Method

  1. Prep your dippers. You can blanch or steam broccolli, cauliflower and potatoes, or cook them in foil pouches on the campfire. Cut sausages into chunks and brown them in your cast iron skillet. Set all your dippers aside in serving bowls.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss shredded cheeses with cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. Cut garlic clove in half and rub your cast iron skillet with the cut side of both pieces of garlic.
