Japanese-Style Meatloaf
I adapted this from a korokke recipe I frequently use. Korokke is a Japanese fried croquette made with seasoned ground meat and mashed potato. I combined the seasoning used there with a standard meatloaf recipe to create this fun hybrid. I serve it with mashed potatoes and a spicy barbeque sauce.

Dutch Oven Mountain Man Breakfast
Our kids request this mountain man breakfast every time we go camping. This recipe makes 12 servings, so you may want to consider sharing it with the folks at the next campsite. Or, save the leftovers for the day you're checking out so you can spend more time packing and less time cooking. It's easy to reheat in a skillet over low heat or at home in the microwave. Feel free to add more spices and personalize this recipe to suit your taste buds.
