Colorado Camper's Trout

1 lb. bacon

2 white onions, thinly sliced

1 to 2 freshly caught, pan-sized trout, cleaned

1/2 cup yellow corn meal

1/2 cup flour

1 Tbsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Fry, drain and nibble on bacon while doing next step!


Saute onions in bacon grease, drain and salt, and nibble while preparing the fish.


Coat fish well with mixture of corn meal, flour, salt and pepper. Fry fish in hot grease until done and very crisp. Garnish with onion and bacon.

Serve with bread and campfire coffee. This is the best way to eat trout: when it is stream-fresh, it's hard to beat!

Makes 1 serving.
