Hey everyone! Im going camping for a couple weeks starting next week. I have spent hours looking through this board and copying recipes. Just wondering if anyone has any new recipes to share since most of these were not recent postings. Thanks! Dee in S. IL.

Note! Please use ONLY the baggies specifically for boiling, not regular zip loks!!!!!!!!!!! Chris in NM
this is a super easy and everybody have it their own way recipe but very yummy and perfect for camping. Before you start to make the omelettes you will need to set a pot of water on to boil which can be on your camp stove or over your campfire. You need the quart size freezer ziplocs 1 for each person, then any omelette ingredients your campers prefer. list of possibilities-ham cubes, bacon bits,diced cooked chicken, onions, green peppers, broccoli, shredded cheeses,or anything that works for you. just set out the carton of eggs 2 per omelette and have each camper crack their eggs into the ziploc. You can also bring a small container of half and half and put some into each bag but it works well with just eggs too. then everyone chooses from the extras what they would like in their omelette, drops it in their ziploc, then zips it up and puts it into the pot of boing water. It takes approx. 3 minutes, but you can check the doneness with tongs just lift the bag and look. It actually will roll itself up into an omelette shape in side the bag. When done just unzip roll onto your plate or into a soft tortilla, salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!!

Note-use smaller number (like 1# meat) for 2 to 4 people or larger number (like 2# meat) for 6 to 8 people or adjust for just the right number around your campfire!
Brown and drain well 1 to 2 pounds of lean hamburger, salt and pepper while cooking to taste Peel, wash and cube 5 to 10 potatoes Peel, wash and dice one small onion Peel (if you want to ), wash and slice 4 to 8 carrots Trim, wash and slice 3 to 6 stalks of celery
Add all of the above in a large pot with the following:
One can of cut green beans One can of hominy (optional) One can of whole kernel corn One can of Ro-Tel Tomatoes One can of green peas (optional)

Comments:
1 package of polish sausage sliced 1 green pepper sliced 1 onion sliced 1 package fresh mushrooms sliced (We use two, because we love mushrooms) 1 package hash browns, or potatoes o'brien garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste.
Mix all of the above in a foil bag. Roll up end to seal. When heated all the way through, cut a slit in the foil and serve out of the bag. NO DISHES TO CLEAN!!
The beauty of this is that you can make it at home before you leave to camp. Just pitch it in the cooler before you leave. When you get there throw it on the grate with a loaf of French bread. rolled up in foil)
My family loves this! It's a cinch and easily feeds my family of four with some left over.

[glow=red,2,300]Please folks!!!!!! Read the following before you use your zip loks to cook with!!!!!!!!!!!!![/glow]web.extension.uiuc.edu/mclean/news/news3600.htmlSay "NO" to the ZIPLOC OMELET FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 3, 2006 I thought it was important to respond to a questionably safe Food Fad, the ZIPLOC OMELET. It is the latest NOT recommended fad. Please... DON'T try this at home and we will tell you exactly why. What is circulating around again is instructions on cooking omelets in Ziploc bags. This is not recommended until further research is done on cooking with plastics. There is still question about the cancer causing breakdown of plastics and their contact with food during cooking. We have contacted the Ziploc company and they replied by telling us that ZIPLOC® brand Bags cannot be used to boil food. They also told us that they do not manufacture a "boilable" bag.... yet. They do not recommend using any ZIPLOC® brand Bag in boiling water, or to "boil" in the microwave. ZIPLOC® brand Bags are made from polyethylene plastic with a softening point of approximately 195 degrees Fahrenheit. By pouring near boiling water (water begins to boil at 212 degrees) into the bag, or putting the bag into the water, the plastic could begin to melt. Might I add that eggs and cheese have fat which gets much hotter than water thus the likelihood of melting the plastic increases. It is so easy to start something unhealthy like the idea of a ZIPLOC OMELET. All you have to do is type it up and send it out to everyone you know via e-mail. It spreads like wild fire. The ZIPLOC OMELET instructions start out by telling you "This works great !!!" But who ever started the idea had not contacted the company who manufactures the bag to see if such cooking techniques were recommended. Therefore people receiving the instructions might just assume this idea is safe and it is not. The specific concern centers on the possible contamination of foods with known carcinogens that may be present in plastic containers and wraps. This issue is certain to generate much research to clarify the potential risks. Until this issue is fully resolved, consumers who want to take a cautious approach should not use Ziploc type bags for boiling food in water or in the microwave. People should continue making omelets the old traditional way until plastic bag manufacturers come out with an approved safe bag that while heated containing food will produce no carcinogens.
