Going camping: can anyone recommend any easy 1 or 2 pan recipes please?

Answer 1

Hamburger Tin Foil Packs:
hamburger patty covered with onion slices covered with carrot slices covered with potato slices; salt and pepper and toss the entire pack, sealed tight - of course, into the campfire for 10 to 15 minutes.

Answer 2

When camping weight and space are (or should be) at the for front of your mind - as should the ease of cooking/washing afterwards. You also need something nourishing as you need all of the energy that you can get. For these reasons dried food is a must (its light!!). Heres a list of foodstuffs that are ideal, some really obvious - some not so.
Knorr flavoured rice mixes (chicken & veg, Spanish, chilli, lemon& coriander etc)
Bean Feast (dried veggie mince dish, various flavours)
Cous cous (you can get all kinds and flavours)
Polenta (cornmeal, this is truly wicked as a tiny bit goes for miles when made up with water - you can add pretty much anything savoury but cheese and meats go particularly well in it)
Noodles (again go for pre flavoured -then jazz up with your own ideas).
Another advantage of dried foods is that they keep without refrigeration too. I know that they may seem, well - basic but if properly prepared they can be fantastic and with the weight, size and not having to keep cold they have it all.

Answer 3

I have been making this pizza dough since I was about 9 years old. It’s very easy. I use a Kitchenaid mixer and a dough hook, but you can also mix it by hand. Use a good-sized bowl if mixing by hand, as it will rise quite a bit. You can make it in advance if you want, but it doesn’t take very long. If I want pizza and have all ingredients on hand, it takes an hour from when I start making the dough to when I pull the finished pizza from the oven. 1 pkg rapid-rise yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons if you have loose yeast)--bread machine yeast is good too even if you don’t have a bread machine 1 cup warm (not hot) water 1/2 tablespoon salt 2 teaspoons olive oil (darker is better) 2 1/2-3 1/2 cups flour olive oil spray optional: add 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder (not garlic salt), onion powder, and/or oregano Makes 2 pizzas Preheat your oven to its lowest setting. Arrange the racks so that the mixing bowl will fit. As soon as it’s heated, turn it off. Pour the water into the mixing bowl. Add yeast, salt and oil. Mix gently. Add spices, if desired. Add 1 cup of flour, mix thoroughly. Keep adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a ball and the sides of the bowl are clean. If you add too much flour and it gets dry and breaks apart, add a tiny bit of olive oil (maybe 1/2 a teaspoon). Lightly spray the top of the dough ball with olive oil spray and put into warm oven for 15-20 minutes. You can punch it down halfway through to re-rise if you like but it’s not necessary. If you are not going to eat immediately, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and put into fridge. When you are ready to make the pizza, heat your oven to 450 F (fix the racks so they are even in the oven). I use regular simple metal pizza pans because I like a crispy crust; you can use a baking stone but that makes a softer crust (and some of them require pre-heating). I use those same pans for cookies. So I am not sure if you are saying you have round pans or square pans. You can use a square pan, of course. Shape doesn't matter to the taste. Halve the dough and roll it out using a rolling pin or hand-stretch it. Spray the pizza pans with olive oil spray. Make the dough slightly larger than the pans, place onto the pans and then hand-roll the edges to form the crust. Swirl a tablespoon of olive oil onto the dough before adding sauce & toppings; I like the spray the rolled edges with olive oil as well. Cook for 15 minutes; halfway through switch the pans’ positions so they cook evenly. If you want to freeze this dough, don’t let it rise before you seal it in plastic. Thaw it in a large covered bowl on the counter; when it starts to rise then put it in the preheated (lowest setting) turned-off oven as above. It takes a couple of hours to thaw.

Campfire Chili

Ingredients
1 can hot chili red beans
1 can chili seasoned chopped tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can tomato juice
2 pound(s) hamburger
1 onion
1 small carrot
1 small potato
chili powder
tabasco sauce
Directions
Shred the carrot and the potato. Add chili powder and Tabasco sauce to taste. Brown hamburger, then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook over fire embers for at least 4 to 6 hours with a light boil. Serve and Enjoy!

30 Minute Goulash

3 Tbsp oil and/or butter
2 cloves garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic)
1 large onion
1 pound(s) ground beef
1 26 ounce can of whole tomatoes
1/2 tsp dill seed
1 tsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In 3 tbsp of oil or butter, saute 2 cloves of fresh garlic, peeled and chopped (or later, when browning the meat, add 1/2 to 1 tsp of powdered garlic, depending on your taste. While the garlic is simmering, peel and slice (about 1/4' thick slices) 1 large onion (of any kind). Do not chop. Add it in its whole rings, and turn up the heat all the way. When the onions are soft and beginning to brown, add 1 lb of ground beef, not too lean as fat adds flavor. Mix with the onion and garlic and cook until brown (at this point, if you are really concerned with fat and chlorestorol, drain exceess fat). Add salt and pepper to taste. While the meat is browning, open a 26 oz can of whole tomatoes. When the meat is brown, add the juice from the can and the tomatoes, tearing them into small pieces with your fingers. This creates a juice, rather than a gravy. If the tomatoes come in a thick sauce, add water until it becomes juicelike. This is important, since it will be served over rice. Add 1/2 tsp of dill seed and 1 tsp of dried (or fresh, chopped) parsley. Cover and simmer. Cook 1 cup or your favorite rice. When the rice is done, so is the goulash. Place 1/2 cup of rice on each plate and cover with goulash, making sure to serve with plenty of juice. A salad and brown-and-serve dinner rolls go well with this, too.

Cheesy Sausage Skillet

Answer 5

i am assuming you will be using a portable gas stove?
try instant packet noodles- follow packet instruction and jazz it up by adding some chopped cabbage or lettuce to the soup..... another great one is instant mash (get the ones where you only need to add water- dehydrated butter and milk should be in the list of ingredients- and try getting flavoured mash if poss ie- butter flavour, four cheeses)... Drain and heat some canned vegetables in pan in enough water to make up mash (as per instructions) and add instant mash powder and voila! Not quite posh nosh, but you can whizz it upboth recipes in less than 10 mintues
