- In this video, Tom and I head out to the wilds of my lockdown, back garden camp to do a bit of campfire cooking. After preparing some firewood and getting our fire lit, we set about preparing this weeks campfire treat - a baked Lasagne in the Dutch Oven.
I have not cooked a Lasagne over the fire before, but I was asked by a subscriber if I could try it in order tempt to her son to give Lasagne a go - I hope it works Catherine!
A Dutch Oven really extends the possibilities of campfire cooking - anything you can bake in the oven at home, is possible in camp - bread, cakes, puddings, pies and any manner of baked goodies.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

Lasagne Recipe
Red Sauce
1 carrot (optional) finely diced
1 large onion finely diced
3 cloves garlic
500g (1.1lbs) minced beef (ground beef)
400ml (3/4pt) beef stock
125 ml (1/4pt) red wine
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 400g can chopped tomatoes
2 tsp dried Italian herbs
Good quality oil
Salt and pepper
White Sauce
75g (2 1/2oz) butter
75g plain flour
3/4 litre (1 1/3pt) full fat milk
1 tsp nutmeg, grated
Loads of parmesan
Lasagne sheets
Fry the onions and carrots until soft.
Add the garlic and fry for 1 minute.
Add the mince and cook until browned.
Add the puree, wine, chopped tomatoes, stock, herbs, salt and pepper and simmer for 45 minutes until reduced and thickened.
Melt the butter in a separate pan and mix in the flour.
Slowly add the milk, mixing continuously.
Add the grated nutmeg and whisk until you have a thick, creamy sauce.
In a Dutch Oven or large baking dish, layer the red sauce, white sauce, parmesan and baking sheets, building up the layers until all of the sauce has been used up.
Finish with a layer of parmesan, ground black pepper and your favourite oil (olive oil or a nice oil infusion)
Bake for 45 minutes at a medium heat.

I was camping in a public campground one time and I made lasagna and peach cobbler in my Dutch ovens. Everyone else in the campground was cooking hotdogs and crappy camping food. As my lasagna cooked and the smell wafted through the area all these people came over and started commenting on how good it smelled and couldn't believe I was eating that well in a campground. I just laughed and said there is never a time when you shouldn't eat well!
I do the same thing. I typically try and stay away from traditional camping foods. Lasagna, chicken parm, home made pizza, BBQ cups, quesadillas, tacos and so on. Our camping trips always lime light meal time. Always over a open fire, never on a grill. I only carry a large cast iron griddle and a dutch oven with 3 cinder blocks and a wind brake made from 8 pieces of PVC, pipe, 4 pieces of cut 2x8 and some wire.
DINNER AT TOMAS TENT GUYS!!! Thanks Tomas.
Glad Tom was about for this one. It’s so nice to see a father and son who get on as well as you do.
Seriously crap day in front of a computer, so this is perfect timing. Who needs stress relief programmes when you can watch a SABINT video and be transported to another world 😊👍
From from bald Si to another... you really hit the nail on the head !
Thanks man! 👍👍
Never would I have thought how enjoyable it would be watching two men cook in their garden! Great news about Maggie and a great video!
So great to see father and son working together xxx
Tom seem like a respectful and polite young lad. He's a credit to you.
I enjoy your YT "handle"
The true prize of parenting is when the progeny "grasp"the beauty and admiration of what the great outdoors is about. That grasp then brings a life time of understanding what is truly valuable. Nature and the enjoyment of it can not be be dublicated..artificially! Especially when shared with someone who truly cares. ...my blessing is this Simon..."may your feet be sure on the trail, your campfire warm at night and your trail tales be true,!" Make some tales with your loved ones...while you can!
the most correct way to light a fire
Always come back every so often and re-watch this gem. Never fails to disappoint! Great work Simon and Tom!
Brilliant way to continue doing what you love during a difficult time...We were locked down from the end of 2019 to the end of 2021 and all I could do was map out my garden which is huge now so I may have to have a camp in it. May even try lasagna on the bbq...I made a rosemary cornbread and grilled peach cake tonight on it. Gotta love a man that can cook. It is good that you are teaching your son these skills. Good job Simon...take care
As Always you are the best. I can't wait to see you out in the wood.
wish you all have great day/night .
Thank you my friend.
Looks lovely
So wonderful you could be with your son. My son had to take a job almost 1000 miles away so it is so difficult to have those old camping trips together as we did in the past. Enjoy you time together. 💕Maggie
Great seeing a Father and Son doing this, great stuff, very healthy.
Simons the best cook I know but haven’t met !
Simply amazing seeing him whip up such meals
I also really love his MRE videos and when he’s having the basic call meals too
Big fan I am
Nice to see Tom out with dad!!!!
Great news about our favorite gal MAGGIE..! Our family is a big fan of her.. Glad she is doing better we were all praying for her recovery..
here for the first time this Tom seems like a super nice guy
Great food and good times with father and son. Can't buy that memory!
When I don't see Simon's face and listen to him talk is like listening to a football commentary which I absolutely love
Wow, what a great young man Tom is. I have been watching for a while. I finish my day watching your videos. Thank you so much Simon.
Yes Tom is a lovely polite young man a real credit to you and it's great to see father and son camping together bless you both blessings from Australia 🤠
That looked absolutely yum, mate! Great news about Maggie. And Tom’s a fine young man. It’s like you’re doing a national service in these unprecedented and bloody weird times. Top bloke. Cheers!
Great news that Maggie is feeling well again
Thank you!
So happy Maggie is better. Great seeing you and Tom together
Hi Simon, Tom is growing up. Remembering video three years ago. Thanks for showing cooking / baking lasagne outside. We are spending so much time in the garden and round the farm we live on. Take care looking forward to better times...Alex German Eifel.
You have a sweet polite boy right there! You did good bloke, on the boy and the vid !
Always nice to see you and Tom together over the fire.
What a great day spent with your son. My son is grown now but we used to camp and cook a lot. We work together now and are sometimes able to take the grandkids out camping. These are memories that will never be lost. Thank you Simon and Tom.
"This is even better than going out." Worth more than gold, right there! Good on ya, Simon.
p.s. good news about Maggie!
i haven’t even had a bite and i agree with tom, best lasagna i’ve ever had
You guys nailed it!! Looked perfect! Good to see Tom out there with you. Glad Maggie is better!!!
Really glad to see that Maggie is on the mend. Nothing worse than when your best mate is unwell and they cant tell us exactly whats wrong and where it hurts.
I could smell that all the way over the pond..... Great video ... Neighbor noise is no bother at all.. gotta be a good neighbor to have good neighbors..
The birdsong alone is so beautiful...
Oh I am so going to have to try this. I was half asleep and now I’m hungry
Thank God for Maggie's recovery. They are friends and family. It's nice to hear such good news. Great vid, keep it up. April's not that far away😄
Am I the only one who giggles every time he mentions a Dutch oven? I know I'm a child.
I'm here at my lunch and then you're showing me something even more delicious darn you Simon darn you my friend
Its good to see Tom again & to hear the good news about Maggie. Hopefully your country will remain safe with opening things up. Best to you & yours. And thank you so much for another wonderful video.
Love your videos, they perfectly transport that meditative vibe which comes more or less automatically when cooking outdoors over the fire. Besides, it is absolutely reasonable that this lasagne is praised so much as everything tastes better when cooked outdoors.
The best bushcraft meal yet! I haven't been on much in a while, but it looks like Tom grew into those feet😊. Time if just flying bye. Glad you two are sharing it together.
Glad to hear those good news.
Go on.
We're dribbling after watching this, great work Tom and Simon, and very pleased to see Maggie bouncing again!
Hey Tom, surprised to see you. Glad to see your doing well.
Very happy to hear Maggie is healing.
Food looks great. God bless the family.
Thank goodness Maggie is on the mend. Lovely to see Tom joining in today. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
So happy to hear about maggie dudr🙌😇❤❤❤
Glad to hear Maggie is doing well
Glad to hear Maggie is getting better, all the best to the family.
Gosh, how did I miss this video, back in March? Those Chaffinches were having a merry old time!
Fjällräven pants, the absolute best I have four different ones of them.Keb trousers are the best. Amazing durability! Great video all together!
Aww was lovely to see Tom again and the absolute best news about Maggie 😀👍
I actually started salivating when i saw the title....for me it's the 3rd day of a 5+ day fast and i could really do a lasagne in a Dutch oven right now.
Glad you brought Tom. Has he grown a foot taller since you con’d him into carrying the dutch oven? We won’t forget that, heh, heh...Glad your friend, Maggie is on the mend. Man, this food looks wonderful for a change, heh, heh... I’ve made it in my kitchen, but never over coals. Well done, Man. I gotta give it a try. Whew, sheesh, THAT LOOKED SO GOOD. Gardeners, they all think they own the place. High praise from Tom is good enough for me. Thanks. Texas
Thank you , Simon , and Tom .

Another great video even with lock down. Glad to see your son with you. You needed your little over to bake some fresh bread to go with it.
Can't get much more wholesome than that! Such a pleasure to watch! Thanks!
Nice to see father and son bonding over a campfire cook out. Lasagna Looked great.
VERY NICE 👍👍 Richard will be pleased. 🤣😂🤣 Great video as always Simon. Nice to have Tom a part of the mixture and awesome news about Maggie!!!! - stay safe - ATB
I am soo making this as soon as I get my campfire Dutch oven!!
We can discuss some details but... 😋 Italy approved! 🤗
Hahaha - thank you - the recipe was always going to be a bit controversial! 😂
I was looking for an Italian making a comment :D
Jumping around today on different videos of yours. Enjoying. Lasagna you two made looked really good. But the other thing you two made got to my heart: Memories. Cherish them.
Holy smokes that looks fantastic
Great news on Maggie and lockdown. Congrats!
The lasagne looked marvelous. I’ll have to try that on my next trip out, with the challenge of how to make lasagne for one in a Billy Can!
Glad that Tom was part of your backyard bushcraft adventure and hope you all stay safe and take good care!
Soundtrack hit the mark for me! 👌
Brilliant!
Brilliant news about Maggie, there our babies and its really upsetting and scarey when they aren't well.
Isn't it great that maybe we are getting to a point where we can get out and about and pray its the last real lockdown we have to get through.
Can't wait to go to our cabin and chill and cook outside , you all take care and stay safe and look forward to your next vid. just that, a bit of background noise, could hear the birds singing and watching the food cooking was amazing and everything else was fine 🙂 brilliant vid and your so lucky to have a big enough garden to have an escape pod
Great to see Tom out with you .
Team effort lasagne looked brilliant .
Good news about Maggie.
Thanks to Tom and Simon. Good work. I was a super fan before, and your videos have been more than helpful during the lock down. Go Maggie go !!!
I liked this one. Great to see Tom again. And i'm so happy that Maggie is getting better. It's uplifting to see all those good things going on in these difficult times.
Greetings,, Kitty.
Delighted to hear about Maggie!!
what a wonderful way to enjoy your garden! I'm inspired to give it a try myself!
Awesome news about Maggie!! Another great vid, Simon & Tom!! Stay Safe!!
I rarely make lasagna because it's so much work. Lazy? But to do it on the fire is very admirable!
Good to see Tom out and great news concerning Maggie, she’ll be back on the trail in no time!! Awesome lasagna mates also one of my favorites!!
Well done tom.
Good thing Tom had a metal spoon this time!
So glad to hear on Maggie’s recovery, that looked amazing!!! Wish I was having that for my tea!!!
That looked bloody good. Yes please simon
Well done Tom
Very nice video,precious time with your lad.
the best lasagnas we make in life just ask for chopping and sautéing a few staple veggies, browning some meat, and reducing that sauce to a heavenly taste worth sharing. bechamel sauce shares a little more love too! excellent demo!
Wow, I am definitely going to try this recipe.....thanks for sharing it.....
Great to see Tom again in your video. Makes me want to do some cooking with my kids. Glad to hear your lockdown is easing up. Also, glad that Maggie is recovering.
I've made lots of things in my dutch oven, but never lasagna. I think I will attempt that this weekend. Thanks for the challenge!
Great news about Maggie and always nice to see Tom. Thank you Simon.
that lasagna looked so good I am starving and I JUST ATE! WHAT THE HECK!?!?!

Awesome job Simon, and Tom🤪
Simply Looked Yummy !! Outstanding Job 👍Cheers from the U.S.A..🇺🇸
That turned out wonderfully! Well done!
Great Dish !! Kent Rollins master of Cast Iron Says Rotate !! Enjoy Your Meal !!
I top my lasagna with sausage, pepperoni & extra mozzarella just like a pizza.
Delicious
Excellent video Simon, well done. Thanks!
Lovely bit of cooking there!
Another great video Simon! I'm glad y'all can see the light at the end of the lockdown. I'm SOOOO glad I haven't had to deal with that!
Great vid Simon. So glad Maggie is doing well.
Quick tip: When you want to mince a piece of garlic quickly, put the flat side of your knife on it and give it a bash with your fist. Skin peels right off and it'll only take a couple of chops to get it minced. Saves a lot of time!
This is also how I do it. Probably one of the best kitchen hacks!
YUP good ole dutch oven cooking , we do it often in the north of Alberta ,Canada .. GOOD STUFF .
Good to see you involve your son..
CHEERS,glad Maggie is well..
