A Sea Of Red

Next weekend Mrs. Cider and I and about 5 or 6 other couples from our church are going camping up at Wildwood off of 130. Every family cooks one night for the whole group, and I have been assigned the first meal--Friday night--for about 12 to 15 people.

Any suggestions as to your favorite camping meal or recipe?

What are you using? A big grill? A small charcoal one? Over a fire? Do you have a burner?

I've got a pop-up camper with 3 burners inside, and outside I've got a 2-burner electric hot plate, a 2-burner gas stove, a charcoal grill, an electric skillet, 2 cast iron griddles, and a crockpot, if needed. I've also got 2 dutch ovens.

Last time, we did chilli, baked potatoes, grilled cheese sandwiches and had 2 cobblers for dessert--apple/peach and blueberry.

But I want to try something different this time. I'm thought about doing either grilled pork chops smothered in gravy and fried applies on the side OR grilled brats with peppers/onions and a bowl of gumbo. And I'm leaning toward banana pudding and another cobbler for dessert.

But I'm wide open for other ideas, if you have some favorite camping meals.

You have a winner.

My personal grilling favorite is Key West Chicken --> http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Key-West-C ... etail.aspx

Used to do this every year at the beach when we went, but my mother-in-law doesn't like chicken, so I decided to be nice and stop. I fix it regularly at home, though.

grill some chicken marinated in BBQ sauce, with mashed potatoes on the side

It all sounds good to me!
