Green Chile Enchiladas for a Crowd

We know, you are probably thinking- another Tex Mex recipe????  Well, the answer is, yes.

So, we had 7 hungry adults and 3 kids with us this weekend so we needed something that would fill those empty stomachs.  We also needed something that could be made in our 14" D.O.  Originally, I had planned to use those pre-made burritos (which are very easy for a camping mom of a 20-month old and with the sauce are pretty good), but when Matt saw them in the freezer he wasn't having any part of that, even though I had emailed him the recipe.  I guess that tells me how much he pays attention when I suggest camping food.

Bean Burrito Casserole

Since we are now camping with a very busy 18-month old, our campground recipe choices need to be simpler.  We tried this recipe out last week and decided there aren't many campground casseroles out there that would be a whole lot easier.

Okay, this is our first attempt at completely creating a recipe.  If we did a recipe search, we'd probably burst our bubble of pride and find that we are not all that creative and somebody else already made this up.  But, since we haven't done that we will continue on in our recipe creation state of bliss!

Seems like the Dutch oven lends it self very well to Italian and Mexican type recipes.  Looking back at all the things we have made in the past, there seems to be an abundance of either type of food.  Oh well. 

Great Food in the Great Outdoors

For Labor Day, we went camping in a state park which happened to be near where some of Matt's extended family lives. We had such a fun time with people visiting us at the campground and heading into town to visit some more.

We made 3 different Dutch oven recipes over the weekend- Baked Spaghetti, Pastel Chileano, and Easy Chocolate Cake. All of them were good (which isn't always the case when you are trying new recipes).
