Campfire Stew

Be the first to write a review

From , former About.com Guide

A camping recipe from Terri. I learned to make this in scouting when I was only 8 years old. Now my four children nearly demand I make it at least once a month at home. But it tastes so much better when we simmer it over an open campfire! It brings back lots of memories and creates memories for my children to tell their children!

Prep Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 1 medium onion [optional]
  • 2 cans mixed vegetables [don't drain]
  • 1 bottle ketchup

Preparation:

In Dutch oven, brown hamburger with onions and then drain the fat. Return to fire/burner and add the remaining ingredients. Also, rinse your ketchup bottle with about 1/2 cup water and add. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes; but it is best to simmer for about an hour. If stew starts to become dry, just add a little water or more ketchup diluted with a little water for you ketchup lovers! Serve hot with warm bread or crackers. For added flavor, pour into your serving a little ketchup, steak sauce, Worcestershire, etc.

Servings: 6
