Ingredients
- 1 or more cans of stew
- 1 cup rice
- butter
- 2 cups water
- Camp fire !
Instructions
This is sooo good !
First, wash your rice in water for 1 min. till water runs clear.
Put your rice in a camp pot with 1.5 cups of water and a table spoon of butter * must have a lid !
Dig a hole beside your fire pit, a shallow one. Put a shovel of hot coals in the hole, place pot on top of coals and cover the pot a sheet of alumimum foil and more hot coals. Leave for 30 min. Check the pot, stir and cover again for another 10 to 20 min as needed.
When you check your rice, take your 1 – 2 cans of stew, peel the labels off, poke 2 holes in the can and put beside or in the fire. This should only take about 10 to 20 min to cook at that heat.
