What makes a camp fire program great?   Getting it all planned out before you head to the camp out!

Dutch Oven Recipes

Here are two sites.. with *lots* of food ideas!

Hint:  Prepare some at home in getting the ingredients ready and pre-measured, and save a lot of effort in camp!

Pre-made from scratch pizza crusts could be partially cooked at home, and finished with toppings and sauce in a dutch oven, cooking in just a few minutes each.  Yum!
