I like that meatball casserole.
Simple but I bet it’s tasty.
Any chance of a recipe Brian.

Here is a steamed "Nut Roll" very easy to do with ingredients you should all have in your tucker box. Smiley

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Thanks Poddy. Is that in the recipe section.
Was that your recipe in the Furphy book?

Just had a fail on my Hotshots.
They were fully alight as the prep went longer than anticipated.
12 under and 16 on top
Only 3 were still giving heat. They were situated directly under the centre of the camp oven.
This has happened before, not under cover and on or about last light. I am sure there is a falling damp that causes it.
So now it in the house oven to finish off.

There was a bad batch of Hot Shots last year where they were crumbly and would just go out. I know of a number of people having had problems with them. If you took them back to Bunnings they replaced them. I even got my money back at Atherton and then got some at Cairns which were fine. A few nights ago we had another bag that went out so I am taking them back today. This is the first problems we have had since Rory put us onto them six or so years ago.

It is annoying as there really isn't much of an alternative as the Black & Gold brand burned away rather quickly and the Heat Bead brand ones we found next to useless. Sad

Some nice meals being posted up folks.

Here's the recipe for Nut Roll:
1 cup mixed dried fruit
2 tbs golden syrup
1 egg
1 cup of milk
1 small tsp bi carb soda
1 cup SR flour
Simmer fruit, milk, golden syrup and bi carb soda for a few minutes, allow to cool before adding egg and flour, mix then place into a well greased tin, you can use a baked bean or fruit tin with both ends open, fill to about 3/4 full and seal both ends with aluminium foil. Sit on a trivet in oven with water and steam for 3/4 hour. Very easy to do and a break from damper etc when you're bush camping. You can use 1/2 cup mixed fruit with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for a something a bit different.

It’s not the beads. I used them the afternoon before and they worked till they were only ash.

Thanks Poddy
Into the camping box with that recipe.
Now have to get a tin to suit. I’m sure there will be one at an op shop.
Seen them there before.
