Backwards Meal

Baked Apples
A camping recipe from Steven Robinson. Kids enjoy cooking this.

Banana Boats
A camping recipe from Laura. Enjoy this chocolatey banana goodness.

Banana Boats
A camping recipe from Kym. This is a recipe I learned while in Girl Scouts many years ago. Since then we have them at every camping trip.

Banana Boats
A camping recipe from Michelle Pickrell. This is a camping favorite. We cook this instead of s'mores.

Barbecued Pork Hocks
A camping recipe from Hotshot. An excellent alternative to common meats. The skin is good too, reminding me of the crackling my mother used to come up with on her pork roasts years ago. You don't need any bbq sauce.

Beef and Veggies
A camping recipe from Bill. The meal smells so good it makes you hungry.

Biscuit S'mores
A camping recipe from Carrie. This recipe is also really tasty with just chocolate.

Blackened Chicken
A camping recipe from David. If you like Cajun, you'll like this rub, which you can make from common ingredients in your spice rack.

Boatin' Hillbilly Trash Breakfast
A camping recipe from Pat Frain. This is so easy to make, and you can add whatever you want, and clean up is easy. I made this up last summer and the marina that we keep our boat at and my other boating friends just love it.

Boonie Burgers
A camping recipe from Boonie. These cheese-stuffed burgers are so easy to make and great tasting.

Burnt Baked Potatoes
I accidently made these before while attempting to make regular baked potatoes on the campfire. I left them on the fire too long, and they were so burnt the potatoes were black. I was going to throw them away, but my girlfriend broke one open and the potatoes were really soft and almost the consistency of mashed potatoes.

Butter Onion Trout
A camping recipe from Neely. This is one of the easiest ways to cook a good meal when primitive camping.

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage
A camping recipe from Don N. I have had this many times while camping. This can be an entire meal by itself.

Caesar Lamb Chops
A camping recipe from cabalot. I call this Caesar Lamb Chops because it has almost all the ingredients as the dressing minus the egg and anchovies and with the addition of parsley and rosemary. Adjust the ingredients to your taste. If you don't like mustard, don't add it. I don't like mustard, but it adds a nice background flavor in a marinade. The same recipe is good with beef or chicken too.

Caesar Vegetables
Caesar Vegetables - a camping recipe from LindaVA1. Excellent with grilled shrimp and corn on the cob.

Cajun Grilled Corn
A camping recipe from Vickie. You decide how spicy you would like this.

Camp Kabobs
A camping recipe from Marsha. Camp Kabobs are easy and mess free. The kids like eating them too, because they're fun to eat. Bake potatoes directly in the fire, add some bread and you've got a meal.

Camp Shish Kabobs
A camping recipe from Wild Bill Gwaltney. This simple recipe produces great grilled meat flavor, so you may want to take more meat than you usually plan on.

Camp Style Italian Meatball Stew
A camping recipe from DebWilgus. I made this meal on our last camping trip and surprisingly it was delicious.

Camper's Beef Stew
A camping recipe from DebWilgus. This recipe is easy, cheap and no clean up. We dip right out of the pouch and just toss it in the trash when done.

Campfire Baked Potato
A camping recipe from Cody561. This recipe makes an awesome baked potato.

Campfire Bass
A camping recipe from Glenn. A simple way to cook fish with minimal clean up.

Campfire Blooming Onions
A camping recipe from Vickie. I love blooming onions and played around with cooking these. I usually serve with a dip.

Campfire Comfort Chicken
A camping recipe from Patty. This recipe will make anyone enjoy the comfort of a warm fire.

Campfire Corn on the Cob
Campfire Corn on the Cob - a camping recipe from D Wilgus. My kids love this recipe when we go camping. It is so easy and the corn will be really tender. It is a cheap and easy side dish for a campfire meal.

Campfire Fajitas
A camping recipe from Chris. The smoke from the campfire along with the liquid smoke make for a very unique (and quite delicious) combo.

Campfire Fried Potatoes
A camping recipe from Karen Henton. I have used this as a side for breakfast meals while camping and as a side for dinners. The bacon gives the potatoes a distinctive flavor you will not get from your home stove.

Campfire Hobo Stew
A camping recipe from S.A. Lee. This is an easy, economical and healthy recipe. We usually set up the ingredients buffet style and then form an assembly line.
