Family

We had a great evening around the campfire at  Island Acres State Park. We had tacos, and played poker. I kicked butt and cleaned out Steve and Biba of their nickels and dimes. Steve asked me to make Calico Rice, a family camping favorite. 

Calico Rice

Create an aluminum foil bowl. I always layer my heavy duty foil in a cast iron skillet that can go on the campfire. 

1 can of Veg-All mixed vegetables

1 small box of minute rice 

1 pkg ( 2-3 cups) of shredded cheddar cheese

1 small onion, chopped

2-4 tsp butter

Salt and pepper to taste

In aluminum bowl, dump the undrained veg-all, using can as measuring cup, add 2 cans of rice, 2 cans of water, then add in onions, cheese, salt and pepper, mix and add butter in dollops to top. Cover with foil, set on BBQ or campfire and heat until water is absorbed and cheese is melted. 

Enjoy!
