Cooking with Cast Iron When Camping
One of the meals we made on our trip was One Pan Taco Chili. This meal was super easy and quick to make, and it fed the entire crew – some helped themselves to seconds! The best part about it was the one pan, no-fuss clean up.
Below, we've shared the recipe and a foolproof method for cleaning your cast iron pans, as well as links to our favorite brands

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground beef
2 packets taco seasoning
2 cans black beans or kidney beans (or a combination of both)
2 small cans tomato sauce
Hot sauce, to taste
2-3 small packets of sugar or Splenda (helps cut acidity of the tomato sauce)
Garlic seasoning, to taste
Tortilla chips
Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
Salsa, optional
Sour cream, optional
Directions:
Brown the ground beef on medium heat until cooked.
Drain the meat and add taco seasoning. Add small amounts of water, if needed.

For an even bigger kick top with shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream before serving.
