how do you do baked potatoes in a crockpot?

Not sure if you are still looking for this or not...BUT........

Prick pots with fork. Wrap them in foil. Fill Crock-Pot with 6 to 12
potatoes. Cover. Go away. Cook on Low 8 to 10 hours (High: 2 1/2 to 4
hours]. Come back. Don't you dare add water!

Hope it helps.

Has anyone ever baked potaotes in their dutch oven. I'm new to this form of cookinng so any advice would be appreciated.

 

[ffpm63]

The first one I use to do in scouts. Dutch oven Pizza:
Use a tube of dinner rolls a small can pizza sauce and a regular size bag of mozerella cheese and any other ingrediants you like on pizza. Use the rolls as the crust in the bottom of a greased dutch oven put on the rest of the stuff and cook over a fire makes a nice thick crust pizza. Try to keep it on a cooler part of the fire so the bottom does not burn.

The other is a skillet breakfast.
One bag Potatoes O'Brien
1 smoked Sausage
1 dozen eggs
1 tsp veg oil
salt and pepper

Start with the potatoes and oil in the skillet cover cook approx 5 min
add the sausage
when this mixture is about done add the eggs beaten like scramble cook while stiring until eggs are done season to taste. Feeds 3-4 Firemen.

Bonus scout recipe:

If you are having a large gathering have everyone bring a can of their favorite soup mix together and serve with chowmein noodles. You would be surprised at how good the mixtures taste.

I'm planning our first trip to our seasonal campground this next weekend and I just finished my meal plan. Here is one right from Best Recipes cookbook, but I don't think they'll mind. In fact I highly recommend any of their cookbooks I use them all the time.

1 - 1 1/2 lb beef flank steak

1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel

1/2 cup lemon juice (I say you have to use FRESH - no yellow plastic bottles please!)

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano crushed

1/8 tsp pepper

Grilled lemon wedges (optional)

Shredded lemon peel (optional)

1. Trip fat from steak. (I've heard of people doing that, but I've never tried it. Fat is where the flavor lives!)
Score both sides of steak in diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts in 1-inch intervals. Place teak in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. (or flat and just turn regularly - no biggie).

2. For marinade, in a small bowl, combine the sauce, oregano and pepper. Pour marinade over teak seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours; turn occassionally. (I am making mine 2 to 3 days ahead and throwing in a zip lock).

3 Drain Steak, reserving marinade. Grill steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 17 to 21 minutes or until medium doneness (160 degrees) turning and brushing once with reserved marinade halfway through grilling. Discard remaining marinade.

4. To serve, slice steak across the grain, If desired, serve with grilled lemon wedges and garnish with additional lemon peel. Makes 6 servings. (I make a double batch - great leftovers if there are any.

I know this may seem like too much work to some but I love to cook and I will have it ready to grill before we leave for campground. I'm only 4 hours (tow time) from the Fort so I can get by with preparing before we leave.

I love this recipe by the way, it is a regular on our table.

Also trying this one:

3 medium bananas, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 1/2 cups large strawberries, halved

1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

1 pint vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup carmel and/or chocolate ice cream topping

chopped nuts

whipped cream

maraschino cherries

1. Soak eight 6 or 8 inch wooden skewers in enough water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Alternately tread bananas, strawberries, and pineapple onto skewers, leaving a 1/4 inch between pieces.

2. Grill fruit skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals about 5 minutes or until fruits are warm and bananas are lightly browned, turning occasionally. Remove from grill.

3. Place a scoop of ice cream and 2 fruit skewers in each serving dish. Drizzle with carmel and/or chocolate ice cream topping. Go wild with the other suggested toppings.

Does anyone know if you could pre-make kabobs and freeze this kind of fruit?

Sounds yummy though doesn't it?

Thanks for all the great ideas. We love campfire eclairs.

I can of pillsbury croissants
vanilla pudding
chocolate frosting

Use your marshmellow stick and wrap a big clump of aluminum foil around the end. Wrap one or 2 croissants around the end and cook over fire until golden brown. Carefully remove the cooked croissant from the foil (the smoother the foil the better). Place vanilla pudding in a ziplock and cut off one of the bottom corners. Gently squeeze the pudding into the croissant cavity. Add frosting to the outside and enjoy.

These can be a little messy, but very yummy

 

[VACAMPER]

1 pound boneless skinless chicken
1/2 med. pineapple
1 med. green pepper
1 med. sweet red pepper
1 large onion, spanish
1/4 cup orange juice or pineapple juice
3 med. garlic cloves
2 Tb. soy sauce

Lighly coat veggies with cooking spray. Thread chicken and veggies onto skewers. Brush with marinade. Grill over med. heat. Serve over rice.

This may sound very weird but I have gotten some great reveiws on it!

This all started as an elaborate plot to make the worlds most caffinated breakfast. In turn, I have invented the world's first Mountain Dew bassed Jelly!

core and peel one red apple and slice into bite size peices. Put a light coting of Mountain Dew in the bottom of a small frying pan. Gently fry till carmalized!

Then in a seprate pot pour apple peices into two cups of Mounain Dew and bring to a boil. Stir in Blackberry flavored Jello and stir stir stir!

Turn down the heat a bit and add two cups of sugar. Stir till everything's disolved. It dosn't take long

Next take a lemmon, chop in half and squeeze the juice out and stir into the mix.

Next remove from heat and chill until it looks like jelly, spread on your toast or bagal and enjoy with a glass of Dew or coffee!

Banana splits are my favorite ice cream dessert. Never thought of grilling the fruit - I bet it makes bananas so yummy! Thanks for this one!

My family and I are going camping in two weeks and never thought to bring along the slow cooker. You can only have so many hot dogs and hamburgers.

 

[specialkidsmom]

If you have a microwave, you can cook a pork tenderloin in the microwave in ten mins or so. (safe temp is 160.) Just add your favorite spices. You could also marinate before cooking. ( this is a fast and easy receipe we use all the time during baseball season.) serve on rolls as sandwiches or plain with easy sides or salads. (also this is great in your salad.)You really wont beleive how moist this is even though done in micro. Delicous******

Also we do bbq roast sandwiches. I cook a roast in the crockpot at home. Shred it and put in the freezer. When you get to the camp site and are ready to cook it, just dump it in the crock pot and pour bbq sauce over it and leave it on low or even keep warm for a few hours and it is ready for sandwiches when you return.

 

[specialkidsmom]

We like to make cheesesteak sandwiches. Walmart sells a box with about 4 patties in it. It takes about 3-5 mins even from frozen. Just add your favorite seasonings. Easy

 

[VACAMPER]

I was going to post this recipe and seen the prior post. Her way sounds alot easier.

1 1/2 pounds top sirlion steak
bell pepper, 1/2 in. slices
large onion, 1/2 inch slices
8 ounces mushrooms,quartered
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. onion soup mix
2 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 cup mayo
1 tsp minced garlic
6 slices provolone cheese
6 sandwich rolls

Slice steak into very thin slices. Place in a large ziploc bag.

in another bag place veggies.

whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion soup mix and worcestershire sauce. Pour half on steaks and half on veggies. Marinate.

Combine mayo and minced garlic.

Preheat saute pan on grill. Saute veggies 10-15 min. Grill steak,

Spread rolls with garlic mayo. Fill rolls with steak, veggies & cheese. Wrap sandwiches in foil and place back on grill to melt cheese.

Tip- put steak in freezer for a while to make it easier to slice.

I use a little extra meat and cheese.

My favorite campng dessert (ok, besides smores. But smores aren't a dessert as much as a staple) is banana boats.

Take banana, do not peel.
Slit it from top to bottom, and fill the slit with mni-chocolate chips, mini marshmellows and pecans. Wrap in foil, throw them on the coals. These are always a favorite on the night we made foil pack dinners.
