Egg Bake

I made this on our May trip for a hungry group of four. We were base camping and I really wanted to use my new reflector oven.

Cook 1 Pkg. of Stove Top Stuffing as per instructions
Grease, butter or spray a 9" X 9" foil cake pan
Fill pan with cooked stuffing, level and push to edges
Top with what ever you like. I used rehydrated bulk Jimmy Dean sausage, rehydrated mushrooms, green peppers, and onions
Pour 8 scrambled eggs over everything
Drop some grated cheese on top
Cover with foil and bake, turning 1/4 turn every 15 min. until eggs are done.

You could use powdered eggs, I used farm fresh.
I also dehydrated all other ingredients myself.

It sounds like a lot of work but it really is not.
Very filling, tasty, and light weight. Great if you have the time.

BUTTER a frypan/griddle, stir in handfull diced dried Apricots.

Potato pancakes (for two people)

1/2 box dehydrated hashbrowns - rehydrated according to package directions.
1/4 cup dehydrated onions - rehydrated with the potaotes.
A couple slices crumbled ready-to-eat bacon
Garlic powder and black pepper as desired.
Bavarian potato pancake mix: 1/2 box or more depending on desired consistency.

Add Water. Start with 1/2 cup, then add more if making more pancakes or until pancakes are a little thinner than mashed potatoes. This is a TOTAL guess on amount, I've never measured it!

Let mixture sit a few minutes, adjust consistency. They should be thick enough that you need to squish the patty down, but not dry.

Heat a griddle or frying pan until it sizzles, then fry pancakes in plenty of oil or butter until golden brown on both sides.

Serve with apple sauce or ketchup.

Breakfast Burritos

This recipe works well for camping because you can do it in one pan. I usually cook everything at home and freeze it, then add the eggs at the campsite.

1# Hamburger (or sausage)
1 jar Salsa (no glass)
1/3 block Velveeta
6-12 eggs (based on "egg preference")
Tortillas or Tortilla Chips
Franks Redhot

Brown hamburger(or sausage) in pan
Add salsa after draining hamburger
Add Velveeta and stir until everything is blended
Add eggs and cook until eggs are done

Serve with Tortillas or Tortilla chips and Frank's Redhot

Warnings - This is heavy for portaging, so eat it the first day.

Bagel Sammys
(Not much cooking required and its one of my favorites.)

Bagels toasted in frying pan
Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese (does not need refrigeration)
Sliced onion
Sliced Tomato (I store tomatoes in a legg egg keeps them from getting smashed, works well with avocado's also)
Smoked fish from the Grand Marais smoke house mmmmmmm
Fried Egg optional

Old school Jewish deli breakfast sammys with a BW twist.


I like coconuts because when you break them open it reminds me of women lying in the sun. And if I had my way there be coconuts for everyone "Widespread Panic"

My son threw this omelet together yesterday and it made an impression on me: Very tasty. I suppose it could be made with dried ingredients as well. The taste of that is yet to be determined by me. It was excellent at home, so here goes:

4 eggs
1/3 C sliced mushrooms
1/2 C Mexican shredded cheese blend
1 heaped TBL chopped green onion tops (scallions)?
1/3 +? C coarse chopped tomatoes (juice/seeds removed) ADD LAST
DAB BUTTER to grease skillet

Cook all over MED to MED LOW HEAT.

Breakfast Couscous, Freezer Bag Cooking style (created by me based on recipes in the Freezer Bag Cooking cookbook)

Serves 1

1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
1/4 cup dried fruit, cut into smaller pieces if large
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch of salt

Put all of the ingredients into a quart freezer bag.  

In camp, add 1 cup near boiling water, stir well, and put into a cozy for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!

Notes: of course you can put it into a bowl when eating or adding the hot water. But the bag and cozy combo will keep it warmer and do a faster job of "cooking" the couscous. For the brown sugar, I like granulated brown sugar (yes this exists...the kind I have says "Brownulated Sugar") because it does not get clumpy and hard, so you can make this some time ahead and still have good results. I find this to be a nutritious, quick, and filling breakfast with staying power.

The new mountain house breakfast skillet "wraps" are actually pretty good. Tried them for the first time during a cold labor day weekend last year in the BW. Wrapped in tortillas and some hot sauce was best. Quick, easy, and hot.

My pancake substitute, just as good, is muffin mix. Betty Crocker packet from Walmart, takes 1/2 cup water only.


-Dump powder in a one quart bag, add water, zip shut.
-Mash it until mixed.
-Cut corner off bottom of bag.
-Heat a little bit of oil in pan.
-Squeeze out into two inch cakes (bout 1/2 inch thick).
-Turn when done on first side (kinda hard to turn).
-Remove and coat with sugar.


Viola! Crispy edged muffin cakes! Comes in banana but, chocolate chip, and berry flavors

Added from the main Recipe forum...

BW Pancakes
This is very simple, tastes great, and is filling.

You need:
Krusteaz Pancake mix (can be any kind)
Mixed dried fruit (the smaller the pieces, the better)
I Can't Believe It's not Butter - squeeze bottle kind.
Oil

The amounts vary depending on how much you want but basically a good handful of dried fruit for two people will do.

In a pot or bowl poor boiling water onto the dried fruit - enough to fully cover it. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes - this rehydrates and softens the fruit.

Do not drain the fruit (the water will be flavored) - mix the water/fruit with the pancake mix and add more water to get the consistency of batter you want.

Fry em up.

We often don't even use (or bring) syrup as these are pretty tasty without. Just put a little ICBINB on top and enjoy.

I am a biscuits and gravy addict. Below is the original recipe of what we will be having for our first breakfast in the BW. I then listed my modifications. I got the original off of www.blazethetrail.com. It is a website for the Redwood Creek Vineyard.

*******

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
2 can of evaporated milk plus two cans of water.
1/4 cup flour give or take a table spoon mixed with enough water to make a loose
paste.
1/8th teaspoon garlic powder.
black pepper and salt to taste.
1 regular can of biscuits

INSTRUCTIONS:
Brown the sausage and crumble as you cook. Drain all the sausage grease except 3 tablespoons. Add the milk and water, salt and pepper and garlic powder. Then add the flour and water mixture. Stir with a whisk and cook on campstove or on campfire grate till thicker.

Cut each biscuit into quarters and add to the gravy. Turn down heat to
medium low or set it on the campfire grate over hot coals and don't
open the lid for five to ten minutes. Then eat and enjoy. The
biscuits cook just like dumplings but without having to make
biscuits in another pan. I make this at home on my kitchen stove also! So tasty.

My modifications.

There are only two of us, so I cut everything in half and used one of the mini cans of biscuits. Instead of canned milk, I am using a carton of shelf stable milk. Also, I ended up cooking the biscuits about 15 minutes and I turned them over after about 10 minutes.

You could use powdered milk and also a just add water biscuit recipe.

Finally, the final product is more like dumplings and gravy instead of biscuits and gravy, but they had a good flavor. I think the quality of the sausage will determine if you like this or not.

I tried this on my trip last week. It was really well received: I made extra servings and all was consumed. It's a favorite at Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis.

Mahnomin Porridge:

4 cups cooked wild rice
¼ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup dried blueberries
¼ cup craisins
½ cup roasted, cracked hazelnuts
1 cup heavy cream

Serves 4.

Preparation:
In a heavy non-stick saute pan (I used a large pot), add the cooked wild rice, heavy cream, and maple syrup, and warm through.
Add the blueberries, craisins, and hazelnuts, and stir to mix well.
Serve in a bowl with sides of warm heavy cream and maple syrup.

FYI: I copied this off the KARE11.com site for those who also might want to try it.

From the HK menu:
"The recipe, adapted from 1800’s trappers’ journals as they journeyed up the St. Louis River, has since become one of the most popular menu items at Hell’s Kitchen."

I like to eat hearty on the trail, but am aware of weight/cooking time being an issue-this is super light, one pot & 3 minutes from pack to plate. So far this is my all time favorite...hot, filling and delicious. It's homemade!


Hash browns with eggs & sausage (Eggbake)-adapted from Linda Yaffe’s Backpack Gourmet
Serves 6-8 3 minutes from pack to plate Need a dehydrator


10-12 medium potatoes (4 ½-5 lbs)
2 large onions
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoons of lawry’s seasoned salt or goya adobo
2 teaspoons garlic powder
12 oz pork sausage- minced (or beef, turkey, soy)
10-12 eggs beaten
1 cup grated parmesan cheese


Grate the onions & potatoes, put them in a colander to drain, press out any moisture. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven, add the potatoes, onions, pepper, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Stir constantly until cooked down- 10-15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add sausage, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease a 10-13-inch casserole dish. Stir the eggs & parmesan cheese into the potato mixture in the pan. Spread the mixture into the casserole dish, bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cut the casserole into serving sizes, break up the mixture & spread individually on covered dehydrator trays or lightly oiled fruit roll-up trays. Dehydrate for 4 ½ hours at 145 degrees or until dry. Let cool overnight in the dehydrator. When cool, vacuum seal in food saver bags.


To rehydrate-Cover with water ½ inch above the level of the food, boil, stir & serve.
-Or cover with water overnight in a Fairshare mug just to level of food, boil, stir & serve.


Notes-I have a salad shooter which is terrific for shredding. I season to taste-above is a guideline. You can fry bulk sausage separately, chop with a spatula-then add to the other ingredients…just make sure to add the grease too-you'll need that on the trail.

Eggs in a Bag
---------------
Recipie below is per person. Adapated from something I was taught in the Boy Scouts.
---------------
2-3 eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheddar (or other cheese)
2 strips pre-cooked bacon (optional)
Pinch of salt
Dash of pepper
1 zipper seal baggie (sandwich size)
---------------

Crack the eggs into the bag. Add shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and bacon (optional).

Carefully seal the bag, squeezing out any air (this is critical--otherwise, the bag will pop open while cooking). Squeeze the bag to mix the ingredients. Be sure to break the yolks.

Place the bag into a pot of boiling water. Let cook approximately 10 minutes, or until firm. If desired, remove after five minutes and massage the baggie (be sure to use a hot pad or insulated glove) to ensure even cooking. When done, remove the baggie with spoon or ladle. [Use tongs at your own risk, as they may puncture the baggie (a problem if you need to return it to the pot to cook further).]

Eat directly from the bag and you have one less dish to clean!

Variations: Add jalepeno peppers, diced onions, diced green peppers, mushrooms, ham, or any other favorite ingredients.

We made this up the day before we left~worked great!

Freezer French Toast:

4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (we use cinnamon, instead)
10 slices French bread (we usually only bring 6)
1-2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg (or cinnamon) in a large bowl. Let mixture soak bread for several minutes, turning to coat. Freeze.

We went up last weekend, so it was fairly chilly and the bread was just unthawing the next morning. It tasted great!

YOGURT

Buy freeze dried yogurt. Pulverize it in a food processor or blender. The finer you can make it, the better.

In camp, slowly add water and mix until you have a nice consistency.

Here is a blog post about it from trailcooking.com.

We did this last year and it was good; both kids liked it. It's slightly grainy, but I may not have pulverized it as much as I should have ahead of time.

Fruity pebble or Coco pebble rice crispy bars.

I vacuum pack these and toss one or two in my pocket and eat them on the go if I don't want to mess with heating something up and just get going. My last group loved these.

When vacuum packing, don't get all the air out, just most of it. It changes their texture, but they still taste ok.

This year, I think we made one of the best breakfasts since our BW trips started.

Started with 2 boxes of Hungry Jack hash browns. The kind that come in that little milk carton thingy.

After you rehydrate per instructions, add 3/4 Cup of those Durkee fried onions, the same kind you use when you make string bean casserole.

Break up one package of pre-cooked bacon into small pieces, OR, 2 individual serving size packs of SPAM.

Add one package of cheese mix from a mac-n-cheese or the cheese mix from an augratin potato mix.

Mix all together, coat a pan with butter, fry up till golden brown.

Served 4 of us.

Delicious.

Here is one more easy one the I use as a first morning breakfast or if I am car camping. My kids always enjoy it.

1 Carton of Egg Beater
1 pint of shelf stable milk
1 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs of Vanilla
1 Loaf of Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Bread or personal subsitute

Freeze the carton of Egg Substitute. (Handier and easier to travel with than eggs)

At breakfast time, beat together everything but the bread. Dip the bread in the egg mix and fry it up with a little oil in the pan.

I serve it up with syrup, Parquay squeeze butter, and either bacon or sausage.

The only complaint I get is that I will only make this camping and not at the house. The heels even get eaten with smiles on their faces.

It serves 4 barely if they are hungry. If you have 4 and you are working hard, I would add some fried potatoes, too.

Oatmeal with Fruit Stew

I am not a fan of oatmeal but cooking up some fruit stew and adding to the oatmeal can make it palatable for me!

1 cup oatmeal per person
1/4 cup dried fruit per person
1 cup brown sugar
cinnamon to taste

Mix dried fruit with brown sugar and cinnamon, add enough water to go over fruit mix by about 1 inch. simmer over low heat stirring occasionally, until fruit is rehydrated and tender.

In separate pot prepare traditional oatmeal (not instant) at a 1:1 ratio with water. Simmer over low heat until tender.

Mix fruit stew with oatmeal and enjoy!

Just tried breakfast pistachio rice pudding from the trail cooking website using the freezer bag method. Pretty yummy!


Made freezer bag cozies out of water repellant fabric left over from sewing covers for the mattresses for my teardrop trailer (a work in progress) plus Insul-Brite fabric that has a reflective layer in polar fleece-like fabric. Seemed to do the job all right.
