Sloppy Joes for the Trail
Camp Cooking Recipe: Sloppy Joes
This might come as a shocker, but sloppy joes don't have to come from a can. In fact, they're so much better when they're made from scratch, and it's really not that hard to whip them up in your camp kitchen.
These sloppy joes are quick and easy to make, which means you won't have to wait too long to satisfy your hunger at the end of a day on the trail. And, because this is a one-pot meal, once you're done eating, clean up is a breeze and you can get to relaxing around the campfire that much sooner.
