John’s Amazing Campfire Lasagna That Can Wake Even the Dead

The amounts depend on the size of the pan

Equipment:

• 4 metal baking pans:

  • 1 high-edge metal baking pan for the lasagna

  • 1 metal baking pan slightly larger to fit over the main pan and cover it completely

  • 2 larger metal baking pans

• 2 pots

• Grater

• Frying pan

• Metal wire

• Tongs

• Gloves

Ingredients:

• 4-6 tomatoes – or any other vegetable from other worlds that is red, squishy, and has a sweet, acidic taste; or if you’re a smart Traveler that bought tomato sauce, use that

• 2-3 onions – or another root vegetable that has layers, can be fried and is tasty

• A medium bowl of minced meat

• 10-20 lasagna noodles – or any other dough you can cook in water

• Hard cheese – grated

• Garlic – if you don’t know what it is, I have no idea how to help you

• Salt

• Sugar

• Assorted vegetables that can be grated

• Herb seasoning

Preparation:

• Grate the tomatoes.

• Put the tomatoes in a pot over the fire, let them boil, and move to the side of the campfire where the heat is lower.

• Add sugar and taste. There should be no acidity.

• Add salt, garlic, and herbal seasoning to taste.

• Cook until the amount reduces to 2/3.

• Set aside.

• Boil water in a pot and add the pasta.

• Cook until soft.

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until golden.

• Add the meat and continue frying until brown.

• Add the grated vegetables, mix well, and cook while stirring until the vegetables are ready.

• Add salt and seasoning to taste.

• Layer the pan first with pasta, cover with meat, pour the tomato sauce on top, and sprinkle with grated cheese.

• Repeat 2-3 times depending on the pan.

• Put the lasagna pan in a larger pan, cover with the slightly larger pan, and cover with the other larger pan.

• Wrap the wire around the whole thing to keep it together.

• Move the coals and burning wood aside until you create a cradle. Put the lasagna in the middle and cover it with coals on top and all around.

• Wait until you smell something delicious.

• Move the coals aside and drag the pan out using tongs.

• Put on gloves, unwrap the wire, and open the pans.

Enjoy!

Sounds like too much work.

Tr. LI

Thanks for the recipe; it was delicious.

Tr. MH

Why cook dough in water? Sounds disgusting.

Tr. MJ

Maybe he’s from Tunip. They cook everything in water, even flowers. I lost weight there, even with my Storage.

Tr. LF

Go buy food – you have a Storage.

Tr. NU

I visited a world called Lasaggna; any connection?

Tr. LO

Thank you, JR. Love it!

Tr. MO

Why do you have metal wire?

Tr. GS

I hate Garlic, smelled it once on a world called Dirt

Tr. VI

Seriously? Dirt?

Tr. GS

Yes. They are strange. They want identifications for coins. Don’t go there.

Tr. MK

GS is lying. No way they call their world Dirt.
