On a nightly basis I search or create new recipes because I love to cook. The same goes for when I go camping. I want to try new stuff but prefer to not spend hours making it. After all, I am camping to relax. I do love making different hot dog combinations, but can wear myself out on hot dogs pretty quick when camping. That is when you switch to sausage, and these stuffed sausage and potato boats will not disappoint.
The stuffed sausage and potato boats are so easy to make. Especially when you are using the already prepared mashed potatoes. You certainly can make your own mashed potatoes but for camping it is nice to just be able to keep it simple.
These boats can be as simple or complex as you would like. Spice it up with bacon, chives or herbs or make it more healthy with turkey sausage and low fat cheese. There are quite a few versions of this recipe, we found it on Everyday Dutch Oven, but overall I don’t think you can go wrong, it’s definitely a keeper.
