Camping recipes with cast iron cookware

from:

Cast iron cookware is some of the best and most popular camp cooking equipment to take with you to the campground, and camping recipes with cast iron cookware are a good thing to brush up on before heading out on your camping trip. Being ready with camping recipes with cast iron cookware, you can prepare delicious one-of-a-kind campfire meals to share with your friends or family.

Cast iron cookware is a popular camp cooking equipment choice because it is very durable, easy to use over the campfire, and will last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care. Many camping recipes with cast iron cookware call for dutch ovens, which are thick-walled cooking vessels with tightly fitting lids. Dutch ovens act just like a smaller version of your traditional kitchen oven, and allow you to bake food at the campsite. Depending on the size of your camping party, you can get a deep and wide dutch oven that will cook up many servings, or you can find a smaller and shallow dutch oven great for personal dishes.

Camping recipes with cast iron cookware are sure to give your dishes a unique flavor. Cast iron cookware has to be seasoned before it is used, and each meal that is prepared will bring more flavor. To keep your cast iron cookware seasoned, do not clean it with soaps or detergents. Simply scrub the insides with hot water. If you have used soap, or your cast iron cookware needs to be seasoned for the first time, cover the insides with cooking oil, place it in a kitchen oven until the insides smoke, and then wipe clean. For the best result, repeat this process one or two times more.

The best camping recipes with cast iron cookware take advantage of the slow heating of food that can be achieved while the cast iron absorbs heat. Chili, roast, soup and stew are great dishes to simmer up and create a hearty meal that will fuel you for your outdoor activities. The following chili recipe is great for warming you up on a cool night.

• Brown one pound of lean ground beef in the bottom of a cast iron dutch oven placed over hot coals
• Add one chopped medium onion and one chopped green pepper
• Add one can of diced tomatoes, one can of tomato sauce, one can of pinto beens, and one cup of water
• Season with one tablespoon chili powder and one teaspoon salt
• Stir all ingredients and bring to a simmer
• Simmer for about one hour, stirring occasionally
• Serve with grated cheese and crackers
