Recipes!!

Here are the recipes from the Camp Leader retreat. Enjoy!!

Camp Fire Mac and cheese

• 1 (4 3/8-inch) disposable aluminum pie pan or small loaf pans
• 1/2 cup cooked elbow macaroni 
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar
• 1 tablespoon Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12- by 16-inch piece of foil

How to make it:

1. Combine all the ingredients in pans. Then seal it in foil (a double layer if you're cooking over an open flame) as shown, folding over the extra foil at the top to make a sturdy handle to poke a stick or tongs through.
2. Hold the packet over a campfire or set it directly on a grill to melt the cheese, about 7 minutes. Let the pack cool briefly, then open it carefully. Stir the mac and cheese before eating it.

* Variation for Alfredo Sauce

Use 2 tbsp of Cream Cheese and a ¼ parmesan cheese instead of Cheddar

• 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
