A Great Camping Meal

I found two recipes via Pinterest and tried them on our latest adventure.

The first one is a foil-pack recipe. I love using these on the campfire. Easy prep and easy clean-up.

Santa Fe Chicken Foil-Pak



Ingredients

1 can (15 oz each Black Beans, drained, rinsed
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn (I used canned corn)
1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 oz each)(I used chicken breast tenders because they were smaller and cooked a bit more quickly.)
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend


Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat according to manufacturer's directions. Stir together beans, corn, drained tomatoes and cumin in medium bowl.
Place four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy foil on counter. Spray each with cooking spray. Place 1 breast in center on each piece of foil. Spoon 1/4th bean mixture over chicken for each packet. Bring up short sides of each foil packet and double fold top. Double fold both ends to seal each packet, leaving space for steam to gather.
Place packets on grate of covered grill. Grill 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in centers (165°F). Carefully open packets; sprinkle 1/4th cheese on top of each breast. Close foil and let stand 2 minutes or until cheese melts.

I cooked Lipton's Mexican rice on the stove in the camper and served it with the chicken packs.
Awesome meal! Very little prep. The family loved it!

Joda Sauce

When I was a child, there was a restaurant here in town. It was named Joda's Restaurant and it was owned and run by a man named.....Joda. I'll bet you didn't expect that, did you? Well, they had a house dressing that was awesome. It was on every table, along with crackers. It sustained most of us kids during the long wait for our food. The wait wasn't really long, but as a child, it sure felt like it. The sauce and crackers were so good, that sometimes, we weren't really hungry for our dinner when it came! The restaurant is no longer there. Joda has since passed away, but his dressing lives on. My kids love it. I wanted to share with you all. Joda's Sauce 2 c mayonnaise 1 3/4 c french dressing 1 T Parmesan cheese 1/2 t garlic powder 1/4 t sugar 1/4 c white vinegar Combine ingredients well. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
