Campfire Dead Dog Pie

A camping recipe from Chris Keepes. The recipe got it's name because the dog was missing the first time we cooked it, and we told everyone that it was the dog. Still, this has been a campsite favorite whenever I prepare it for other campers.

Prep Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ground meat
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 large green pepper, sliced
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound of your favorite cheese

Preparation:

Cook the meat, until brown. Drain the grease, add the potatoes, onion, and pepper to the pan, and cook until tender. Season the mixture with the spices and after 2 minutes add the cheese, stirring constantly. Serve with some type of hard leftover bread.

Notes: You can use red or white potatoes; I like new.

Cheese is the ingredient that makes this recipe work. Do not skimp on the cheese!

Servings: 6-8
Preparation time: 30-45 minutes
