Awesome camping recipe. It did take awhile, but well worth the wait. Feed 35 kids at camp with no left overs. They loved it and want it next time. Thank you

This was easy to make (though it takes a while), and the kids really like it. It makes a lot, and it keeps well, making for quick and easy dinners during the week. I liked topping my sandwiches with cole slaw. I might have preferred a 'bolder' taste, so I may do half ketchup and half BBQ sauce next time.
