Simple Camp Fire
Recipes
Potato Soup – The most important aspect when it
comes to easy camp fire cooking is to make use of instant ingredients
creatively. For potato soup, you will need a small pack of instance mashed
potatoes, a small pack of chicken broth, a small carton of milk, herbs, bacon,
bouillon, some shredded cheese, and garlic. First thing you must do is to cook
the bacon. Take note that you won’t need oil since the bacon will produce its
own. When the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pot. Place the garlic in the
pot and cook it until it shrivels a bit. Add water along with the milk and
broth, and bring it to a boil. When it boils, you must add the bouillon and let
it dissolve. After that, you must slowly add the instant mashed potatoes. But
you must remember that you must gauge the right amount that will provide
thickness to the soup; if not, you will be enjoying mashed potatoes instead.
You have to constantly stir it and then add your chopped herbs until it will
reach a thicker consistency. Before taking the pot off the heat, you must
return the bacon. Stir it and top it with cheese.
Fried pork–All you need is enough oil for
frying, pepper and salt to season the chops, rosemary, garlic and orange
marmalade. Start by half-frying the pork chops. Once the meat turns white, take
out the pork. Fry the garlic and rosemary and add the orange marmalade. You
must stir it until everything is incorporated and then return the pork chips
and cook it completely.
With adequate preparation, you can certainly come with a very
satisfying camp food that every member of the family will enjoy.
