Recipe News: Camping season isn't over yet - not with these recipes

Back in my days as a Girl Scout, I remember a meal called coffee can stew. We threw vegetables and meat into a coffee can and placed it around a wood fire to cook while we were off doing what every Girl Scouts did. When the day was over, we opened out coffee cans and had a meal I still remember.
There is nothing like stew over an open camp fire. While Carol Oyster's Camp Stew can be made on a stove, it would be just as easy to make in a cast iron Dutch oven over and open fire.

Add some homemade biscuits, and sit back around the fire and enjoy.

Leanor Robinson also sent in a recipe for camping, a taco salad with very little fuss or muss. Heating up the chili could be done over a camp fire has well.

Don't forget that steak on the grill. Check out Arlene Dempster's mushroom sauce for a little punch.
