Each recipe makes enough for about 1.5 to 2 pounds of meat or seafood.1. The Classic Steakhouse (Best for Beef & Mushrooms)This gives you that rich, savory, umami-packed crust that makes grilled beef taste amazing.The Mix:1/3 cup soy sauce1/3 cup olive oil2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce1 tbsp Dijon mustard3 cloves garlic, minced1 tsp coarsely cracked black pepperBest cuts: Sirloin tip, New York strip, or flank steak cut into 1.5-inch cubes.Marinating time: 2 to 6 hours.2. Garlic, Lemon & Herb Souvlaki (Best for Chicken & Pork)Bright, fresh, and deeply aromatic. The lemon juice helps tenderize the poultry, while the oregano gives it that classic Mediterranean street-food vibe.The Mix:1/4 cup olive oilJuice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tbsp)4 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated1 tbsp dried oregano (warm it between your palms as you add it to release the oils)1 tsp kosher salt1/2 tsp black pepperBest cuts: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (they stay incredibly juicy on the grill) or pork loin cubes.Marinating time: 1 to 4 hours. Don't go past 4 hours, or the lemon juice will start to break down the meat's texture.3. Sweet & Tangy Honey Mustard (Best for Salmon, Shrimp, or Pork)If you want something with a little bit of sweetness that caramelizes beautifully over open flames, this is a crowd-pleaser.The Mix:1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or half Dijon, half whole-grain for texture)3 tbsp honey2 tbsp olive oil1 tbsp apple cider vinegar1/2 tsp garlic powderA pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a tiny kick)Salt and pepper to tasteBest cuts: Thick-cut salmon cubes, extra-large shrimp, or even pork tenderloin.Marinating time: 30 minutes for seafood; 1 to 2 hours for pork.Simple Turkey Stir-fryhttps://therecipewell.com/ground-turkey-stir-fry/Shrimp Scampi with Asparagus on Udon Noodleshttps://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/shrimp-scampi-074951Coconut Crunch CakeYou don’t need a formal recipe!

Wrap the dough around the hotdog in a spiral4. Place the hot dog on the roasting stick all the way5. Roast slowly over the hot coals for 8-10 min, rotating until golden6. Let cool slightly before removing from the roasting stick and enjoy!This is a big hit for campers of all ages!Naan Pizza’sThese naan pizzas can be made either on an open campfire, on a camping grill, or in the air fryer.Ingredients:NaanBBQ sauce or Pizza saucePizza toppings: ham, pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, PINEAPPLE)Shredded mozzarella cheese or mozzarella mini ballsInstructions:1.

Chop the red potatoes, sausage, and onion then put into an deep aluminum baking pan2. Cut the fresh corn in ½ or use frozen corn cobs and add to the baking pan3. Sprinkle generously with Old Bay Seasoning4. Quarter the lemons and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Place the lemons into mixture after.5. Chop the ½ stick of butter into pats and place along on top of mixture6. Add beer or water to steam and keep from burning7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil8. Bake over the coals for at least 30 min.9. In a separate bowl mix shrimp and more Old Bay Seasoning10. After 30 min, open foil (be careful it will be HOT) and poke potatoes, are they almost done? If so, add raw seasoned shrimp.11. Add foil back tightly and cook for another 10 min.12. Check by poking all the ingredients to see that they are cooked through and serve.For added extra fun, bring along disposable plastic tablecloths (think dollar store), lay the tablecloth out and pour the whole shrimp boil out on the table for everyone to enjoy! Clean up is easy once everyone is done – just roll up the disposable tablecloth and toss!Other ideas:Cheeseburger Bites on a StickSimilar to the hot dogs on a stick, take ground turkey and make mini hamburger balls and put a couple on the roasting stick. Cook over the fire 10 min, turning to ensure all sides are cooked thoroughly. Serve with all the burger fixins: lettuce, tomato, ketchup, cheese.Also check out an earlier episode for our potato salad recipe, at the 29:45 mark.https://everyday-cooks-recipe.captivate.fm/episode/5-quick-summer-recipesGrilled Chicken DrumsticksInstead of using BBQ sauce, try marinating your chicken with soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce for a different taste. If you don’t like drumsticks, this can also be made with chicken breasts or tenders. Served with roasted veggies on the side.Jalapeno PoppersCostco sells a tup Jalapeno Artichoke dip and mini sweet peppers. Cut the tops off the mini peppers, stuff with the dip, and grill over the coals for 10 min – this doesn’t take long at all. Then let them cool and enjoy!Grilled Sausage and PeppersI like to get the chicken apple sausage and grill these with sliced yellow and red peppers, and onions in a cast iron over the fire. This doesn’t take too long, maybe 15-20 min. When the mix is almost done, toast your buns over the fire, watch them so they don’t burn! Then serve the sausage and peppers and onion in the toasted bun. Also bring that jar of pepperoncini or banana peppers!Baked PotatoesWrap your pre-washed and oiled potatoes in aluminum foil. You can prep this ahead of time andbring the foiled potatoes in a Ziploc bag. Toss them on the grill or in the coals. Cook for about 60 minutes. Let cool and serve.Grilled Watermelon and PeachesWhat is camping without watermelon? Slice your watermelon into triangles; this works best if you can get an oblong watermelon and leave the rind on. That will come in handy later. Then place your watermelon, or even peach halves on a grill over the fire for a few minutes. Don’t forget to roast each side. Then serve w/ lime or lemon juice or Tajin. Oh, and that rind, that’s where you can hold the watermelon slice and no dishes!Tips and Tricks:Chop veggies and sides ahead of time.Marinade your meat ahead of time.Hard boil eggs ahead of time and peel them at home.Pre-cook rice and bring for a side dish.Don’t bring your whole seasoning jars, pack smaller amounts in containers.Pre-cook meals that you can head over the fire. Freeze them and put them in an ice chest.Foil packets are easy to make but can take a little longer to cook depending on the meat.Bring a cast iron skillet/grill and proper cooking utensils to cook over the fire. Don’t use plastic.Bring extra aluminum foil.Bring extra snacks.Extra disposable plastic tablecloths.CAMPING WITH ACCESS TO ELECTRICITYSlow-Cooker Meatballs: In a large slow cooker add 2-3 lbs. of frozen meatballs (turkey, beef, Italian) and over with a can of whole cranberry sauce and a jar of bbq sauce. Cook high 3 hours or low 6 hours. This gives you the softest and flavorful meatballs. Serve with pasta, rice, or on rolls.Slow-Cooker Wings: In a large slow cooker add a bag of frozen pre-cooked buffalo wings. Either get the pre-seasoned wings, or add your own buffalo sauce, teriyaki sauce, or keep them plain. Cook high 3 hours or low 6 hours. This is easy and fun to have when there is a big group camping and it’s a potluck. Serve with potato salad.Pre-made Taco Meat: This is an all time favorite for me. Make your taco meat at home and warm up in a microwave. Bring all the fixin’s and sit back and enjoy the great outdoors.BBQ Chicken Sandwiches: This is easy to put some chicken in your crockpot, add a bottle of BBQ sauce, and cook on low for 6 hours. Go out and enjoy the camper life either fishing, hiking, off-roading and come back to your campsite and turn off the slow cooker. Shred your chicken and serve on soft warm buns and a bag of chips and a veggie tray!Skillet Spinach – Artichoke Dip with Fire-roasted Sourdough Bread: Buy a tub of spinach artichoke dip or jalapeno artichoke dip at the store and bring a really good cast iron skillet. Either warm the dip up in the microwave and air fry the sour dough slices or toss it all outside on the fire or camp stove. Make sure to get the grill marks on the slices. Either way, this is an easy snack or dinner option and serve with a glass of wine!Airfryer Ideas:Tater Tots, hot dogs and brats (score them first), grilled cheese sandwichesBang Bang Shrimp handheld sandwich (air fry frozen breaded shrimp, then coat with bang bang shrimp sauce. Put lettuce or a bag of salad mix in the tortilla and fill it with shrimp.)Bang Bang sauce recipe: ½ cup mayo or miracle whip, 2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce, 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar.

    Back To The Crock Pot

    In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie and Kelly go back to the crock pot to test another recipe.  This time they are making dinner.  In this episode, we talk about:10 Crock Pot tips for the best experienceWe review the Beef and Bean Chili recipe below Stephanie gives us a bonus idea of cooking a whole chicken in the crock potHow each of us prepared the meal (and where we improvised!)Our honest thoughts on flavor, texture, and whether it’s worth making againResources & Linkshttps://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_cooker_beef_and_bean_chili/Here are crock pot tips for beginners:Don’t Overfill It - Aim to fill the crock pot ½ to ⅔ full. Overfilling can cause uneven cooking, and under-filling can make food cook too fast.Layer Ingredients Wisely - Heavier, tougher ingredients (like root vegetables and meats) should go on the bottom, closest to the heat source. Lighter ingredients go on top.Brown Meat for Better Flavor (Optional) - While you can throw raw meat straight in, searing it first adds richer flavor and better texture. Keep the Lid Closed - Every time you open the lid, you lose heat and add 15–30 minutes to the cooking time. Peek only when necessary.Use the Right Amount of Liquid - Crock pots don’t let moisture escape. Use less liquid than you would on the stove—usually 1 cup or less unless you’re making soup.Choose “Low and Slow” When Possible - Most dishes turn out more tender and flavorful when cooked on Low for 6–8 hours vs. High for 3–4 hours.Add Dairy and Fresh Herbs at the End - Milk, cream, cheese, and fresh herbs can curdle or lose flavor if cooked too long. Stir them in during the last 15–30 minutes.Use Cheaper Cuts of Meat - The slow cooker excels with budget-friendly cuts like chuck roast, pork shoulder, chicken thighs. They become super tender with long cooking.Prep Ahead to Save Time - Chop veggies, measure spices, or assemble entire freezer-to-crock-pot bags the night before for easy morning cooking.Clean Up Easily - Use crock pot liners or fill the pot with warm soapy water right after dinner to avoid stuck-on food.If there are recipes you want us to try or questions you want to ask, email us at [email protected] the ShowIf you loved this episode, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves to cook.
