Campfire Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is a Chuck family staple, and something I had never heard of before I met him. You guys, I was so ill-prepared for the deliciousness. Now I look forward to it, and whenever I see a roll of those pre-made biscuits in Mama Chuck’s fridge I get excited.

During our recent trip to Laconia bike week we camped out at a local camp ground and I was in charge of all the food for our group of about 9 people, which with one Coleman Camping Stove, and a fire pit that had no grate on it was quite the challenge. I learned quite a lot about preparing the food quickly, as well as catering to a number of different preferences, so I think next year I will be much more prepared. There might be a post in there somewhere about cooking for large groups while camping.

For this trip I decided to try out a camping version that I saw online. The premise is pretty much the same except you cook it over the campfire in a Dutch oven.

It came out great, though with a little smokier flavor than I was used to. I also found that in order to cook it evenly you really do need to place hot coals on top of the Dutch oven. Without even cooking you are likely to end up with a burnt bottom and a raw top. Yes, this comes from experience, so believe me!
