If you “camp” like I do, foraging for food is basically…not gonna happen. But I’ll forage my local supermarket for sales, like all these cans I got for the cheap cheap so I could whip up this super easy succotash. At 10 cans for $10 dollars, what could be better?!
This succotash can be cooked on the stove, or if you’re feeling outdoorsy, in packets on an open fire. You just need to stir together every can (yes this recipe makes a LOT of succotash), then portion out into foil packets.
I double wrapped my packets with foil and stuck them directly into the hot coals of our backyard fire pit. I let the succotash cook for about fifteen to twenty minutes, and checked the packets periodically. For best results, rotating the packets every few minutes. The succotash should be just starting to caramelize, but not burning! Serve alongside some other tried and true campfire recipes!
