Posting the plan for my WV State 4-H Camp outdoor cooking class again this year.
Please if you have any great camp cooking or other outdoor cooking ideas, post them. I'm always looking for good ideas. I don't keep my class limited to camping recipes, but I do use some of them. In the past, we've brined chickens and turned them on a homeade spit over natural coals. I've roasted a whole turkey in a garbage can. I've done a lot of Dutch Oven stuff. I've used my barrel smoker for brisket, salmon, etc.
Monday, We'll start with some basic "foil in the fire" camp cooking, including Pie Irons. We will also visit the Jackson's Mill farm to harvest what ever is ripe. I figure it will be some greens and some onions.
Tuesday, we will make beans in cast iron over a fire (We will have soaked them overnight.) We'll also prepare what ever we harvested the day before. And then some Dutch Oven Corn bread.
Wednesday, we will be using a La Caja China Cooking Box. Either Chicken or Pork, not sure yet. Anyone have a La Caja China? I'm borrowing one and it will be my first time using it.
Thursday, as is my tradition, we are making breakfast. Planning on making Grits, Dutch Oven biscuits, and other breakfast foods. In my opinion, it's the best camping meal.
Any opinions? Any ideas? And I'm always looking for ideas for next year.
