A week of meals

We are getting ready to go on a week long camping trip to our local church campground for Family Camp.  We will be using electricity all weekend - electric skillet, electric griddle, crockpot, etc...

I wanted to share with you my meal plan along with some recipes.  I can't guarantee that we will stick entirely to this plan.  It allows for changes due to activities that are going on at the camp and meals that we may decide to just purchase at the campground.   But it will give you an idea how we do our meals for this type of setting.  These meals are much different than what we plan if we are at a state park on our own without a set schedule to keep (like church services and family activities we have during Family Camp.)

Monday
Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs
Smokey links
Toast
Lunch
Hot dogs
Baked Beans
Raw veggies
Supper
Pizza in a crockpot
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef (or substitute 1/2 lb. for Italian Sausage) (I prebrowned)
1 med. green pepper, chopped
1 med. onion, chopped
1 - 15oz can tomato sauce
1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
3 cups spiral pasta, cooked and drained (I precooked)
2 pkg. (3 1/2 oz each) sliced pepperoni
2 cups (8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Brown the beef, gr. pepper, and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.  Stir in the tomato sauce, pizza sauce and tomato paste.  In a 5qt. slow cooker, layer the pasta, beef mixture, pepperoni and cheese.  Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until heated through.

* I make my own sauces with veggies already included, so instead of taking all those sauces, I'm just taking a jar of my own sauce.  I also have to cut this recipe in half because I don't have a 5 qt. slow cooker in the camper and we don't have room for lots of leftovers anyway.

Tuesday
Breakfast
Pancakes
Fruit (oranges, apples, grapes)
Lunch
Chicken/tuna salad
Hot veggies (corn or green beans are easy)
Supper
Crockpot smoked sausage, green beans, onion and potatoes
I do the potatoes and onion in some water first for a few hours, then add the canned green beans and smoked sausage about an hour before serving.

Wednesday
Breakfast
Muffins
Cereal
Fruit
Lunch
Bean and rice tortillas
*I premake the bean and rice mixture and warm it up at the campground
1 cup brown rice (cooked)
2 cans of black beans
1 cup of corn
1 can of diced tomatoes (with green chiles if you like)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
Put in tortillas and add cheese before rolling up.
Supper
Hamburgers on the grill
Chips
Raw veggies
Corn on the cob

Thursday
Breakfast
Scrambled eggs
Bacon
Toast
Lunch
BBQ chicken sandwiches
* This is from a meal I made last week and I froze the leftover for sandwiches later
4 chicken breast
1 bottle bbq sauce
1/4 cups brown sugar
1 Tbsp. Worchestershire sauce
Put all in a crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours, or until chicken falls apart
(We served it on rice the first time we had it.)
Supper
Beef Nacho Casserole
1 lb. ground beef (I pre-browned)
1 1/2 cups chunky salsa
1 (10 oz) can corn, drained (I use what we freeze from the garden)
3/4 cup Miracle Whip (or sour cream - we will use mayo since that's what we'll already have in the camper for chicken salad sandwiches)
1 tsp. chili powder
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
2 cups Colby cheese
Place ground beef in a skillet until browned; drain.  Stir in salsa, corn, mayo and chili powder.
The recipe calls for you to layer this with chips and cheese and bake in an oven.  Since we don't have an oven, I will put cheese on top in the electric skillet.  Then we will serve this mixture over crushed tortilla chips.

Friday
Breakfast
Pancakes
smokey links
fruit
Lunch
Leftovers or lunch meat sandwiches
Supper
Beef stew in the crockpot
Cubed beef
potatoes
carrots (I pre-chopped)
onion
spices (to taste)
Cook on high for 4 hours.  Mix 1 cup water with 1 Tbsp. flour in a small saucepan until thickened.  Add to the crockpot and let cook for 1 hour more.

Other than the ingredients we need for the meals, we always take:
peanut butter
honey
bread
lots of fresh and canned fruit
almonds
cheese chunks and slices
pretzels
granola bars
cookies
plenty to drink (water bottles and pop cans - which we don't normally buy, so it's a special treat for the kids)
drink mixes (and we have a 1 qt. drink container in the camper to mix lemonade or tea)
popcorn (and an air popper)
condiments

I keep the meat, eggs, milk and cheese products in the refrigerator.  Then meal type stuff until it's full.  We keep a cooler outside the camper with fruit and drinks - things that don't have to stay super cold and it's okay if the container gets wet as the ice melts.
