| Coffee Can Stew |
Meat: Bacon + meatballs(ground beef/turkey/sausage or storebought); beef stew meat; or diced chicken breast.
Diced Veggies: potatoes, carrots, green peppers, celery, rutabaga, tomatoes, onions, etc.
Various spices.
Water.
Oven mitts. |
| Empty coffee can and aluminum foil |
Put some cut up bacon in the bottom of the coffee can, this keeps the rest from sticking. Next layer meat, veggies, and spices until the can is about 3/4 full.
Put in about 1 - 1 1/2 cups water. Cover can tightly with foil. Sit can in hot campfire coals for about 1 hour. NO PEEKING! Use oven mitts to take cans out of the coals. Stir up stew and enjoy! |
| Have everything cut up beforehand and let each person add what they want to their stew. Dinner cooks itself while you find constellations with the kids! This recipe is a lot of fun and has been a favorite of Girl Scouts for years (my Cub Scouts love it too)! |
