Outdoor Cooking

Outdoor cooking. Is there anything that taste better?

I remember growing up and my dad taking us on weekend fishing trips. Sleeping in his blue Ford van with bunks on either side. The smell of coffee brewing and bacon frying on his Coleman Stove.

At 4:00 am, getting food in our system before heading out on the lake, the smell and taste of breakfast still lingering. This is something that sticks with you for the rest of your life. It makes you appreciate how fun and good cooking outdoors can be. Back then, it was simple:
Bacon, scrambled eggs and coffee.

Now that i’m a dad and take my son to the deer lease every chance I get, Cooking is a big part of the weekend get aways. Still the same breakfast I grew up on with added toast or biscuits. For supper, we usually have tatters and brats. This dish is easy and delicious. Below are the ingredients and steps to prepare to feed three people. Our heat source is our fire pit with a grill covering the pit.

ingredients:
4) New Potatoes
2) jalapeno
1) Lg Onion
2) Bell Peppers (red and yellow)
Salt and Pepper
1) Aluminum pan and foil
1) package of Bratwurst

Prepare:
Slice up all the veggies (big or small your choice, although the smaller the better). Place all the veggies in the aluminum pan. We pour one can of beer in our dish but water will work just fine. Add salt and pepper. Place the bratwurst on top of the mixture. Cover with foil and place on the grill. About every 10 minutes you’ll want to turn the dish 90 degrees. Do this until your dish makes one revolution. You want to do this due to hot and cold spots in your heat source. By turning dish, you will get equal amount of heat. After this is done, place the bratwurst on the open grill and brown. Grab your plate and enjoy.

I hope you enjoy this dish. It’s one of my favorites. Please feel free to comment or add your favorite recipe.
