This is for Scooch in Florida. We camp out every summer in the Mountains of Colo. We camp in a RV camp where there is no electricity, water or sewer is furnished. So we have to carry in everything we use. I pre-cook a lot of things so I don't have to do a lot of cooking when we are there. This time I had 8 to cook for. I take canned potatoes because it takes so long for potatoes to cook in the mountains. I also pre-make Sloppy Joe Meat, Taco Meat Chicken Salad but I do not add the onions when I freeze it. I will cook a roast for BBQ sandwiches. All of this can be frozen till you are ready to use it. You can boil potatoes for fried potatoes. I also make what my kids call Campfire Goulash.

Campfire Goulash

1-1/2 lb of ground beef meat browned and drained.
1/2 teaspoon of liquid hickory smoke.
3 sprigs of chopped parsley. Dry can be used instead of fresh.
1/3 cup of chopped onions. More or less to your taste.
2 or 3 packages of powder cheese( like the packages that are in the Mac and Cheese Dinners)
12 to 15 slices of American Cheese.
3/4 cup of Dry Coffee Creamer. More if needed to make creamy.
3 qts of chopped potatoes.
salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef Meat, onions, liquid smoke, salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess grease off of the meat. If there isn't a lot of grease I will not drain the grease off. I think it gives it more flavor.

Add the chopped potatoes, parsley and cover with water. Cook the potatoes till they are just done. Do Not drain the potatoes.

Add the dry coffee creamer to make it creamy and mix very good. It will not hurt if you break up the cooked potatoes some. Add the powder cheese and American cheese and mix very good. Stir often to keep from burning on the bottom. You want it to look like a gravy not soupy. If it is soupy add some instant potato flakes to thicken. It is served on bread or biscuits. This can be increased to serve more people by adding more ground beef meat and Potatoes.
