Peach Oatmeal Crisp
We like this recipe for its versatility. At home we enjoy it as a dessert, but when camping we like it as a hearty and filling breakfast. It matches up nice with a hot cup of coffee.
1 can Peaches or Peach Pie Filling
16 oz Oatmeal
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
Water
Mix all ingredients including juice from peaches. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand. The oatmeal needs time to soak up all the juice from the peaches. If the peach oatmeal mixture is too stiff, stir in a little water. Line a 10″ Dutch Oven with parchment paper (for easy clean up later). Pour mixture into Dutch Oven and smooth out evenly. Start with 20 charcoal briquettes. Use 5 on bottom and the remaining spaced evenly around the rim. Bake for about 45 minutes or until brown and bubbly on top.

If it is windy or cold add a few more briquettes as needed. If making this at home, bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remember to rotate the oven and then the lid 90 degrees to even out the heat. This should be done for all camp recipes after the first 20 – 30 minutes of cooking.
This recipe can be made with any available canned fruits. Nuts and Raisins can be added to round out this easy dessert.

1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Corn Oil
2 cups Honey

Remove Dutch oven from coals. Add potatoes and season to taste, stir to combine. Place oven over 5 briquettes, 4 in a ring and 1 in center. Cover and ring the lid with coals all the way around. Bake for 30 minutes, rotate oven and lid during cooking to even out heating. Sprinkle bacon over potatoes. Beat eggs and season. Pour eggs over bacon and potatoes. Cover and bake another 20 minutes. When eggs are done, Remove all coals, add cheese and replace lid. Let stand until cheese is melted. The Dutch oven will hold its heat for another 20 minutes or more.

The variations are endless for this type of dish. The bacon can be replaced with sausage, hot or mild. You could use frozen hash brown and the hash browns with the onion and bell pepper already in it. Almost any vegetable could be used, what do you like? Go for it, anything is possible.
“This is one of those dishes that we have every time we camp out or have friends over for Sunday Brunch in the backyard. Oh, so easy and a pleaser.”
I hope you like it, Camp Master
