Feeding 40 scouts on 1 week campout. Need recipes for lunch, no sandwiches please.?

Question

All meals will be cooked on propane stove or dutch oven, fresh food to be brought in daily. Breakfast and Dinner are covered, but everyone says please, no more sandwiches for lunch. Boy scouts are 14 - 17 years old and will be helping with cooking.

Answer 1

This is my favorite camping food. Frito Pie

Go to costo and get those individual size bags of Frito's. Next heat up a big pot of chili. Have the boys open the bags drop a big spoonful of chili inside the bag and then have some shredded cheese they can put on top. Then they can just eat it right out of the bag, fun and easy! and there's a lot less garbage then full sized plates.

You can do the same thing with a potatoes as well

Hot dogs are also easy, if you can have a camp fire. Tell them to grab a tree branch and start cookin!

If it's possible try like a taco salad line. Get those tortilla bowls so they can just put everything in it and eat the "plate" when they're done.

Instant Rice and Veggies, Steam the veggies in a big pot and have teryaki or soy sauce for favor.

Ok here's the extravagant one. Get a big pot (Similar to those deep fry chicken cookers) and through anything you want into boiling water. Sausage, corn on the cob, little potatoes and a pack of Cajun spices. The boys can help by cutting up the sausage and corn into individual pieces. You let everything cook till it's done and then strain out the water (be careful!) and then you can literally dumb the contents onto a long table and say have at it!

Answer 4

I guess you could make a lot of soups. You can do strange combos. My novio made this for me once: He took Progresso Enchilada soup and a can of sweet corn and mixed it together. It was the greatest thing ever and had a real campfire flavor to it. So there is one possible option for you, but doing the conversion rates to feed that many mouths, I can't help you with.

Since you have a dutch oven you could also work on making stuff like meat loaf, pot roasts, baked potatoes, sloppy joes(just buy cans and meat and mix!), hamburger helper, stove top, etc.

Answer 5

try campfire pizza
you'll need peta bread cheese and sauce
spread the ingredients on the peta bread wrap in tin foil and cook till the cheese is melted
its pretty good
but if your dealing with a bunch of scouts 14-17 years old better go with hamburgers and hot dogs with beans and other veggies

Answer 6

I would recommend you to cook curry chicken. You just need chicken (no matter which parts), curry power, milk, salt, pepper and sugar (basic ingredients you must have it). First, pan fried the chicken until 80% and add curry power (depend on how spicy you can take), milk, salt, pepper and sugar until it boils. Then you can have curry chicken with rice or gargic bread/plain bread. It's easy and not difficult to cook. Also, it's good to have it in summer time.

Answer 7

Slow cooked pulled pork, mmmmm, sooo good when cooked long and slow over a campfire in a dutch oven.

Answer 8

Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed

Answer 9

If you are using dutch oven, how about meatball subs. I know they fall under the sandwhich category but they are so much more.

Answer 10

Well, if they dont want sandwhiches, why not just ask them what they want? and if they say they dont know, then just tell them they'll go hungry, you'll get an answer sooner or later. :-D
