With so many recipes, it's hard to pick which ones to try. There's no substitute for a personally-recommended, tried-and-true camp oven recipe. Would folks be willing to share ONE of these with the forum? What is your guaranteed-to-please camp oven recipe?

Baked Corn Beef and Damper! Never fails :) Beef N Guiness stew is also another favourite. Lamb Shanks in Madras curry (yum) :) And just a baked chook and vege with Rosemary. For an easy to make healthy and very tasty stew use Neck chops and veges and water with a dash of tomato paste, dash of Worstershire sauce and some salt and pepper. So tasty! :)

Any roast meats go over well, Lamb Beef Pork or Ham.
Cooked long and slow.

tried-and-true camp oven recipe.

A lot of the recipes here are tried and true. Its a matter of looking through the recipe sections to find them.
One that springs to mind which many people have used with great success is Derek's Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding.

Not sure I have a favourite particularly when you can cook anything in a camp oven. 

One loaf that has always been a favourite with others of mine is a date and ginger loaf.

If you like ginger this is an easy one.  It is very fruit rich but you can add or subtract as much dates and giner as you like.

Recipe copied from another post.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups Self Raising Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons castor sugar
100 grams chopped dates
100 grams chopped glazed ginger
300 ml ginger beer

METHOD
Mix dry ingredients and fruit well. Pour ginger beer into a bowl and mix in the dry ingredients one large spoon full at a time until all is well mixed.  Place into a well greased loaf pan and bake in a medium/hot oven for 35 minutes.  I used a 12" Lodge oven with 6 Heat Beads® under and 18 Heat Beads® on top in a ring.

Count the number of Heat Beads® and note the ring around the lid

Yep, that one has had the recipe amounts doubled, I remember halved the recipe for her and Sparky.  I have family who regularly ask for it and it has been cooked at a few cogs as well.

Recipe copied from another post.

INGREDIENTS
2 cup self-raising flour
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup brown sugar
160g butter, melted, cooled
2/3 cup milk
4 tabs Kahlua
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Thick cream and berries, to serve

SAUCE
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
2 1/2 cups boiling water

METHOD
Grease a 10 inch camp oven with butter.  Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Combine butter, milk, Kahlua and egg in a bowl and slowly add to flour mixture, mixing until well combined and smooth. Spoon mixture into your camp oven and smooth the top.

SAUCE - sprinkle the combined sugar and cocoa over pudding then slowly pour boiling water over the back of a large metal spoon to cover the pudding.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180 degrees or until pudding bounces back when pressed gently in centre. Serve hot with cream and berries.

Roast chicken and roast potatoes in seperate campovens has always been a winner at my place for family meals.

Seasoned with my favourite vegeta stock powder gives a flavour that everyone loves.

I definitely have to try the self saucing pudding one day Derek. 
Rufzguts, do you just sprinkle dry stock powder over your potatoes  and chicken?
One of our favorites is any roast meat served with a garlic potato bake.

The recipe makes quite a lot of pudding.  We had a visitor over Easter and decided to cook a pudding.  I halved the recipe and cooked in the oven at home and it turned out perfect.

I have used the 'Rum & Raisin Damper' recipe from this site quite a few times at our grey nomad outings and have not had a complaint or any left over. :P

Derek just tried you date and ginger loaf,but it didn't rise here's a pic any idea where I went wrong mate

You'll have to put the icing on like a spakfilla.
That's weird how it turned out.
Try it again Lewis.. I'm out of ideas.

Thanks Aart,I lined the tray with butter,I also didn't spread the mixture the full width of tray,thought I'd just let you know,I'm only a novice at the camp oven cooking but Im loving it,I have a themometer ordered from eBay mite give me some idea how hot things are inside the oven,I reckon after a few cooks I'll have a better idea of how many coals it takes to do things

Looks like not enough heat to me but the guru will know where you went wrong did you use the heat bead chart up the top of the forum ? As for icing Lewis a basic icing mix is
Icing sugar
Bit of butter
Add warm water bit at a time until you get a toothpaste consistency and if yo want flavour just add essence

If your after icing Rufz  has a great licorice  one  ;D ;D
I'm sure he will give it to you
