A few weeks after our camping trip to Arkansas
we enjoyed a campout meal - indoors!
We have a nephew and two nieces living nearby while they are in college
and we have them over to eat once a week.
The campout meal was a hit with them
and afterwards we enjoyed a slide show of pictures from the camping trip.
While Mr. H. cooked hobo meals on the grill,
I boiled some fresh corn on the cob on the stove,
baked biscuits in a cast iron skillet,
and made an apple pie, also in a cast iron skillet.
Shh! Don't tell, but I used a pre-made pie crust and a can of apple pie filling... ;-)
It was SO easy and delish.
A campout meal is fun!
Yes they are, and whether it's biscuits, cornbread, apple pie or apple crisp, they're all the better baked in cast iron skillets.
ReplyDeleteThe hobo dinners I remembered from camp inspired me as a young wife to bake other meals in foil packets. It saved me time, including on cleanup. Just meat, vegetables, sometimes potatoes, sometimes not, seasonings, a bit of this and that, and baked at 450 for 25 minutes or so.
