TEXAS HASH

 

(Feeds 6 - 8 hungry cowboys)

I am frequently asked for camping recipes so this recipe from Home Chef Francis for Texas Hash came at a great time. Francis found my Reluctant Gourmet web site in her local newspaper, The Syracuse Post Standard. She said in her email,

" I travel a bit and collect local cookbooks with some very unusual recipes. Could I send along samples at random?"

How could I say no? So here is her recipe for Texas Hash from the Trail Bosses Cowboy Cookbook. This looks like a great meal for camping. Thanks Francis. RG
