This looks delicious and I can imagine how it could be heated up in a pie tin at a camp site, but TOH didn't catch the error in the directions. The recipe suggests that the pie pan be placed in the microwave. Readers: DO NOT PLACE A PIE TIN IN THE MICROWAVE! The recipe was probably written assuming it was in a Pyrex dish to be used at home. At the camp site, I might double wrap the tin in foil and set the pan on the outer perimeter of a campfire, turning it occasionally for 15-20 minutes until cheese melts and dip is heated..
