California Campgrounds

The best camping recipe is one that involves no cooking. How to do that? Make it at home, freeze it, toss it in the cooler to serve as ice pack on your way to the campground. At the camp site, wrap it in heavy-duty tin foil throw it on the fire, and unwrap for gourmet camping dining.

A perfect camping menu item for that strategy is meatloaf. The video below is from my friend Kathy Maister, who makes cooking videos for total kitchen klutz like me.
