BOY SCOUT ONE POT MEALS shortening 2 1/2 to 3 lb. hamburger 3 medium onions 1 medium green pepper 2 cans tomato soup Put about a tablespoon of shortening in each frying pan and put over coals. When frying pan is hot, start to brown hamburger, doing only a little at a time. Remove outer layer and both ends from onions. Dice into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut pepper in half, remove seeds and stem end and wash. Dice into 1/4-inch pieces. Add pepper and onions to hamburger and brown together. Open cans of tomato soup and put contents in kettle. After it is browned, add hamburger to kettle. Do not add grease. Place kettle over coals and bring to a simmer, stir- ring occasionally. With this as a base, you can make a large variety of one-pot meals. Kent Knee of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the 1961 Fall issue of Boy Scout Planning Quarterly, suggested the following variations. For Yum-yums: Add 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on buns. For Camper's Spaghetti: Add 4 (15 ounce) cans of spaghetti. For Spanish Rice: Bring base mixture to a boil. Then add 2 2/3 cups of precooked rice. Cover, but remove from heat. Allow this to stand for 5 minutes. For Hunter's Stew: Add 4 cans of vegetable soup. For Squaw corn: Add 2 cans of 12 ounce vacuum packed corn and 1/2 pound of cheese, diced into 1/4-inch cubes. (Use processed cheese, Cheddar or similar type.) For Hungarian Hot Pot: Add 4 (1-pound) cans of baked beans. Time Required: Preparing the base will take about 20 to 25 minutes. The variations should not take more than 10 minutes additional time. Utensils needed: 2 frying pans, spatula, 8 quart kettle, can opener and stirring spoon. Basic ingredients needed for 8 persons. These are called one-pot meals since the entire dish can be made in one pot. It is recommended that two frying pans be used to prepare the base to speed up the job.
