Going Camping!

Camping is quintessential to experiencing the wonders of the state of Maine. You can listen to the loons call in the evening, and wake to the sunrise—there is simply no better way to be part of our rich history and natural beauty than camping in the North woods or on the serene coastline. My favorite spot has a cabin and electricity..it is ruffing it enough for me. But, you can take the camper and tents sometimes too, just for the fun of it. Meals can be fun and easy when camping, of course there are a lot of times it consists of fish, we are in Maine, lol, but you just make sure to have a variety of dishes to choose from when it comes to serving up the troops! Let's start with these:

Burgers In Foil

2 lbs. Ground Beef

1 large Green Bell Pepper, sliced

Minced Onion Flakes

1 Can Sliced White Potatoes, drained

Worchestershire Sauce

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Aluminum Foil

Form 4 beef patties and place each in a square of aluminum foil.

Top with equal portions of sliced bell pepper and potatoes. Shake

on minced onion and worchestershire sauce on each patties. Salt

and pepper to taste. Seal foil, checking for leaks. Place on hot coals

for 10 to 15 minutes per side. These come out yummy and ready to

feed your hungry campers.
