Cream Can Dinner

- 120 minutes to make
- Serves 8
We had a huge family gathering at one of the state parks and my brother in-law fixed this for all of us. It was a delicious campfire meal! The recipe can easily be stretched to feed as many as you need.
Ingredients
- 12 ears of sweet corn, unhusked shopping list
- 1 pound of carrots shopping list
- 1 pound of onions, peeled and quartered shopping list
- 3 pounds of red potatoes, quartered shopping list
- 12 Polish sausages shopping list
- 2 to 3 bottles of beer shopping list
- seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper and your favorite blends. shopping list
How to make it
- Layer the ingredients in a cream can, pour the beer over the top.
- Put the lid on the cream can and cook over a camp fire.
- Cook for about 2 hours or until the vegetables are tender.
- If you have a large pressure cooker, it can be cooked 30 minutes.
- NOTES-The only difficult thing about this recipe is finding a cream can. They are becoming a relic of the past. They were used to collect milk or to gather the cream off of the top of the milk once it had settled over night. I found one at a farm sale for $20. I don't know if I over-paid for it or not. But if you consider it to be a cooking pan, it was a good deal.
