Submitted by Lynn Heitmeyer This breakfast dish is best cooked in a large cast iron skillet over nice hot wood coals. To the skillet add 1/4 cup of canola, peanut or olive oil and 1/2 stick of butter. When the butter is melted into the oil, add one package of bacon that has been cut into 1" pieces. Spread them evenly across the bottom. On top of that add one package of frozen hash browns. I like the kind that have the diced onions and peppers already in the package. You can use the plain kind if you like and just add the onions and peppers to taste. You can also use "fresh" diced potatoes, and they are sooo de-lish, but they take longer to cook and let's face it, who wants to wait! Don't be tempted to stir them up right away. Let the bacon fry on the bottom until it looks about half-done and then give the mixture a good stir. This is where I add a litte salt and a bunch of freshly ground black pepper. Let the mixture fry until the potatoes on the bottom begin to brown. The grease from the bacon is not enough to coat the potatoes, that's why the extra oil is added. We sure don't want any bits to stick to the bottom. The butter is for flavor! Continue to fry, stirring only when potatoes on the bottom look done. When the mixture looks "nearly" ready, break open some eggs on top. How many eggs depends on how many people you are feeding. At this point I raise the skillet a little higher over the fire. Put a lid on it if you have one. It won't take long for the eggs to cook at this point. Don't stir it again, but take a large spatula and take a large serving of the potato/bacon/egg stuff directly from the skillet to the plate of the person who is drooling the most. This recipe can serve about 4 people if they have snacked on breakfast rolls and coffee while waiting. Less if they havn't. Chuck and I HAVE eaten the whole entire thing ourselves. Ingredient list: 1/4 cup oil 1/2 stick butter 1 pkg. bacon 1 pkg. "o'brien" frozen hash browns 4-6 eggs salt and freshly ground black pepper
Campfire Pizza Submitted by Lynn Heitmeyer This pizza is so delicious. It tastes like bistro pizza and smells so fantastic while it's baking that you can hardly wait til it's done! Make the crust first by using two boxes of those jiffy pizza mixes according to the directions. While the dough is rising, spread 1/4 cup of oil in a cast iron skillet or griddle and then sprikle some garlic salt and italian seasoning on top of the oil. Plop the dough down on top of that and spread it out. Top the dough with your favorite pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, peppers and any or all of the type of toppings you like on your pizza! Place the griddle/skillet on top of your grillmeister grill for baking. Make sure it is placed at medium heigtht over nice hot wood coals. I find it helpful to place an aluminum foil tent over it to help it "bake". It takes about 45 minutes to bake. Loosen the crust from the bottom before slicing with a pizza cutter. Serves 4-6 people. Hot-skillet Nachos for the Crowd Submitted by Lynn Heitmeyer Get the skillet nice and hot over the fire and brown two pounds of lean ground beef. Then add in two medium diced onions, four finely diced chili peppers, one small can of sliced black olives, one can of drained and rinsed black beans, one small can of drained sweet corn, one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon dried cilantro and the juice of one sqeezed lime. When this concoction is ready, slather it over a large tray of nacho chips and top with salsa, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese. Serves a whole bunch of people. |
