White Rim Food and Caramelized Onion Notes

This post is mostly about keeping notes for a camping trip prep.  The crockpot will get a workout this week!

So, the trip might be between 5-11 people right now.

Meal plan:
Night 1: Curry and Spring Rolls (if the spring rolls still taste good the day after).
Night 2: Brats and French Onion Soup
Night 3: Fajitas-type stuff
Night 4: Chili

Beforehand:

8 hours in a crock pot: 4.5 lbs. chicken thighs, 1 jar tomatillo salsa (16 oz.)
Shred the chicken, drain a fair bit of the water out.  Will freeze in plastic bags.

Next day:
Chili:
Brown 2lbs. beef with onions, garlic, and chipotle olive oil
Chopped: 2 medium-largish sweet potatoes
2 red bell peppers
1 green bell pepper
3 stalks celery
Canned tomatoes: 1 large can and 2 smaller ones of various flavors.  (Basil, fire-roasted, garlic).

Crock pot is FULL.  Added some cumin and chili powder on top.  Don't know if it will permeate the whole she-bang.

Will freeze in large pitchers.

Caramelized Onions:
Filled medium purple prep bowl within an inch of the top.  Which filled the 12" electric skillet to the top.  Added a daub of butter to the top.  Paid more attention to stirring to prevent burning from last time.  Went well.
