Chicken & Dumplings Cookout
2 envelopes Lipton’s Cream of Chicken Cup-o-soup
1 can Swanson’s Chunk Chicken Meat
1/2 package of mixed freeze-dried vegetables
1 cup Bisquick in a zip-lock bag
Water
Mix the soup, chicken meat and vegetables in a relatively deep pot with 2 to 3 cups water. Place on camp stove. Heat to simmering, stirring occasionally. While soup stuff is heating, add water (see Bisquick box instructions for qty.) to Bisquick and knead in the zip-lock bag. When soup stuff is hot, tear off a corner of the bag and squeeze out plops of Bisquick into the pot. Cover and cook for about 10 mintues on low heat.

SPAM Lasagna Recipe
2 cans SPAM
3/4 lb. ground beef
2 cloves garlic (or to taste)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup red wine (whatever kind is your fave.)
2 16 oz. cans crushed peeled tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste (6 oz.)
package of lasagna noodles
2 eggs
2 cups Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp parsley (fresh is best)
black pepper
1 & 1/2 lbs. Mozzarella cheese, grated
Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain off all the fat. Add the garlic, salt & wine. Simmer a few minutes. Then stir in the crushed peeled tomatoes and tomato paste. Put on low heat & cook, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
Cook the lasagna. (look on box for specifics).
Combine eggs, Ricotta, Parmesan, parsley and pepper (dash or two) and blend ‘em up good. Key to this is smooth.
Slice SPAM real thin, I like to use a cheese slicer.
In a greased glass baking pan (approx. 12 x 8 x 2 inches or thereabouts), arrange a layer of lasagna. Spread a layer of the Ricotta mix on top of the lasagna. Make a layer of SPAM slices on top of the Ricotta mix. Top SPAM with a layer of meat sauce & sprinkle with a couple handfuls of the Mozzarella. Repeat this layering until you run out of stuff.
Bake this pie in a 350 degree oven for about a half an hour, until bubbly & a nice brown crust has formed on top. Let it stand a few minutes after taking it out of the oven, it will be hot. Should make enough for about 6 hungry SPAM lovers!
