Pieiron Chili-Stuffed Cornbread - a camping recipe that's a little tricky but totally worth it 

YES!! AGREED

Cheese is always a good idea! 🧀🧀🧀

Oh man 🤤

Welcome!!

LOL same! Potatoes, batter, eggs -- all best left untouched for a while, and it's SO hard.

lol even when I forgot to schedule it for midnight - superstar! 👏👏👏

The short one is a stove top sandwich maker and a common generic name for the long-handled is a pieiron. They can be had for not much cash at Walmart and such.

Also….I think some corn chips mixed into the batter would be good too

I bet they probably have the same thing cheaper on Temu, but the grill was an Amazon purchase -> amzn.to/493421w The cowboy candy, I made a while back, when a neighbor gave me like 5lbs of excess jalapeños. 😅 IIRC, I just sliced them up, covered them with sugar, and added a little water, until they were simmering in a thick syrup. Dump em in a jar, and donezo! You can water bath can them, or as I did, pop the jar into the fridge. Because the sugar content is so high, they last a good long time. Since I travel so infrequently, I have to get the most out of my trips. Also, discoverability. Some folks come for the long, relaxing camping content. Some come by for a quick recipe idea. The channel OGs come for both! 🥰

I could see that! I nearly brought some frozen corn too, but I actually exercised *some* restraint for once.

OGs?

Literally “original gangsters “ but loosely, the ones who have been around for a while and are pretty involved. 😊

Yeah that's what I was thinking. The key for the either, is to give the cornbread plentyyyyy of time to crisp up on the outside, and release from the metal.

I glanced at the pricing guide, but didn’t really take it in. My strategy was, only buy what you can carry 😂 It worked out, since I only spent $11.

With that trip, I finally used up the last of my tiny firewood hoard. Next time, charcoal it is!

Sounds good! You won't need much charcoal, it burns pretty hot. ​@@ShoestringMartha

I think it’s worthwhile, as long as you don’t overfill and are patient. I think the frozen chili might have slowed down the batter baking and there was just too much of it. Maybe if I froze about half the amount, in a much thinner layer. 🤔

That would be next level! 🧀🧀🧀

Good luck! Be sure to check out the pointers I posted in the description 😁
