Prime Rib for tailgating
Prime Rib (tailgating for the football season)

INGREDIENTS:
2 bone-in (2 1/2 lbs) Prime Rib
Aluminum foil
Olive oil
Chopped garlic
Fresh: Chopped Basil, Rosemary
Dry: Thyme and Basil
Italian seasoning
Chili powder
Yellow mustard

 
DIRECTIONS:
On the aluminum foil, lay the seasoning including chopped garlic, basil, rosemary, thyme and dry basil, Italian seasoning and chili powder.  Take your Prime Rib and spread olive oil on the surface.  Roll the Prime Rib in the seasonings until it is coated completely, then take yellow mustard and completely cover the entire Prime Rib.  Set the Prime Rib in a Dutch oven insert with the bone side down.  Cook with 16 coals on top and 8 coals on the bottom, you need to cook 25 minute for every pound of the Prime Rib, so if you have a 2 1/2 lbs Prime Rib the cooking time will be approximately 62 minutes.  The meat should just fall off the bone with a fork!  Enjoy!!!

 
This recipe will blow people's minds.  Prime Rib in the parking lot of a game or race!!!  As you can tell there is not a lot of ingredients and the best part of this recipe is that you can prepare it at home, wrap it up and then head to the game with everything ready for coking.  So when you get to the game or race all you have to do is get the coals ready and have your Dutch oven handy and you are ready to rock'n roll!!!

 
When this Prime Rib cooks up it's going to make it's own sauce and you don't want to miss out on the flavors so have a nice sour dough crispy bread to soak up the deliciousness!  You can also make Prime Rib sandwiches if you bring some creamy horseradish sauce and some Aus Jus dipping juice.  You will be the king of the parking lot if people smell the meat and sauce that comes from this amazing recipe!!!

Drunk

Mac:  It's grilling season and I want something delicious!

The Big Cheese:  Let me guess, you're gonna want to have a few beers or cocktails along with it as well?

Mac: Ahhhhhhh...DUH!!!  Beers and grilling go together like meat and potatoes!

The Big Cheese:  More like you and naps!  There's no reason why we can't prepare our meat with a little alcohol.

Mac:  That's right!  Finally you say something worthy of action.

The Big Cheese:  What do you have in mind?  Not too much alcohol, I don't want you passing out on the grill, wake up with grill marks on your face.  Actually that may be appropriate, like your face is in prison separated from beauty for life!!!

Mac:  Take it easy, you look like a broke Fred Flintstone.  I have this recipe that's gonna blow your taste buds to pieces!

The Big Cheese: Bring it on!

Mac:  It's called Drunk'n Flank Steak.  Here's the recipe...

Drunk’n Flank Steak
(Serves 4 to 6)

INGREDIENTS:
1 (2- to 2½-pound) flank steak
2 cups bourbon (we prefer Jack Daniels)
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
½ cup chopped fresh ginger
Salt and black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Throw the flank steak, bourbon, soy sauce, lime juice, red pepper
flakes, garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper in a 1-gallon resealable
plastic bag. Seal the bag tightly, and squeeze to mix. Let this marinate
for 20 hours but no longer, because the flavor will become
bitter. Any less and the steak won’t absorb the bourbon flavor. Grill
the meat on medium-high heat for 15 minutes, or until medium,
with little pink in the middle. You may want to flip the steak with
tongs every 5 minutes. Cut into the meat to make sure it’s medium
to medium rare.

Basil Lemon Salmon

This is an easy tin foil wrap recipe for anyone that has an outdoor grill.  As you can tell, I've wrapped the two vegetable sides in with the meal so it can all cook together.  I have spinach with garlic and extra virgin olive oil seasoned to liking and button mushrooms wtih garlic and olive oil as well. 

The Salmon was dipped in olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, then we covered it with chopped garlic and then placed thinly cut lemons, fresh basil, ground tyhme, oregano and lemon juice, wrapping it up in foil and put it on the grill.  This should cook on a medium/high heat for at least 20 minutes on both sides.  You may want to cook it longer if you like the fish to be cooked all the way through. 

It took me about 7 minutes to prepare this healthy meal and 35 minutes to cook it  completely.  I served it over a creamy mushroom rice with a salad. 

This meal has 4 of the healthiest foods you can put into your body.  Spinach, olive oil, garlic and salmon.  Eat right, feel great!

MORE S

MORE S'MORES, MORE S'MORES, MORE S'MORES.....

Graham Crackers, Marshmallow and Hershey Chocolate is the main staple of campfire desserts! I like to take it step further gourmet it up a little and sometimes change the combinations of this recipe.

Try dipping your marshmallow in Grand Marnier or Baileys Irish cream before roasting it over the coals, it really gives it a nice glaze and different flavor.

You don't always need plain Graham Crackers, you can always try shortbread, chocolate chip cookies and one of my favorite's Pretzel Crisps.

Hershey's Chocolate bar is easy to find at any camp site and so are s'more ideas like Reese's peanut butter cups or dark mint, huckleberry or caramel chocolates.

Are you ready for camping season? Now is the time to get your RV or trailer de-winterized before everyone else tries to overload the service areas. Too many campers will wait until the week before Memorial weekend and want the their unit by Thursday May 24th only to find out there is a two week waiting list. Make sure you not only check your trailer but your tow vehicle as well. Is it ready to pull all that weight this year? 

 

Pull out all your equipment from your garage set it up to make sure you have all your pieces to that shelter tent, hammock, horseshoe game and Dutch oven set. There is nothing worse than driving 200 miles to your favorite camp site and realize your gas hose for the propane tank has a hole in it or the hot water heater inside the trailer doesn’t work. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen unhappy campers trying to figure out why the fridge isn’t getting cold on camping day 1.

 

Make that list you promised yourself you would make at the end of the season for the odds and ends you didn’t have last year. Extra batteries, wet wipes, paper towels, dish soap, rain gear and repellent. Let’s face it people we are getting older and being very forgetful, remembering what we forgot nine months ago is impossible.  

 

Take it easy on your first trip out and keep your menu simple and try using recipes that can be prepared at home before you leave. Pre-make “Dad’s Potatoes” (see recipe below) to have them in your cooler ready to go when you get to camp. Place them on the grill with a marinated flank steak and dinner is ready in 30 minutes. Make sure you have left over potatoes to toss in the skillet the next morning, add eggs and you have a quick, easy breakfast scramble.

 

Don’t forget to take pictures and share them with us on facebook so we can make fun of you!

 

 

Dad’s Potatoes

(from page 142 of Ultimate Camp Cooking Cookbook)

Serves 6 to 8

3 tablespoons unsalted

butter, at room

temperature

Salt and black pepper,

for seasoning

Celery salt, for

seasoning

Garlic powder, for seasoning

1 pound seasoned Tater Tots

. cup chopped white onion

. cup seeded and chopped green bell pepper

. cup sliced white button mushrooms

. cup chopped zucchini

 

 

Lay 2 feet of aluminum foil on a table and rub some butter along

the middle. Add salt and pepper, celery salt, and garlic powder.

Don’t over season, because the Tater Tots are preseasoned. Put the

Tater Tots across the butter, then add the chopped vegetables.

Fold up the sides of the foil, making a canoe, then fold up the

ends to ensure that none of the mixture falls out. Now take

another piece of foil, wrap it around the air pocket, and roll like a

newspaper.

 

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on both sides over medium-high heat

either on a griddle, grill, or in a fire pit. It’s done when all the vegetables

are cooked through.

 

The great thing about this recipe is you can either cook it immediately

or throw it in your fridge or cooler and cook it later. This is a

good side dish while you’re camping. Because of the foil wrap there

is absolutely no cleanup. Everyone likes that.
