  2. Crock Pot "Dump" Cake I got this recipe from my cousin and make it often. It can be doubled, I increase the cooking time a bit. Great served over ice cream! Lightly grease bottom of crockpot. Place one bag of frozen peaches or 2 cups of fresh sliced peaches. Add 1 TBSP cornstarch, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Toss to mix. In a seperate bowl mix together 1 box of Jiffy white cake mix or 1/2 of a 181/4 ox white cake mix with 4 TBSP melted butter (mixture will be very thick); spread over fruit. Cover and cook on high for 3-31/2 hours. It comes out like
  3. For microwave cakes, the typical recipe is one package of cake mix. One can of pie filling and 3 eggs. You can use chocolate cake with cherry pie filling, lemon cake with lemon pie filling. Spice cake with apple pie filling. Mix and match any flavors you want. I typically add 1/4 cup of applesauce to the mix if I use a pie filling with big chunks of fruit it in like the apple or the cherry. You microwave the cake on high for 1000 watt ovens just 1/4 of the time you would normally bake the cake. If you microwave has a higher wattage, microwave at 75% power. Let the cake sit for 1/4 of the micro
  4. Margherita Marinade 1 can frozen Bacardi Mixers margherita mix-thawed 1 T minced garlic-fresh is best 1 T fresh cilantro Mix and marinate meat ( chicken, shrink, flank steak) overnight in the fridge. Its completely alcohol free and family friendly!
  5. Upside Down Chocolate Pudding Cake 1 cup Bisquick 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup and 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa 1/2 cup milk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 2/3 cup hot tap water Mix bisquick, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 Tbsp. cocoa, milk and vanilla. Spoon batter evenly into lightly greased crockpot. Mix remaining sugar, cocoa and hot tap water. Pour over the batter that is already in the crockpot. Cook on high 2 1/2 hours or until batter no longer looks shiny on top. *Note:* This ends up looking like a cake from the top, but when you slice (scoop) the cake, there is a layer of pudding underneath it. Very rich! Serve warm.

  8. If you are looking for a roast recipe you have got to try this one. It is from the What's For Dinner Thread on the Community Board. Everyone over there raves about it. I've made it a couple of times and it is great. Sounds kinds weird with those 3 envelopes but it makes a fantastic gravy. Serve with potatoes or make sandwiches! beef roast 1 envelope Ranch dressing mix 1 envelope Italian dressing mix 1 envelope brown gravy mix 1/2 cup water Place roast in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine mixes and water. Whisk together. Pour over roast. Add some cut up celery and carrots to the pot. Cove
  9. Pork Roast 2 Apples 1 medium onion 1 cup maple syrup 1 cup wine Cook in crockpot 6 hours until falling apart Yummy over rice or mashed potatoes!
  10. Kielbasa and Brown Sugar Here's an easy crock pot recipe. Get two links of Turkey or Polksa Kielbasa and cut into bite size pieces. Add about 3/4 cup of brown sugar and stir til all the kielbasa is covered. Heat on high for 3- 4 hours or low for 7-8. This is a great appetizer or meal. When I serve it as a meal I cut back on the brown sugar I use. A nice salad and rice pilaf makes this quick and easy!
  11. We like to put 1 1/2 - 2 lbs - of round steak cut into serving sizes in the crockpot, cover it with dry beefy onion soup mix and 1 can cr. of mushroom soup and 1 can of cr. of chicken soup (the low fat soups work great). Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 8. I serve it over baked potatoes done in a different crockpot or noodles if we have time.
  12. Not really a recipe but I like to buy several pounds of on sale ground turkey and brown it at home with onions and green peppers. I divvy it up in meal-sized portions and freeze in Ziplocs. Then at the campground I just add the ground turkey and whatever sauce I want to the crockpot. Spaghetti: Add spaghetti sauce of your choice. Sometimes I add the noodles to the crockpot (macaroni works best for me), sometimes I cook them separately if we want real spaghetti. When I do the macaroni I stir it in after we get "home", top the whole thing with cheese and cook it on high for about 30 more minutes
  13. Microwave Cake from Cooks.com 1 box reg. cake mix ( any flavor) 3 eggs 1/3 c. oil 1 c. water Mix all ingrediants together and pour batter evenly into a microwaveable bundt pan or cake dish and microwave on medium high for 10 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes if your microwave is not equipped with a turntable. If it's not done, keep microwaving it for intervals of 3 to 4 minutes. Cake is done when it pulls away from the sides of the dish and it looses its "wet" look and/or when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. A white or yellow cake will not brown in the microwave so if
  14. Try this out in the crock pot. Its easy and the FW kids loved it! 1 small jar grape jelly 1 small jar chili sauce 1 package kiebasa, cut up cook on low 3 hours. serve with crackers and cheese.
  15. Peach Yum Yums Take peach halves and place them on aluminum foil square. Put 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in the hole and sprinkle with cinnamon plus a few minature marshmallows. Fold up foil and place in campfire untill marshmallows are melted....delicious!
  16. Crockpot Desserts We love to camp and we love our sweets but we get tired of the banana boats and s'mores all the time. So we pull out the crockpot and with 3-5 ingredients have amazing dessert. You can also use a dutch oven over coals. If you do this line your dutch oven with aluminum foil for quick clean up! We make something called dump cake. The premise is a box of cake mix, filling, stick of butter/margarine and spices. Filling goes in the bottom, sprinkled with a box of cake mix, pour melted butter over that and sprinkle with spices. Cherry Cordial/Black Forest dump cake is a can of cher
  17. Silver Dollars! I didn't see any posts about silver dollars. Growing up a Girl Scout, we always made them at camp. I now make them for my family and they are a big hit! I freeze hamburger patties at home (ground beef mixed with onion soup mix) sliced or diced potatoes (or whole red ones) baby carrots broccoli (optional) onion At camp, put one patty and a handful of each veg onto a large square of heavy duty foil. Wrap it up and toss it onto the coals about an hour or two. I've also done this at home in a reynolds cooking bag in a 9x13 pan, just put all patties on the bottom and toss veggies on
  18. crock pot sheppards pie before you leave prepare and freeze: browned/drained ground beef, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 small can peas (or corn, or what ever veggie gets you going), 1 small can mushrooms. AND in a different container prepare and freeze: mashed potatoes (we like to spike ours with some garlic powder and some grated cheese) when you go to make it in the crock pot: generally the two frozen things above are pretty much thawed so you can spread them in two layers (meat on bottom, taters on top) in your crock pot and cook on low for about 4-5 hours. (if you are going to be gone lo
  19. mexican crockpot chicken 2 or 3 frozen chicken breasts 1 very large jar salsa (or two smaller ones) 1 can cheese soup (if you like your stuff spicier - like we do) at least one jalepeno pepper seeded and chopped. cook on low in crockpot for 6-8 hours. can be eaten over rice, but we usually just use paper bowls and scoop it up with corn chips. it's a snack, it's a meal, it's both. don't forget to toss some extra grated cheese, a dollup of sour cream and some chopped green onions on top of each serving if you feel like getting fancy.
  20. Sticky Chicken An absoulte favorite of our family. It started as a camping meal that we brought inside. Sticky Chicken Favorite cuts of chicken (drumsticks seem to work best, but use what you like) French Dressing Orange Marmalade Onion Soup Mix Place chicken in a dutch oven (can also be made in a crock pot or oven). Pour ingredients over chicken. Cook chicken until done. First time we did this we had half the camp ground coming over to find out what smelled so good. It smells wonderful, tastes fantastic, and is really messy to eat. Enjoy. goofytime2000 is offline Report Post
  21. One of our crockpot favorites is to use either 4 chicken breasts or legs, or 4 pork chops, one can of cream of mushroom soup, and 1 envelope dry onion soup mix. Add two soup cans water and one soup can rice. Let it cook 6 hours or so on low. My family really likes this combination.
  22. Crockpot Lasagna 1. Make and freeze or refrigerate meat sauce before leaving home. 2. Buy oven ready lasagna noodles. 3. Defrost meat sauce, layer with noodles and cheese, cook on low about 3 hours and voila - you're done. 4. Depending on our mood we'll toss a salad and do garlic bread - or just have lasagna. We usually do this on an afternoon that we spend around the Fort cause we are gone too long at the parks to do this one.
  23. Crock Pot recipe: Boneless, skinless chicken breast. Place in crockpot. Cover with one jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce. Cook on low 8 hours. Chicken will be so tender and flavorful it will fall right apart. For complete meal, cook up spaghetti and serve chicken over top. Add toasted garlic bread and a bagged salad.
  24. crockpot dessert I have an easy and yummy one! 2 cans condensed milk...let cook on low for 4 hours , slice bananas into slices of your size choosing, spoon milk over bananas and let cool....pour herseys syrup over that...YUMMY and very rich...you may have to spoon instead of slice it but it is delish!!
  25. Microwave Cake Recipe For those of us who have the luxury of a microwave in our RV , I was at a wedding shower this past week and the bride received a silicone cake pan. According to the wrapping you can prepare a cake in the microwave using this type of pan. Does anyone have a recipe for this that you could make using a cake mix ? This would be great money saver at Fort Wilderness as my children would not be begging me to buy the chocolate cake they sell at the Meadow and Settlement. I have also heard you can cook desserts in a crockpot. Any camping friendly ones to share?
