Camp Spaghetti Dinner
This camp spaghetti dinner is not so much a recipe as a suggestion for a camp meal. If you have a camp stove, this is easy as can be.
This is always a hit for an easy meal at camp. Webelos can make this pretty independently. Serve it with fruit, salad, and garlic bread.
I like to precook the sausage as directed in the recipe. That way I have fewer worries about cross contamination with the Webelos handling the food and cooking than I would with raw meat.
