E.H.S. Class of '75 35th Reunion Picnic Sequoia Park Eureka, CA

Joanie & I attended our 35th class reunion where we met up with old classmates and had a wonderful evening together, catching up on what's been going on and remembering those we lost.
The following day a small group of us got together with our families at Eureka's Sequoia Park for a picnic.
9:30 a.m.... Joanie informs me that we should share outdoor cast iron cooking with our classmates.
Without my morning coffee yet, I agree and tell her that we could do pizzas in a dutch oven. We already had all the ingrediants and kids just love pizza.
She didn't want to do pizzas and instead, wanted to do something we hadn't done a video of yet.
She asked me to find a recipe and informed me that she'd pick up all the ingrediants, all I had to do was round up the equipment and the kids, then we'd simply meet up at the park and start cooking.
10:00 a.m... After some coffee, I found a recipe that a friend in Idaho had posted on camp-cook.com.

Here's the recipe...

Mike B's Killer Dutch Oven Beef Stroganoff

1lb. package of noodles
1 lb. stew meat or steak, cut into short, thin strips
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 10 oz. cans cream of mushroom soup
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms or two 4 oz. cans of drained mushrooms
1 cup red cooking wine
flour
oil
pint sour cream
1 cup beef broth

Lightly flour the meat and then brown it in a bit of oil in your dutch oven. Add the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms and wine to the browned meat and mix the result thoroughly. Cook at 350 degrees for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If sauce seems too thick, stir in the beef broth.

Remove from the coals and mix in the sour cream. Serve stroganoff over noodles or rice. I usually stir a 1 pound package of cooked noodles into the pot just after mixing in the sour cream.

For a 350 degree 12" oven use 10 coals on the bottom and 14 on top. For a 14" oven, use 12 coals on the bottom and 16 on top.

All in all, we had fun and doing something like this at the drop of the hat, hopefully showed our classmates how easy cooking outdoors with cast iron is.
