Camping / Wheeling BBQ Recipes
« on: May 23, 2009, 10:43:00 PM »
The BBQ / camping session is fully here. What are you favorite recipe for camping or BBQ.

Mine is Camp Chips
You slice good roasting potatoes (not baking potatoes they will fall apart) the long ways in about ¼ to ½ inch slices. Then in a bowl you toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning until completely covered. You need to preheat the grill to screaming hot of hey will stick. Place on the grill for about 5 min a side. And then serve.
What ever condiments you usually eat French fries with are great to go with or gust on their own.

Not so much a recipe, but more of a great fire side eats.  Hot wings at midnight.  3 layers of foil and your choice of saucy wing.  I usually use precooked wings and typically Buffalo style.  I have never done breaded wings.  I think they would burn.  Definitely a great fireside latenight snack.  Just throw it in the fire and flip it and turn it every 5 minutes or so.  You will hear them start to sizzle.  I usually do them for about 30 mins or about 5 - 10 minutes after you hear them sizzling.

Campfire Nachos:

Everything you like on tortilla chips cooked in a cast iron pan over the fire.  Just before they're ready lower the pan right into the fire for a few seconds.  Eat them right out of the pan and they stay sizzling hot.  Something like a welder's cutting glove makes nabbing the pan a bit easier.

Not gunna lie, my favourite snack around the camp fire is rum and coke.  But if it must be of the non-liquid type I like jerky.  I use ground meat (extra lean) marinate it for a day or so and use a jerky gun and dehydrator.  (don't forget the liquid smoke if you use the dehydrator instead of a smoker).

I find if you throw it in the oven at 220 for an hour after drying it it really brings out the spices.  You can buy the pre-mixed spice at wholesale or russels but I find they're a little too salty.

mine is very simple... all you need is marshmallows and bailey's irish creme. when putting your mallow on to your stick ( has to be wood not metal or it will melt the mallow) just stick the mallow on half way, then toast the mallow slowly untill golden brown and pull off the stick leaving most of the middle of the mallow still on the stick, this gives you a great mallow shooter glass to fill with baileys and you can down the whole thing at once!  :) it tastes amazing and you dont have to worry about having little holes in the mallow cause you can just place it in your mouth and have a freind fill it up for you!

This is more of a trail cooking side dish that will be ready by the time you get to camp.

Manifold Potato's:
Cut up a bunch of potatoes into quarters..do the same with some celery, onions, peppers, garlic and your choices of meat (bacon, pork tenderloin, mule deer sausage I find work the best but it must be precooked before adding into this recipe)
then toss in a bit of olive oil, spices of your choice and ground pepper and wrap it in a few layers of heavy duty foil and strap that happy package to your manifold and you have a side dish ready to eat by the time you get to camp!
(Just remember to turn it every once and awhile if your wheeling hard)

For a main dish its as simple as bringing a small grille to toss on the fire and cooking up some wild pacific salmon, steak or what ever tickles your fancy.

Serve with beer and enjoy. ;)

I like the breakfast in a box

Fry up some bacon in a pan

then put some squared hasbrowns, chives, salt and pepper in tin foil - leave space in the foil for the following;
mix up some eggs and milk(or water) pour it over the hasbrowns and crumble your cooked bacon and spread it over it,  then top with shredded cheese
wrap it all up good and throw it over the fire.

as soon as those hash browns are ready, you have your first meal of the day.

Goes great with MORE bacon ;D

Every time I go camping, Camp Fries are a must! (Potatoes seem pretty popular here!)

1) cast iron pot with strainer scoop or something
6+) potatoes
1) jug of vegetable oil - enough to fill pot abot 1/2 full
1) good fire with good coals
1) fire pit with that 1/2 grill type thing on it
1) whole lot of your favorite seasoning (I've tried everything I think)
1) large bottle of oh-so-mandatory ketchup

Cut up those potatoes into fry-like shapes. Get that oil in the pot screamin' hot. While that warms up, soak potatoes for awhile in water (to shed some of the starch). Put fries in pot. They will float when almost ready, then keep cooking until golden, or more for crispy. Take 'em out and toss around in a bowl with seasoning. Don't burn your fingers whilst chowing. This is a high risk operation, PPE required, and try semi-sober until you work out the kinks.  ;D
