Help!!!What is a good side dish for kids on a camping trip?
I am going a Cub Scout campout this weekend and have to take tortilla chips and a side dish. The main dish is chicken fajitas. Cooking will be limited to campfire, maybe propane camp stove. 9 Kids and 9 adults.
I will be taking whatever I need to get the job done. Someone else is doing grilled vegetebles, corn, and desert.
Are you taking a full compliment of pots and pans or just a basic frying pan and dutch oven or something? Canned baked beans are a simple, nutritious side dish that can easily be heated up. If you're really adventurous, it's easy to make homemade baked beans and they taste even better than the canned version.
But, if you want something more in keeping with fajitas, you could do re-fried beans or Spanish rice. Corn on the cob is also easy to do over a fire, if it has a grill surface over it. Soak the whole ear of corn (unshucked) in a bucket of water for a half an hour and then roast over a low fire or preferably, hot coals and turn as the husk blackens. When the husk is uniformly black all the way around, the corn is ready to peel and eat!
Also, a simple green salad and some fresh fruit wouldn't take a few minutes to make up and dole out and don't require any cooking.
Good luck & have fun!
