Perhaps the “Camp Cook’s Motto” for the title of this thread got your attention? If so, read on.

This is an extremely easy camp breakfast entitled “Potato and Egg Scramble”. I tend to keep my camp cooking simple with recipes of no more than five ingredients and cooks up in one pan. Although this recipe as listed will feed four hungry campers, you can adjust it for less. It is also vegetarian as listed, but you could add a meat item as needed.

2 Diced Medium Potatoes
8 Eggs, stirred
1 Chopped Onion
2 Chopped Peppers (your choice)
2 Tablespoons Butter (I use Ghee)

This wholesome breakfast is an easy camping meal and a great way to start the day. It cooks up in one pan and serves about four. First, add 1 Tablespoon of Butter into your fry pan and put it over the camp stove. Melt it and spread it around. Second, add the Potatoes, Onions, and Peppers. I like the Potatoes to be in chunks and for the Onion and Peppers to be chopped, but it is your choice. Cooked these until the Potatoes are tender and the Onions and Peppers are nice and cooked. It takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on your heat source. Third, add the next Tablespoon of Butter and, once it is melted, add the Eggs. The Eggs will fill all the spaces in between the Potatoes, Peppers, and Onions. But to ensure even cooking time, cover the pan with lid or tin foil and let it cook until the eggs are nice and ready, about 4 minutes.

Just a few “lessons learned” from my days of camp cooking.
  • Make sure you have a first aid kit which contains items to treat burns and cuts.
  • Burns from campfires and camp stoves are the number one cause of camping injuries.
  • Make every attempt to use a stable surface for cutting fruits/vegetables/cheese/dried meats or consider cutting them in advance of your camping trip.
  • Although kiddos may enjoy helping with meal prep and cooking. The safest approach is allowing only one cook in the camp kitchen at a time. (Spoken from experience!)
  • Please do not let your camping gear, recipes, or experience level stress you out. All food cooked outside taste better. You can do this! (By the way, that meal with the pumpkin muffins tasted yummy.)

When dealing with the kiddos and camp cooking I alway show them the importance of safely and correctly getting it done. Starting from the most important step. That of properly cleaning the pans and utensils.

I am glad to hear you are finding benefit from some of the ideas I post. Feel free to ask for information on a topic you seek to understand in greater depth. BN is full of knowledgeable and helpful people. One of us may have the answer you seek.

The best advise I can give anyone who is new to gear/camping is to get out and practice. You will be amazed how much you learn by doing. Just keep a good sense of humor for all the “Oops” moments. :)
