I do something similar to Chuck's recipe , but I add sweet onions like Vidalias , green pepper , chopped garlic , salt , and freshly ground black pepper . Keep the thickness of the potato slices even by using a slicer , I use red or gold taters . Another favorite for the wife and me is a roasted vidalia onion topped with chopped garlic and real butter wrapped in foil . If you really want to wow them make a beef or venison Wellington style , you can find the recipe in many cook books under "Beef Wellington" . Homemade sourdough bread is an easy and welcome accompaniement to any camp meal , prepare your sourdough starter well in advance for best flavor . You can even make the dough the day before and freeze it for later preparation .
