JUST 4x4s 2013 Summer Gear Guide - Happy Camper Gourmet
Happy Camper Gourmet (HCG) is a range of ready-to-heat-and-eat meals that aren't frozen or freeze-dried, just fresh-sealed and last up to 18 months from packaging.
As they're not frozen, they don't take up valuable space in your portable fridge/freezer! Simply add a pack, unopened, to a pot of boiling water for 6 - 10 minutes (depending on the contents) and you've got a tasty, fresh meal.
Most meals in the range are microwaveable, too.
Beefy Meatballs in Tomato and Basil - 300 grams
The perfect accompaniment for instant pasta mixed up on the campfire or gas burner, these lean and very tasty meatballs (from Victorian grass-fed beef) with a tomato base are infused with sprinkles of basil for extra flavour. Mix with vegetables for a big eater, or halve a portion for a great children's meal.
Cattlemen's Beef Stew - 300 grams
This chunky-style, hearty stew is a truly flavoursome all-Aussie dish. As it's already pre-mixed with potato, carrot and onion, you don't have to fuss with carrying and preparing veggies, either. It's perfect for the 4x4 driver - and passengers! - that want good quality tucker, but don't want to lose time on the trail preparing dinner.
Red Wine & Rosemary Lambshank - 450 grams
A favourite of Happy Camper customers, as well as outback and 4x4 TV personality Pat Callinan, the Red Wine & Rosemary Lambshank packs a tender lamb shank inside each big 450 gram pack.
When cooked, the meat just falls off the bone, and has loads of gravy to mop up with a piece of bread.
If you want to go fancy, HCG suggest adding some roasted vegetables from the camp fire for a great feast in 10-20 minutes. Add some more veggies and a few lambshank packs and you've got a hearty meal for the whole 4x4 crew.
NEW! Lamb Drums in Nanna's Gravy - 500 grams
Need more than one shank? Lamb Drums in Nanna's Gravy is a new HCG meal that comes with TWO lamb drumsticks, plus loads of gravy to mop up in each pack. For two - or one big eater - this 500gram pack has lots of meat: just add your favourite sides (divine with mashed potato) and enjoy! This new addition to the range is a very economical and easy way of making your evening meal.
Apple & Cinnamon Damper - 200 and 400 grams
If you struggle to get damper right, this is a life saver! The HCG damper pre-mix is professionally blended, so you get it right every time. With real dried apple chunks and the sweet spice of cinnamon, this damper is great on its own, and makes a great dessert with fresh cream or custard. The blend only requires a minute of kneading with water, then cook in your camp oven, covered pot, or foil for 20 minutes. Available in 200gram and 400 gram resealable packs, the mixture makes enough for 2 or 4.
Happy Camper Gourmet meals are available from selected camping and outdoor supply stores, butchers and other stockists Australia-wide. Call to find your nearest stockist.
From $9.95 for main meals, from $4.95 for damper premix (pricing correct at time of posting - 29/9/13)
