Meatballs by the campfire

We go camping alot and love to cook on the open fire! These are tasty and pretty simple. A nice change from burgers and dogs!

1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/4 c bread crumbs (i use progresso)
about a t garlic powder
about 1/4 t pepper
1/4 c water
2 zucchinis cut lengthwise and then sliced across into 1/2 in pieces
2 cups spaghetti sauce (you can use jarred like rago or prego etc)
mozzerella cheese shredded
parmesan cheese, grated
garlic bread, garlic sticks or rolls
onion, sliced thin
green peppers, sliced thin

Mix beef, bread crumbs, egg, water and seasonings together. Shape into about 16 meatballs.

Place equal amounts of meatballs, zucchini, onions, and peppers in center of 4 tinfoil sheets. Pour about a half cup of sauce over each.

Fold short edges of foil over loosely to allow heat to circulate. Now fold other two edges in and seal shut.

Put meatball packets on a grill over hot ash covered coals. Allow to cook about 20 to 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink in centers and veggies are tender. Be sure to turn the packets once.

When finished unwrap packets, sprinkle with grated cheeses and either serve in the foil "bowls with bread or breadsticks to dip in sauce, or spoon out onto rolls and serve as a sandwich.

Pepper Jack Steak and Cheese Subs

These subs are easy to make and so incredibly tasty! If I do say so myself lol

Pepper Jack Steak and Cheese Subs


sub rolls (i used cuban)
chipotle ranch dressing
your favorite steak cooked (i actually used shaved roast beef)
pepperjack cheese
provolone cheese
bacon cooked crisp (about three or four slices per sub)
green peppers (sliced thin)
onion (sliced thin)
salt, pepper, garlic powder

Put peppers and onions in pan with hot oil. Season well with salt pepper and garlic powder. Cook till crisply tender. Drain and set aside.

Slice sub rolls leaving them connected just a bit. Put on a baking sheet. Put a good amount of chipotle ranch dressing on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a healthy layer of steak or beef. Split a slice of pepper jack cheese and top off the meat with this. Add another layer of meat. Add 3 or 4 slices of crisp bacon to each sub. Spoon peppers and onions on top of this. Now split a slice of provolone in half and top the sub off with it.

Put baking tray with subs into a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake until heated thru, cheese is melted and bun is slightly toasted.
