Adapting Recipes for Camp outs

Some of the recipes from the home cooking section can be adapted for camping.  For example, Chili can be cooked on a camp stove and serve over baked potatoes that have been cooked in the coals.  Add to that roasted corn on the cob in the husk and you have adapted well!

Most recipes that are baked can be made in a Dutch oven.  For example, Lasagna, Enchiladas, cakes, breads and many baked desserts can be baked in a Dutch oven in place of a home oven.  The big wild card is the temperature of the fire, which will determine how long to cook it.

This isn't a problem with foods that don't really require cooking; they just are heating things up and becoming bubbly and delicious.  This is true for canned vegetables-- they are already cooked so as long as they are warm inside, they are delicious!  But if the meal uses raw meat, eggs or batters that need to cook fully, there may be a problem if one isn't sure it's fully cooked.  Keep this in mind when adapting recipes for a campout or Dutch Oven.
