What you need:  (makes approx. 4 - 6 sandwiches)

Simple ingredients make a great camping meal.

What you need:
 (Makes approx. 8 sandwiches)


Here's what you need to create your NASCAR Infield Cole Slaw Deli Sandwich.

  • 1 Package (8) Onion Roll Buns (regular work too, but make sure you get large buns)
  • 2 Package of Sliced Cheese (whichever flavors you prefer)
  • 1 Pound of Deli Cole Slaw
  • 2 - 3 Packages of Deli Meats (again your preference)
  • 1 Bottle of Creamy French Dressing or Russian Dressing if you can find it at your local grocer.
  • 1 Package of Quart Size zip lock bags (smaller sandwich size just don't work)
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Napkins
Directions:
  • Lay out your onion rolls, spread the French Dressing on both top & bottom of the buns.
  • Add a couple tablespoons of Coleslaw to the tops of the buns.
  • Place a slice of Cheese to the bottom of each bun.
  • Add your meats on top of the cheese (we used 2 slices of Turkey, Ham, and Chicken)
  • Add another slice of Cheese to the meats.

Packaging:
  • Wrap your sandwiches individually with plastic wrap.  This holds them all together for you so they are not falling a part in the zip lock baggie making a mess.  this also helps keep any water from getting into them if you are using a cooler with melting ice to keep them in.
  • Place them in a QUART size zip lock.  You will find the sandwich size zip lock to small.  If someone doesn't like Cole Slaw or a certain ingredient, you may also custom make them without and label the zip lock baggie with a sharpie.
  • Add a couple napkins in the sandwiches baggies.
    Wrapping with Saran Cling wrap will keep them fresh, dry from
    any melting ice in your coolers.

They're now ready to eat.  Whenever someone in your camp needs a quick snack between meals they can grab a freaking delicious "NASCAR Infield Cole Slaw Deli Sandwich"

Zip Lock Baggie Omelets

If you have picky eaters at your campsite here is a quick, non-messy, very easy breakfast idea your guests can cook using a pot of boiling water on your campfire or grill that will have them creating their OWN omelets to suit THEIR taste. 


Prepare you ingredients and get ready for an awesome omelet.

Cooking Utensils -

1/4 size Zip Lock Freezer Bags
Pot (the larger the pot the more bags you an cook at the same time)
Tongs

Ingredients -

2 Eggs (or Substitute w/ Egg Beaters)
¼ Cup  - Shredded Cheese(s) of your choice.
¼ Cup  - Diced Meat(s) of your choice (Ham, Bacon, Sausage, etc).
¼ Cup -  Sliced veggies of your choice (Onion, peppers, mushrooms, etc.).
Seasoning or Sauce  - Salt/Pepper, Season Salt, Salsa

Meats, Cheeses and veggies can be prepped prior to heading out and placed in their own zip lock baggies and stored in your cooler or fridge until ready to use.

Directions - 
  1.  Place a Pot of water on the grill or campfire and bring to a boil.
  2. Using a permanent marker, write your name on your baggie
  3. Crack open two (2) Eggs into your baggie, seal and mix until blended.
  4. Using a combination of pre-sliced, chopped & diced ingredients (meats, cheese, veggies, spices), add them to your baggie.  Close and mix together.  Do not over fill.
  5. Holding upright, squeeze out the excess air out from your bag and ensure it is completely sealed.
  6. Place bag(s) upright in uncovered pot for 13 minutes (or until eggs are cooked) using the tongs to keep the baggies upright.
  7. When done place bag on heat safe dish and carefully open (or cut top of baggie) and your omelet will slide out onto your plate.
  8. Add any seasonings, sauces or condiments and enjoy.
Pre-Cooking: Mix all you desired Meats, Cheeses & Veggies

Post-Cooking: Contents will be HOT after cooking - Open Carefully.

CAUTION: Contents will be extremely hot, use tongs and be careful when opening the baggie to place on your plate.

I've seen comments that the maker of "Zip Lock" bags does not recommend you use their product in this way.  Of course they probably have to say this to take the liability off their company.  However, I have found posts from people that have been making omelets this way for over 10 years.

For those of you nay-sayers who want to say cooking with plastic this way is bad for you...Bah Humbug.  Before sharing this recipe I actually made this myself.  It works AND tastes GREAT! 

Season & Serve -  Eat Up!

Make sure your baggie doesn't touch the hot dry part of the pot or hang over the edge, because it is still plastic, and it WILL melt if exposed to extreme heat.
