 minutes depending on how much meat and veggies you have in your dinner. You can also turn the foil packet about 1/2 way through cooking to make sure the bottom doesn't burn.
