That's Sweet: Boy Scout Peach Cobbler
Rob taught Caleb how to make peach cobbler the way he did in Boy Scout camp. I think this is more of a dump cake, but "a rose is a rose" as they say and it is quite yummy.
Boy Scout Peach Cobbler1 Jiffy Yellow Cake Mix
1 Can Sliced Peaches in Heavy Syrup
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
White Sugar
Line a loaf pan with foil and dump in the cake mix. Pour the peaches over and stir to combine. Top with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a little white sugar - all to taste. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes checking for doneness along the way.
Rob said they cooked this in a dutch oven over coals at camp.

Just Like Grandma's: Swedish Meatballs with Sour Cream Sauce
The sauce is a pretty creamy lavender and it is yum yum good!
Swedish Meatballs in Sour Cream Sauce
1lb ground pork
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 1/2 T. chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
2 T. butter (divided)
1 cup beef broth
1/2 lb sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 c. red wine
8 oz sour cream
Mix pork, bread crumbs, onion, salt, nutmeg and half of butter - form into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place in a baking pan and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (until browned). Add broth to pan, cover tightly with foil and bake 30 more minutes. Remove meatballs and keep warm. Skim fat off of liquid and move to saucepan. Boil to reduce by half. In a large skillet, saute mushrooms in remaining butter; add wine, meatballs and liquid. Simmer 5 minutes, then stir in the sour cream and heat through without boiling. Serve over rice or noodles.

My mom gave me two cookbooks while I was at home - Best of Country Slow Cooker Recipes and Just Like Grandma Used to Make. The Slow Cooker one appealed to me at first because our playgroup time has been moved to late afternoons to accomdate those who are now in preschool and I needed some crockpot inspirations! But since we've been home, I've made four recipes from the Grandma cookbook and all of them have been real winners! Especially Swedish Meatballs in Sour Cream Sauce, which Rob requested we have again soon.
