Pioneer Woman S Campfire Beans Recipes

CAMPFIRE BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Split the bananas lengthwise, but don't cut all the way through. The goal is to create a boat to hold the ingredients. Load the bananas 1/4 cup each of the caramel bits, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Crumble 1 whole graham cracker onto each loaded banana. Wrap individually in 8-by-10-inch squares of foil, and then place near the campfire to melt the candies. Open up and eat with a spoon.

PIONEER WOMAN'S CAMPFIRE BEANS

Steps:

• Sort beans and pick out rocks. Rinse and put in large stock pot. Cover with water by 1 inch and add the ham hock. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 2 hours, checking often to see if more water is needed.
• After initial 2 hours cooking, add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook 1 hour more (adding more water if necessary).
• Remove lid after hour is up and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes till done. What you want is the consistency of a stew rather than a soup.
• Serve with cornbread or on nachos, tacos, etc.
