Cooking Pie!
MMmmmm Shepherd’s Pie and beer!
We just finished our second beach camping trip and are continuing the grand food experiment! On Friday night Karlo Meria treated us to a mash up of pot stickers/dumplings. We gobbled them up quickly, but we all agreed they need a little tweaking before the next attempt. Of course our new staples Spam Musubi and Beach Pizza were must haves. This time we used beefsteak tomatoes and added some onion on the pizzas, while the Musubi got a little extra rice wine vinegar.
The other dish that was a resounding success was, Shepherd’s Pie!!! As with most food we bring camping this was made before and frozen. This is a great trick because you use the frozen food as ice to keep the rest cold. Then by the time you use it, it’s thawed out. The recipe I used was literally off the top of my head and a little of what can we add. The only thing missing was frozen peas and if Jason has anything to say we wont forget them again.
Our next camping trip will be 4th of July weekend. I wonder what we will come up with for this one!!!
Love the “print the recipe”. Looks delish and good tips on food as ice. 😀
