Mom's Favorite Pinto Beans

Oh my gosh….these beans are so delicious! And they’re easy and quick in a pressure cooker!

Oh my gosh….these beans are so delicious! And they’re super easy and quick to make in a pressure cooker!

I love my stovetop pressure cooker for making camp cooking quick and easy. It’s perfect for boondocking too because it doesn’t need electricity. I can use it for anything I use the Instant Pot for at home like stew, pulled chicken, beans, rice, quick breads, etc. I can cook with it outside on the camp stove or on the stove in the Casita. The pressure cooker makes quick work of hearty, healthy camping meals and because it cooks quickly, it helps conserve fuel! Not only that, but I can use it for regular cooking too so it doubles as a soup pot! Woo hoo!

Of course, you could bring your Instant Pot if you were planning on having hookups, or if you planned to use a generator, or you had some beefy solar going on!

I hope you try these pinto beans on your next adventure! Let me know how you liked them!

Oh, and if there were any left over, you could use them for burritos the next day!

Lentil Stew

Simple, hearty, full of veggies…one of our favorites!

This versatile one pot meal is easy to change up - depending on what veggies you toss in and what seasonings you like! Sprinkle in taco seasoning for a Tex-Mex flavor, or maybe some curry powder, you could even throw in some cheese of choice! It’s up to you!

Creamy Tomato Pasta

This one pot meal comes together quick for a creamy treat! Add your choice of meat: cubed chicken, meat balls, Italian sausage, etc.

This one pot meal comes together quick for a creamy treat! Add your choice of meat: cubed chicken, meat balls, Italian sausage, etc. I like to prepare meats ahead of time so I’m not cooking them in the Casita. I just cook the meat at home, let cool then place in zipper bags and freeze flat. I plan meals around 1/2 lb of meat per recipe so I divide the cooked meat and package in small bags.

I hope you try out this simple meal! Let us know how it worked out in the comments below!
