Three Recipes for Your Next Camping Outing

By CJ Lomez

The one thing I like more than anything about camping is cooking over an open flame. So do most campers. I love my Dutch oven, and so should you. If you don't have one, you need to get one, especially if you're an avid camper.

Buy a 12-inch oven that's already seasoned, and refer to the directions as to how to use one on a charcoal fire. I'm offering up 3 tasty recipes for your next outing. Here goes:

BAKED BEANS 1 pound sliced bacon 3/4 cup ketchup 1 cup diced onion 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cloves crushed garlic 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1/4 cup diced green pepper 2 20-ounce cans pork and beans With 12 coals on top and 12 on bottom, cook bacon. Drain grease. Add onion, garlic, and pepper. Saute 5 minutes. Combine ketchup, Worcestershire, and brown sugar. Mix together and add beans. Cook 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

CHICKEN AND RICE 1 pound bacon 4-5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 2 cups water 1 10-ounce can chicken broth 1/4 cup diced onion 1 10-ounce can creamy mushroom soup 1 diced garlic clove 1 envelope dry onion soup mix 1 1/2 cups brown rice seasonings to taste With 12 coals on top and 10 coals on bottom, cook bacon until done. Drain grease. Add chicken, onion, and garlic. Lightly brown chicken. Add all other ingredients, blend together, cover, and allow to cook for 30 minutes. Remove lid, stir, cover, and cook for approximately 15 more minutes until rice and chicken are done.
