Oven mitts.

Equipment  Empty coffee can and aluminum foil

Instructions Put some cut up bacon in the bottom of the coffee can, this keeps the rest from sticking. Next layer meat, veggies, and spices until the can is about 3/4 full.
Put in about 1 - 1 1/2 cups water. Cover can tightly with foil. Sit can in hot campfire coals for about 1 hour. NO PEEKING! Use oven mitts to take cans out of the coals. Stir up stew and enjoy! Comment Have everything cut up beforehand and let each person add what they want to their stew. Dinner cooks itself while you find constellations with the kids! This recipe is a lot of fun and has been a favorite of Girl Scouts for years (my Cub Scouts love it too)!

 Equipment 1 med. to large cooking pot,1 large Dutch oven, tongs, a knife and a serving spoon , water, salt and pepper,1 stick butter..

 Instructions   Boil chicken breast until done. Remove chicken and allow to cool. Add rice to water and add butter. Preheat Dutch oven. Cut bacon into small pieces. Dice chicken into small pieces. Layer ingredients as follows. Bacon on bottom, rice next soup and cheese. Continue this until oven is full or you run out of items. Cook about 20 minutes or until done. Comment A little goes a long way. This is very filling. The chicken can be parboiled and cut ahead of time. Just freeze it when you are done for less prep time at your sight. ENJOY!

Roasted Corn

Ingredients Fresh ear of corn (1 or 2 each person). Butter, Salt, Pepper and Lemon Salt (or now they make it all together)

Equipment Tin foil (heavy duty best) doubled.
 

Instructions Peel husk down to stem like you would a banana. Remove hair. Put two pat's of butter on corn then re-husk. Roll into
Tin foil and seal ends. Put into hot coals covered for 20 to 25 minutes, remove, open, shake on Lemon pepper salt mixture and enjoy. Be careful, its hot.

Comment Watch out. This has become a traditional addition my scouts insist on even when the cost of fresh corn is high.

Darn Goods

Ingredients cooking oil, biscuits or bread dough, and any of several complementary combinations: peanut butter and jelly, chocolate and peanut butter, marshmallows and chocolate, apple and cheese, caramel and apple, ham and cheese, pizza sauce and sausage, ham and egg, etc.

Equipment Camp Stove, Deep Pot, Long-handled tongs or long fork (for removing Darn Goods from pot.)

Instructions Heat the oil. While heating, flatten dough balls on the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of any complementary ingredients in center of flattened dough. Fold edges of dough together and pinch them closed, creating a sealed pocket. Drop the Darn Good pocket into the oil and leave it until it turns brown. Remove, cool, and eat!

Comment This is a great cooking demo recipe. Let the boys build their own. We sometimes play "Darn Good Roulette" - fill the pot with Darn Goods, but fill one of them with something "undesirable" - like mayonnaise or  mustard. Everyone picks one and has to eat it - even the boy who gets the mayo or mustard!
Of course - don't put anything in that could hurt someone.
